You can use this process to send freight orders directly to a subcontractor without first having performed tendering. The following section contains a description of an example process:

Prerequisites

  • You have configured your sending system, for example, SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM).

  • You have configured your receiving system, for example, SAP TM.

  • You have configured your XI system, for example, SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI).

  • Freight orders exist.

Process

  1. If, on the user interface for freight orders, you choose Subcontract and then Send to Forwarding Agent, the sending system, for example, SAP TM, sends the freight orders with the message TransportationOrderRequest_Out to your subcontractors.

  2. The receiving system, for example, SAP TM, receives the freight orders as forwarding orders via the message TransportationRequestRequest_In.

  3. The receiving system confirms the freight orders via the message TransportationRequestConfirmation_Out. By means of the confirmation, the subcontractor either accepts the freight order (possibly with changes) or rejects the freight order.

  4. The sending system receives the confirmation via the message TransportationOrderConfirmation_In.

  5. The sending system can cancel the freight order via the message TransportationOrderCancellation_Out.

Note Note

  • The messages named above can also be used for direct tendering.

  • You can then also send freight orders to your subcontractors directly in direct tendering. Or the system sends your freight orders resulting from a freight request-based tendering automatically to your subcontractors.

End of the note.
