1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Why this Guide?
We believe that hands-on experience is necessary to understand and implement SAP TM. This guide
helps you to get a first glimpse of the functionality of SAP TM.
1.2 How to Use this guide
This guide contains exemplary configuration and master data. Do not use the master data and
configuration with XX. Create your own example data and replace XX with a number or your
initials.
1.3 Help
TA is used as an abbreviation for transaction.
Please log on to the system in ENGLISH.
1.4 Customizing
1.4.1 Overview
In Customizing, you make certain settings that, together with your master data, determine system
behavior. Frequently, you are asked to go to Customizing - and this is what you have to do to get to
Customizing:
1. Enter TA SPRO.
2. Choose the

pushbutton.

You are now in customizing for SAP Transportation Management.

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

1.4.2 Customizing Request


Depending on your system settings, you may have to work with customizing requests.
You can create a new customizing request to store the changes you made in one system and transfer
these changes to another system. Choose Own requests or - if you do not have any open requests
choose

and enter an appropriate short description in the following screen.

Save the request and press enter in the Prompt for Customizing Request screen.

Always do right. This will


gratify some people and
astonish the rest.
2 SCENARIO

Mark Twain

This guide describes a scenario from Cologne to Chicago that uses two trucks and an ocean vessel.
The goods are transported from Europe to the US and the scenario allows you to select a port of
departure.
The involved business partners are the following:

Shipper 1 (Cologne)
Consignee 1 (Chicago)

The stages of the transport are the following:

Pre-carriage, full container load (Cologne - Bremen)


Main Carriage, port port (Bremen - Newark)
On-carriage, full container load (Newark Chicago)

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

3 BASE CONFIGURATION
After all is said and done, more is
said than done.
Aesop 620 BC-560 BC
Most likely, an active version and model have already been created in your system.

3.1 Model and Version


As a first step, SAP TM requires you to create an active model and version in each system.
If you access your SAP TM for the first time, you have to execute the following Customizing activity.
NOTE: You can execute this Customizing activity multiple times without harming your existing
setup.

3.2 Organizational Model and Business Partners


3.2.1 Overview
The organizational model in SAP TM is independent from the organization model in SAP ERP. SAP
TM 8.1 introduced the organizational unit Forwarding House which can be used for purchasing and
sales activities.
In Customizing for SAP Transportation Management, choose Transportation Management Master
Data Organizational Management Organizational Model Create Organizational Model.

Choose the New pushbutton, define a validity period...

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

and enter the following data:

On the Org. data tab page, choose the

pushbutton and select Org. Unit Function Company.

3.2.2 Forwarding House


In the Staff assignment (structure) screen area, select Organizational Unit XX and choose the
pushbutton. In the Choose Relationship pop-up, select Is line supervisor of.

Create the following forwarding house:


Organization
Code
Function
Forwarding House

FORW_XX

Description

Org Unit
Function

Forwarding House
XX

Forwarding
House

Parent Node
ORGUNIT_XX

10

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

To do this, switch back to the Org.data tab page and choose the New pushbutton.

3.2.3 Sales and Purchasing Organization


After you've created a forwarding house, create a sales organization and a purchasing organization in
the same manner.
NOTE: You might want to write down the organization ID that the system automatically
creates for your purchasing and sales organization (50001644 and 50001645 in this example)
because, when asked to enter the purchasing/sales organization later on in the scenario, you
will need to enter these organization IDs and NOT the codes (PURCH_XX and SALES_XX).

11

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

3.3 Means of Transport


In Customizing for SAP Transportation Management, choose Transportation Management Master
Data Resources Define Means of Transport...

and create the following means of transport for both road transportation in Germany and the US
and sea transportation.

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

The standard trucks are maintained as multi-resource trucks, i.e. you can define how many actual
trucks are available per means of transport. This reduces the maintenance efforts for creating your
master data.
NOTE: You can only enter the number of individual resources after you have saved your
entries.

Save your entries.


NOTE: Ignore the warning that you violate the name space by simply pressing Enter.

4.6 Vehicle Resources


A vehicle resource is an actual vehicle that transports goods from A to B, e.g. truck 1 or ship Queen
Mary.
When you create a vehicle resource, you can assign a means of transport to it. Thus, this vehicle is
available for this mean of transport in any planning activities.
The available capacity of a vehicle cannot be maintained for a specific period of time. If you would like
to create a vehicle with limited availability times,create shift sequences.
4.6.1 Create

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

On the Time-Cont. Capacity tab page, enter the following data:

4.7 Transportation Lanes


A transportation lane is a direct route between source location and destination location.
4.7.1 Overview
When you create transportation lanes, you have two general options:
1. You create individual transportation lanes for each pair of locations
2. You assign all your locations to a single transportation zone and create only one
transportation lane from the transportation zone to itself. This makes sense if you use IGS to
calculate the distances.

In the following, we pursue a mixed approach.

4.7.2 Create
Enter TA /n/SCMTMS/TL5 and create the following transportation lanes:

Type

From Location /
TZone

To Location /
TZone

Means of
Transport

Distance /

DE-TZ_02_XX

31

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

Alternatively, on the SAP Easy Access Screen for SAP Transportation Management, choose Master
Data Transportation Network Define Transportation Lanes.

NOTE: You can change the proposed duration and distance manually.

4.7.3 Example: Intra-Zone Lane


On the Intra-Zone Lane/Loc. Transp. Lane tab page, enter the technical name of the transportation
zone you want to create and choose the Create pushbutton.

In the Means of Transport screen area, choose the New pushbutton...

and create means of transport DE_XX with the following data (see next page):

32

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

Choose the

pushbutton to save your entries.

4.8 Check the Lane Setup


A common problem in the setup of SAP TM is the maintenance of lanes. The following sections
describe how to use two reports that allow you to determine whether two locations are directly
connected and how far apart they are.
Unfortunately, there is currently no check which determines if two locations are connected via hubs.

4.8.1 Distance Between Two Locations


The transportation zone concept makes it sometimes difficult to determine the distance between two
locations within this zone.
You can use report /SCMB/TEST_DDD to determine the distance and duration between two locations.
In TA se38, enter /SCMB/TEST_DDD and choose the Execute pushbutton.

33

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

NOTE: The report does not tell you whether there really is a transportation lane between the locations
specified, it only returns distance and transport duration.

34

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

4.8.2 Existence of Lanes


Report /SCMB/TEST_LDDD checks whether two locations are connected by a transportation lane.
The report tells you if two locations are directly connected by a transportation lane or by a
transportation lane defined on transportation zone level.
In TA se38, enter /SCMB/TEST_LDDD and choose the Execute pushbutton.

35

SAP TM 9.0 - Planning and Network Tutorial

5 USING THE NWBC

Voyages-tab by selecting a weekday.
Once you have created a departure rule, choose Generate Voyages in the Voyages-Tab.

As a result, you can see all the voyages that can be used for planning:

5.1.2 Deleting Existing Freight Units and Freight Orders


In TA se38, execute the /SCMTMS/DELETE_BOS report to delete your existing freight units and
freight orders.
NOTE: Make sure that you do not delete freight units and freight orders from other people.
