This report creates delivery proposals for order-based transportation requirements. Based on the selection criteria or selection profiles specified in the report, SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) creates delivery proposals to cover the demand. A proposal consists of groups of freight units or directly created freight orders that can be delivered together. SAP TM sends the proposals to SAP ERP to create deliveries.

After the delivery proposals have been created and sent to SAP ERP, the system creates an entry in the application log. The application log entry includes the delivery proposals that were sent to SAP ERP. Furthermore, the system sets a send timestamp in freight units or directly created freight orders for which a delivery proposal was sent to SAP ERP.

Note that if the user specified a delivery profile that requires the planning results to be fixed for planned freight units, directly created freight orders, freight orders, or freight bookings, the system fixes the planning results during delivery proposal creation. Otherwise, the system does not fix the planning results.
