If a user changes the data in an order in SAP ERP (for example, quantities, dates and locations can be changed), SAP ERP sends these changes to SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) and the corresponding order-based transportation requirement is updated.

If an order is deleted in SAP ERP, the corresponding order-based transportation requirement is canceled in SAP TM.

Process

Update of an Order

The following figure shows the process flow when an order is changed in SAP ERP, and is followed by a description:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

In the above figure, the abbreviation TRSR means TransportationRequestSUITERequest.

The process runs as follows:

  1. Change order (SAP ERP)

    If changes are made to an order in SAP ERP, an update is sent to SAP TM

  2. Update order–based transportation requirement (SAP TM)

    In SAP TM, the corresponding order-based transportation requirement is updated. If the quantity has changed, the open quantity (and, if affected by this, the consumption status) is adjusted accordingly.

  3. Adapt freight units (SAP TM)

    SAP TM updates the freight units according to the assigned freight unit building rule. If a delivery has already been created (and thus, the freight units have already been reassigned to the delivery-based transportation requirement), SAP TM creates new freight units in case of a quantity increase to cover the resulting open quantity of the order-based transportation requirement. Note that the delivery-based transportation requirement and its freight units are not affected by the updated order.

  4. Determine and apply strategies (SAP TM)

    The change controller uses strategies to adapt subsequent documents.

Deletion of an Order

The following figure shows the process flow when an order is deleted in SAP ERP, and is followed by a description:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

In the above figure, the abbreviation TRSCR means TransportationRequestSUITECancellationRequest.

The process runs as follows:

  1. Delete order (SAP ERP)

    SAP ERP sends a request to cancel the order-based transportation requirement in SAP TM. Note that if a delivery has already been created in SAP ERP, the order cannot be deleted in SAP ERP

  2. Cancel order-based transportation requirement (SAP TM)

    In SAP TM, the corresponding order-based transportation requirement is canceled.

  3. Adapt freight units

    If the freight unit was only relevant for the canceled order-based transportation requirement, the freight unit becomes empty. If the freight unit was assigned to multiple order-based transportation requirements, the quantity in the freight unit is reduced according to the canceled order-based transportation requirement.

  4. Delete or cancel freight units (SAP TM)

    If the freight unit is empty, SAP TM either deletes or cancels the freight unit according to your settings for the freight unit type.
