Integration of TM with the Loading
Process 
Purpose
By integrating Transportation Management (TM) with the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) component, you enable bills of lading to be printed automatically when vehicles are being loaded.
Prerequisites
You have set up printer and form determination. For more information, see Printer and Form Determination.
Process
...
1. When an outbound delivery or an outbound delivery order is created or changed in delivery processing, a notification is automatically sent to TM. In TM, planned shipments or final shipments are created or updated.
2. When deliveries are assigned to transportation units and vehicles in shipping and receiving, and the status Loading End is set, a notification is sent to TM. Bills of lading are created automatically in TM and the status Shipment Completed is set. Bills of lading are an aggregation of final shipments that are assigned to a freight document. Provided that a freight document from earlier planning results is not already available, a freight document is automatically created on receipt of this notification. For more information, see Creation of Freight Documents.
3.
The bills of
lading are automatically printed in accordance with the CMR or VICS standards.
You determine which type of bill of lading is printed in printer and form
determination. For more information about printing, see 
Post Processing
Framework.
§ You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SCTM/EX_BOM to change the criteria by which final shipments are grouped during the automatic creation of bills of lading. By default, the system groups the shipments by ship-from party and ship-to party.
§ To create bills of lading, you have the following alternative options:
· In the transaction Maintain Freight Document (/SCTM/FRD), you can trigger the automatic creation of bills of lading using the Create Bill(s) of Lading pushbutton.
· In the transaction Maintain Shipment (/SCTM/SHP), you can create bills of lading manually and assign final shipments to them which, for example, share the same route or ship-to party. You can also create new bill of lading items. You can then manually set the status Shipment Completed for these bills of lading.
