Integration

You can navigate from the freight booking in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) directly to the freight booking in SAP TM.

For more information about the integration of transit warehousing in SAP EWM and SAP TM, see Integration of Transit Warehousing with SAP TM.

You can navigate from the freight booking to any corresponding freight orders that exist in SAP EWM.

Features

Searching and Monitoring

  • You can search for freight booking in the Prepare Loading or Unloading screen.

    You can navigate from this screen to the individual freight booking.

  • You can monitor the status of all the freight bookings that meet your search criteria.

    For example, you can search for all of the freight bookings in a date range, and see the status of each freight booking in the results list.

  • You can monitor the process of single freight bookings with the progress indicators.

  • In each freight booking, you can see the HU containers and TU containers that were planned for that freight booking in SAP TM.

  • You can see the TUs that are already planned in the freight orders.

Preparation for Unloading

  • You can unload HUs from HU containers that have been received into the warehouse

    You can indicate that the unloading is completed for these HU containers.

    Note that you cannot receive HUs from TU containers in the Unloading Preparation screen. HUs that arrive in TU containers must be received individually in the Process Single Freight Order screen.

  • If more HUs than you are expecting arrive in a HU container, you can create new HUs in the system and receive them.

  • If fewer HUs than you are expecting arrive in a HU container, you can mark a HU in the system as lost. The system sends this information to SAP TM when you set the status of the HU container to Unloading Completed.

  • You can assign doors to expected TU containers.

  • You can set the statuses Arrived at Door and Departed from Door.

  • You can indicate that the contents of a TU container or a TU can be unloaded or are not to be unloaded.

    This block can also be set in SAP TM. You can override the SAP TM block in the Unloading Preparation screen.

Preparation for Loading

  • You can create the TU containers and HU containers for the freight booking.

  • You can create warehouse tasks to move the transit HUs to a work center or staging area, where they are to be loaded.

  • You can load transit HUs into HU containers or TU containers.

    You can indicate that loading of the HU container or TU container is complete.

  • You can assign doors to TU containers.

  • You can set the statuses Arrived at Door and Departed from Door.

  • You can print the HU labels for the HUs.
