Business Context and Use

The Transportation Order Execution Out outbound service interface groups operations that send freight document data to a logistics execution system for further processing.

Notes on SAP Implementation

Integration

The operations in this interface and the corresponding inbound service interface Transportation Order Execution In can exchange data with IDocs in SAP ERP. This enables you to exchange data between the Freight Order Management (TM-FRM) component in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) and the Logistics Execution - Transportation (LE-TRA) component in SAP ERP.

Note the following:

  • A delivery-based transportation requirement in the SAP TM back-end system corresponds to an instance of a Transportation Request business object.

  • A freight document in the SAP TM back-end system corresponds to an instance of a Transportation Order business object.

Configuration

You have made the following message control settings in the SAP TM system:

  • You have defined schedule conditions and one or more suitable output profiles that control whether a message is sent. You do this in Customizing for Cross-Application Components under   Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications   Reusable Objects and Functions for BOPF Environment   PPF Adapter for Output Management   Maintain PPF Settings  .

  • You have assigned a suitable output profile to the relevant freight document types.

    You define freight order types in Customizing for Transportation Management under   Transportation Management   Freight Order Management   Freight Order   Define Freight Order Types  .

    You define freight booking types in Customizing for Transportation Management under   Freight Order Management   Freight Booking   Define Freight Booking Types  .

  • You have defined a logical system that represents the client from which the outbound communication is to take place, and you have assigned a queue of the type Outbound Queues to this logical system. You do this in Customizing for SCM Basis under   Integration   Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape   Assign Logical System and Queue Type  . The logical system must be marked as an SAP system. Also check the settings in the following Customizing activities: Name Logical Systems, Assign Logical Systems to a Client, Maintain Business System Group, and Settings for qRFC Communication.
