Business Context and Use
You execute the transportation activities for inbound deliveries in an external transportation management system (TMS) as part of a customer returns process or a procure-to-pay process, for example. You can send an inbound delivery to an external TMS using the Request Transportation Request operation, which requests the creation of a transportation request of the category delivery-based transportation requirement (DTR) in the external TMS.
Related Operations
In a customer returns process or a procure-to-pay process, an external TMS can also be used to plan transportation activities and create optimized delivery proposals. For more information, see Request Transportation Request operation ( Customer Return business object) and Request Transportation Request operation ( Purchase Order business object).
In addition, you can use the following operations:
To request the cancellation of a DTR, you can use the Request Transportation Request Cancellation operation.
To execute transportation activities for an outbound delivery in an external TMS, you can use the Request Transportation Request operation ( Outbound Delivery business object)
Features
The Request Transportation Request operation is triggered when a delivery is created or changed. When a delivery is created, it sends the delivery to the external TMS and requests the creation of a transportation request of the category delivery-based transportation requirement (DTR). When a delivery is changed, it sends the entire delivery again and requests the update of the corresponding DTR. (There is a one-to-one relationship between a delivery in SAP ERP and a DTR in an external TMS.) When the external TMS receives a delivery, it creates or changes the DTR and executes the transportation activities for the delivery.
For more information about the data sent by this operation, see Data in a Request Transportation Request .
Error Handling
If errors occur during message output, they are written to the relevant processing log (for example, to the message log for errors that occur during NAST processing and to the SXMB_MONI technical monitor for errors related to XML processing).
Each time an order is retransmitted to an external TMS (for example, because delivery quantities have changed), the operation requests the update of an existing delivery-based transportation request. If the external TMS cannot identify the corresponding DTR, appropriate error handling measures have to be carried out in the external TMS.

Constraints
Note that although this operation is a request operation, it does not have a corresponding confirmation operation. A request operation has been used to reflect the fact that the operation requests the creation or change of a DTR in the receiving system.
