- SAP Transportation Management: Planning and tendering.
- This demonstration shows how the SAP Transportation Management application allows you to
- optimize transportation requirements, communicate shipment details with a carrier,
- and confirm shipment integration with the SAP ERP application
- Enabling you to
- Reduce transportation spend based on your business needs,
- Plan, execute, and monitor freight from a single cockpit,
- and Tightly integrate planning and execution.
- Optimize transportation requirements.
- Rick Johnson is a transportation planner at OEC Computers.
- Looking in SAP ERP, he knows he can use SAP Transportation Management
- to create the most efficient transportation plan for the sales orders
- that were taken by customer service.
- Rick can do this automatically through rules and conditions
- that he has previously defined, but in this case, Rick wants to plan the orders manually.
- The sales orders are integrated automatically from the SAP ERP application to
- SAP Transportation Management.
- Rick goes to the transportation cockpit in SAP Transportation Management,
- where he can work with the sales orders,
- select transportation requirements, and perform the optimization.
- First, he selects the orders that he wants to optimize for shipping.
- Next, he selects how he wants to run the optimizer function.
- Once the optimization is complete he accepts and saves the results.
- As an alternative, Rick could have scheduled the optimization to run
- automatically so that he would only need to review the results.
- Rick reviews the freight orders that were created through optimization
- and sees the document flow from sales order through freight order.
- Communicate shipment details with a carrier
- Rick can now review the carrier rankings determined during the optimization.
- He decides that he’s satisfied with the carrier rankings,
- and can now initiate the tendering process.
- Rick can see messages indicating that an RFQ for freight has been created.
- He can track the process by viewing the Tendering status tab.
- Here you can see that the process he selected has two stages.
- First, the freight order is tendered to two different carriers sequentially
- if the first carrier declines, the load will be re-tendered to the next carrier automatically.
- Then, if both carriers decline the tender, a broadcast tendering process will be initiated.
- With SAP Transportation Management, shippers can define which type of tendering process
- they want to deploy, including combinations of different types of tendering.
- John Miller is a dispatcher for a carrier that is authorized to use
- OEC Computers’ transportation portal.
- He receives an alert with the tender offer for shipment.
- John can respond via the Web portal or via electronic data interchange.
- Once John clicks “Accept,” his response is sent to Rick who will evaluate the response
- and decide whether to award the load to John or to another carrier.
- Back at OEC Computers, Rick looks at the shipment details.
- He sees that the carrier has accepted and been awarded the shipment
- the tendering process is now complete.
- Rick also can see that the carrier that accepted the load
- has been assigned to the load in the business partner tab.
- Confirm shipment integration with SAP ERP.
- Now Rick wants to confirm that delivery information has been
- sent from SAP Transportation Management to SAP ERP.
- His first step is to update SAP ERP with the delivery proposals.
- Rick chooses the freight orders for which he wants to send information.
- Then, he verifies the delivery information in SAP ERP
- by reviewing the freight-order document flow,
- clicking the hyperlink for the sales order within the freight order,
- and looking at the document-flow page to see the delivery information posted there.
- Now Rick is able to print shipping-documentation for the freight order that can be
- shared with downstream parties like warehouse personnel or carriers.
- From these pages, he can track the planned − as well as actual − status of the freight order,
- sales order, or transportation requirement.
- As you have seen, SAP Transportation Management gives you the tools you need to
- Reduce transportation spend based on your business needs,
- Plan, execute, and monitor freight from a single cockpit,
- and Tightly integrate planning and execution.
