SAP TM9.0: Available EDI Messages

[Former Member]

Can we use EDI to communicate with Carriers/ Suppliers?

Hello Samir,

Have a look at the proxy services provided with TM. You can access them by using Tcode SPROXY. These XML services come pre-configured and tied to actions in TM.

For example:

• The send to carrier option on a Freight Order will use the TransportationOrderRequest_Out service. (EDI 204)
• The inbound EDI 990 can come in use TransportationOrderConfirmation_In and it will set the Freight Order's status to confirmed by carrier

If your looking to integrate EDI 214 (Shipment Status Message) I would recommend using Event Management and its native integration with TM.

Note: You will need to use a middleware of some kind (PI or other) to convert the XML message to EDI and visa-versa.

Hello Samir,

You are welcome. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I have successfully implemented 204s, 210s, 214s, and 990s with TM and can point you in the right direction for any of those.
