Business Context and Use

A customer uses RFQ-based tendering to determine which carrier is to execute a particular freight order. When the customer sends a freight request for quotation to a carrier, the carrier either accepts it by submitting a quotation, or rejects it.

The Confirm Transportation Request Quotation outbound operation sends a confirmation to a customer. The confirmation either contains a forwarding quotation or the reason for rejecting the RFQ.

Related Operations

The corresponding Change Transportation Order Based on Transportation Order Quotation Confirmation outbound operation in the Transportation Order Processing  process component can receive the confirmation sent by the Confirm Transportation Request Quotation outbound operation.

Features

The Confirm Transportation Request Quotation outbound operation can send the following data to the receiving system, for example:

  • If a carrier rejects a freight request for quotation, the operation sends the rejection reason.

  • If a carrier accepts a freight request for quotation, the operation sends the ID of the forwarding quotation and a quotation price, for example.

Message Types

  • Transportation Request Quotation Confirmation

Prerequisites

The Create Transportation Request Quotation  inbound operation has created a forwarding request for quotation based on a freight request for quotation received from a customer.

Notes on SAP Implementation

Integration

The Confirm Transportation Request Quotation outbound operation is triggered in the SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) back-end system when a carrier either submits a forwarding quotation or rejects an RFQ.

Configuration

For more information, see the documentation of the Transportation Quotation Requesting Out  outbound interface.

Prerequisites

The forwarding quotation must fulfill all schedule conditions that are checked at runtime. You define schedule conditions in Customizing for Cross-Application Components . For more information, see the documentation of the Transportation Quotation Requesting Out  outbound service interface.

Versioning

Note that in SAP TM 1.0, the Confirm Transportation Request Quotation outbound operation and the Change Transportation Order Based on Transportation Order Quotation Confirmation inbound operation shared a common message data type: TransportationDocumentQuotationConfirmationMessage. As of SAP TM 1.01, however, these operations use different message data types that are similar in structure, but not identical. The inbound operation continues to use message data type TransportationDocumentQuotationConfirmationMessage, whereas the outbound operation now uses a separate message data type TransportationRequestQuotationConfirmationMessage. As a consequence, a mapping between these message data types is required.

Enhancements

The BAdI for TransportationRequestQuotationConfirmation_Out (/SCMTMS/TRQ_SE_TPNRQQ_CNF) Business Add-In (BAdI) is available for this operation.
