    • 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.
