Background documentationPrerequisites for Order and Delivery Integration

 

To be able to use these functions, you must activate the following business functions:

  • ERP-TMS: Order Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT) business function. The integration of order processing and delivery processing with SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) is then possible with SAP Transportation Management 8.0 (SAP TM 8.0) or higher.

    Note Note

    The ERP-TMS: Order Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT) business function provides sales order scheduling functions. If you do not use sales order scheduling, you can activate the ERP-TMS: Basic Order Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT_TRQ) business function instead. It provides exactly the same functions, but without sales order scheduling.

    End of the note.

  • ERP-TMS: Order and Invoice Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT_II) allows you to 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 applies from SAP Transportation Management 9.0 (SAP TM 9.0) or higher.

To integrate orders and deliveries with SAP TM, you must make the following settings.

Business Functions

To transfer purchase orders and stock transport orders to SAP TM, you have to activate the Operations, Enterprise Services 2 (LOG_ESOA_OPS_2) business function. The following business functions are also recommended:

  • Advanced Returns Management (OPS_ADVRETURNS_1) for transferring returns orders to SAP TM

  • Logistics Simplification (SD_01) or Operations, Enterprise Services (ESOA_OPS01) for transferring sales orders to SAP TM

For more information, see SAP Note 1530240Information published on SAP site.

Document Transfer

In Customizing for Integration with Other SAP Components, you activate the transfer of documents to SAP TM under Start of the navigation path Transportation Management Next navigation step Order Integration End of the navigation path by making the following settings:

  1. In the Customizing activity Define Control Keys for Document Transfer, you define control keys that are used to determine which documents in a document chain are to be transferred to SAP TM.

    For sales orders, you can also specify whether sales order scheduling is to take place in SAP TM. Note that this is only possible if you have activated the ERP-TMS: Order Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT) business function.

  2. You assign the control keys to the relevant document types in the Customizing activities Activate Transfer of Sales Documents, Activate Transfer of Purchase Orders, and Activate Transfer of Delivery Documents. If you are using more than one transportation management system, you can also enter a technical transportation management number, which is used to route the document to the correct transportation management system.

Messaging Settings

  • For sales documents and deliveries, you have to set up output determination and create condition records. For more information, see the documentation of the Customizing activities Activate Transfer of Sales Documents and Activate Transfer of Delivery Documents.

  • For purchase orders and stock transfer orders, you have to set up the required workflows by defining the service output and event type linkage. For more information, see the documentation of the Customizing activity Activate Transfer of Purchase Orders.

Service Operations

You have to implement the required enterprise services. For more information, see Enterprise Services for Order and Delivery Integration.
