Global Freight Forwarding and Customs Brokerage

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello,

Currently researching SAP, and am looking for information RE how SAP supports global freight forwarding and customs brokerage features. Is this a fairly well developed feature set of SAP via existing modules? If so, which modules should I be reviewing to begin to understand better what functionality exists "out of the box."

Also, if support materials/documentation exists for these modules I would greatly appreciate being pointed at them.

Thank you

Jeff

Robert,

Thank you for your reply. I understand from your post that an official product launch is slated for 2013, but in the meantime what information is available about TM 9.0 and the featureset for FF's and LSP's? Are there manuals, process specs, documentation, videos etc.?

I would be glad for any information that you can point me to, but understand if there is not much available at this time.

Sincerely,

Jeff
