1 Transportation Management
PurposeTransportation is an essential element in the logistics chain. It affects both incoming and outgoing goods. Effective transportation planning and processing ensure that shipments are dispatched without delay and arrive on schedule. Transportation costs play an essential role in the calculation of the price of a product. It is important to keep these transportation costs to a minimum so that the price of a product remains competitive. Efficient transportation planning and processing helps to keep these costs down.
This business scenario describes the possibilities for the usage of Sales and Distribution (SD) and Logistics Execution Transportation (LE-TRA) as tool for the order handling process at Logistics Service Providers. In addition to building block D32 “Order Management for LSP” this scenario also contains the execution steps within LE-TRA.
PrerequisitesBefore running this Business Process Procedure (BPP) the following building blocks need to be installed on your system:
Layer 0 All layer 0 building blocks
D30 CO Settings
D31 Variant Configuration
D32 Order Management
D33 LES for Order Management

Building Block Description
SAP Best Practices D34: Transportation Management - BPP
ProcessIn this business scenario it is assumed that a customer places a shipping order to carry goods from a customer location in Bad Homburg (66120) to a ship-to-party in Norderstedt (20054).
The Logistics Service Providers determines that a preliminary, main and subsequent shipment is required to handle this order:
The preliminary shipment is executed by an external forwarding agent (LSP-10000). This agent brings the goods from the customer departure point in Bad Homburg to the first transportation connection point (HUB) in München.
The main shipment from the first transportation connection point in München to the second transportation connection point in Hamburg is executed by the internal forwarding agent (LSP-20000).
Finally the subsequent shipment from Hamburg to the ship-to-party in Norderstedt is executed by an external forwarding agent (LSP-10000).
The following pictures provide an overview of the business scenario which is executed in this BPP:

SAP Best Practices D34: Transportation Management - BPP
ResultBased on the LSP Booking automatically an Outbound Delivery is created with the required Handling Units (pallets).
The Outbound Delivery serves as a basis for the required Shipments (preliminary, main, subsequent). The Shipments are planned and executed by an external and internal Forwarding Agent. The Handling Units are loaded at the customer departure point and unloaded at the customer ship-to address.
After the execution of the Shipments the Shipment Costs are settled with the Forwarding Agents. Finally the calculated shipment costs are billed to the customer.

Customizing
In order to run through this scenario, the following steps should be executed the first time only:
1. Configuration of transportation processing for forwarding agents
2. Assign processor to queues
2.1 Configuration of Transportation Processing for forwarding Agents
UseIn this section you define the basic settings that are required for transportation planning, and for status and event verification through the forwarding agents. The forwarding agents work with the sender's SAP System via the Internet. Or if there is an event verification, they use a WAP-enabled mobile. For this purpose, each user needs an SAP system user.
PrerequisitesThe external forwarding agent LSP-10000 should exist as a vendor account with account group ‘0005’ (forwarding agent) in the system.
Procedure1. Access the transaction choosing one of the following navigation options:
SAP IMG path Logistics Execution Transportation Shipments Configuration of Transportation Processing for Forwarding Agents
SAP Transaction code SPRO
2. On the Forwarding Agent User Assignment screen, choose and make the following entries:

The partner roles for the preliminary, main and subsequent shipments do not have to be entered in the Variant Configuration. Within this BPP scenario the basic partner functions for Bill-to party and Payer, which are assigned to the sold-to-party, are used. However, it’s possible to differ from the standard partner functions by entering a different Bill-to party and Payer in the Variant Configuration. This process is described in more detail in the BPP scenario of building block D33.
7. Choose Next screen (F8) . Based on the ‘Transport Mode’ from the Variant Configuration a bill-of-material (BOM) is exploded from the main item. For each required shipment (pre, main and sub) a BOM sub position is automatically created on the sales order.
