Function documentationMonitoring of Delivery Creation Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

When you send a delivery proposal to SAP ERP, the SAP TM system sets a send timestamp in the freight units to which the delivery proposal relates. When SAP ERP sends a confirmation of delivery creation, the SAP TM system sets a confirmation timestamp in the freight units. If delivery creation is successful, SAP ERP also sends a request to create a delivery-based transportation requirement (DTR), and the SAP TM system reassigns the freight units from the order-based transportation requirement (OTR) to the DTR.

To monitor the delivery creation process, SAP TM checks whether freight units contain a confirmation timestamp and whether they have been reassigned from an OTR to a DTR.

Features

SAP TM provides the following worklists for monitoring the delivery creation process:

  • Order-Based: Message Processing Incomplete

    This worklist contains all freight units with the following attributes:

    • They contain a send timestamp.

    • They do not contain a confirmation timestamp, that is, SAP ERP has not responded yet.

    • They are still related to an order-based transportation requirement.

    Since SAP ERP has not responded yet, you cannot repeat the delivery proposal process for these freight units.

    In this case, the messages used to exchange information between SAP TM and SAP ERP might still be in a message queue. You can use transaction SXMB_MONI to check the status of the messages and, if necessary, retrigger them.

  • Order-Based: Delivery Creation Failed

    This worklist contains all freight units with the following attributes:

    • They contain a send timestamp.

    • They contain a confirmation timestamp, that is, SAP ERP has already responded.

    • They are still related to an order-based transportation requirement, that is, the system has not reassigned the freight units from an OTR to a DTR.

    In this case, SAP ERP was unable to create the deliveries and, as a result, did not request the creation of a DTR.

    To find out why delivery creation failed, you can branch from the worklist to the business application log entries for a freight unit. If there were problems during delivery creation, SAP ERP sends a log item that contains the reason why particular deliveries could not be created, for example. After checking why delivery creation failed, you can repeat the delivery proposal process directly from the worklist.
