You can use this business function to integrate order and invoice processing in SAP ERP with transportation planning in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM). It enables you to optimize order and invoice processing with transportation planning by exchanging information about orders and deliveries between SAP ERP and SAP TM. This close integration is essential, especially for companies working with global networks of suppliers and carriers.
To use this business function to integrate order and invoice processing with SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM), you must run SAP Transportation Management 9.0 (SAP TM 9.0) or higher.
You can use this business function to carry out the following activities:
Display in SAP ERP the SAP TM document status and document flow for a specific ERP purchase order, stock transport order, sales order, outbound delivery, or inbound delivery for return orders and purchase orders. This includes information about the documents created for an order or delivery, and the status of the documents. This gives you an overview of the entire ERP-TM process for an individual ERP document and enables you to track the status of document processing in SAP TM from SAP ERP.
Display a simulation of the ERP invoice for a TM settlement document in the SAP TM system. This enables the user to see, for example, tax information from the respective ERP billing document. The print preview also contains TM-specific data. This data is also displayed in the print preview in SAP ERP when the ERP invoice is finally created in the ERP system.
In addition, the SAP TM system uses the freight charges in the TM freight settlement document as the basis of the freight cost distribution. SAP TM transfers freight costs and the allocated freight cost at the ERP item level to SAP ERP. This enables you to post financial details, with account assignments for the allocated costs.
The outbound integration of SAP ERP shipment processing has been extended to include integration with the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) application. This enables you to integrate SAP TM transportation planning with delivery and shipment processing in SAP ERP and warehouse planning and execution in SAP EWM.
Note that SAP TM is integrated with SAP EWM via SAP ERP. Data is not sent directly between SAP TM and SAP EWM. You transfer information between SAP ERP and SAP EWM using remote function calls.
