Shipper scenario

[former_member193027]

Hi,

In majority cases we have seen freight order in SAP TM creates the shipment document in ECC but we have a requirement where the shipment process should be created and executed in ECC based on which FO /FB is to be created in SAP TM.

I did not find in the help guide about this scenario and also the corresponding PI services to be used

Hi Dipak,

This is very much possible and is a standard scenario. The shipment integration can be configured using two different alternatives:

IDOC Mapping in PI

SOA2IDOC / IDOC2SOA Mapping

Please use following interfaces and refer to the SAP documentation to configure the entire scenario. [SAP Transportation Management: Basic Settings and Integration for SAP ERP]

SHPMNT.SHPMNT05[ECC] to TransportationOrderSCMRequest_In[TM]

SHIPPL.TPSSHT01[ECC] TransportationOrderSCMCancellationRequest_In [TM]

This is called inbound integration of shipments. "Inbound integration enables you to carry out tendering in SAP TM for shipments created in SAP ERP. SAP TM creates freight orders based on shipments received from SAP ERP"

"SAP does not support the use of order and delivery integration in conjunction with inbound integration of ERP shipments. The system allows you to transfer shipments and their related deliveries from SAP ERP to SAP TM even if you have already transferred these deliveries (and their related orders) using the order and delivery integration functions. If you intend to use order and delivery integration in conjunction with inbound integration of shipments in the same SAP ERP client, you must make the required configuration and organizational settings to ensure that the SAP TM system cannot create duplicate transportation requirements."
