Uodate Freight/Booking order from SAP TM to SAP ECC

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Iam an SD consultant and new to SAP TM. We have the follwoing requirement.

The delivery proposal is sent from TM to ECC and in ECC it will create a delivery. The delivery proposal  from TM does not  carry the freight/booking  order no from TM. we need to send booking order no in the outbound message from SAP TM to ECC. And then we want the booking order number to store in delivery in ECC.

questions are

1) how  TM communciates with ECC. we have been told that there are two interfaces

OutboundDeliveryBulkCreateRequest_ (for sending delivery proposal from TM to ECC )

OutboundDeliveryBulkConfirmation_In (for sending back delivery creation message from ECC to TM )

2 ) I need to know what are these interfaces. Are these idocs. How to enchance the same in TM and ECC to achieve  the above regarding booking order. That is how to inlcude booking order no in  delivery proposals message so that it is sent from TM to ECC.

3 ) In ECC,  how the booking order no will be captured from TM and how it will be updated in delivery ?

hi Pamela,

sap erp communicates with tm using XML Messages (so called Enterprise Services).  the Standard way to update erp would be to create freight orders and have those create erp shipments. But, you certainly have your reasons why you want to update only deliveries. Enhancing the Enterprise Service and modifying the update is certainly the best way. If you do not get help on this. Here is an alternative:

To get the booking number/freight order Number for the FU, I would use the save document prepare user Exit in the delivery and write the Fo number into LIFEX. You can use a remote function call to call tm, alternatively, you can store the FO number in the FU with a custom save strategy.

Step 1: get the sales orde number (VGBEL) within Exit in sd delivery
Step 2: read the Fu related to the sales order (if ist 1:1), you can use the field LABELTXT in the ROOT node of the TOR object.

Step 3: get the FO related to the relevant stage (following coding).
