Integration of Shipment Collaboration with SAP ERP
You can transfer data from published shipments from SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) to an SAP ERP system. This allows you to manage shipments in a logistics execution system such as SAP ERP and confirm goods receipts for shipments in this system.
Prerequisites
You have activated the business function Supply Network Collaboration 1 (SCM_SNC_GEN_1
).
You have licensed and installed SAP ERP 6.0 or higher. You use inbound shipments in SAP ERP. For this purpose, you have configured the shipment type 0010 (Inbound Shipment)
in Customizing for the SAP ERP system, under 
Logistics Execution
Shipment
Shipments

Features

You can set up the following data exchange between SAP SNC and SAP ERP:
Transfer data from published shipments to SAP ERP and automatically create inbound shipments in SAP ERP
Transfer data from canceled shipments to SAP ERP and automatically cancel associated inbound shipments in SAP ERP
We provide the following message types for the message exchange:
The
FreightOrderExecutionRequest
message type for creating shipmentsThe
FreightOrderExecutionCancelRequest
message type for canceling shipments
As of SAP ERP 6.0, you can use operation mappings to convert XML messages into the following IDocs:
SHPMNT.SHPMNT05
for creating shipmentsSHPCPR.TPSSHT01
for canceling shipments
As of SAP Enhancement Package 3 for SAP ERP 6.0, you can receive shipment information from SAP SNC using the following service interfaces:
FreightOrderExecutionRequest_In
service interface if creating shipmentsFreightOrderExecutionCancelRequest_In
service interface if canceling shipments

Shipment Posting in SAP ERP: Error Handling
If you transfer shipment data from SAP SNC to SAP ERP using XML messages and IDocs, SAP ERP can only create inbound shipments if the corresponding inbound deliveries have been created previously. If this is not the case, the IDoc posting in SAP ERP fails. To repeat the posting of shipment IDocs
whose posting has failed, you must schedule the Manual Processing of IDocs: Post IDocs Not Yet Posted
(RBDMANI2
) report in SAP ERP.
