Before you start working with SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM), we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following important information.

Calling SAP TM

SAP TM harmonizes all transportation applications in one Web-based solution that is integrated in a business client shell.

You call SAP TM using a SAP NetWeaver Business Client that is connected to an ABAP client. For more information about SAP NetWeaver Business Client and the ABAP client, see SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nw. In SAP Library, choose   Function-Oriented View   UI Technologies in SAP NetWeaver   User Interface Clients   SAP NetWeaver Business Client  .

FPM BOPF Integration (FBI) offers configurable and codeless integration of Floor Plan Manager (FPM) technology and BOPF-based business objects (BOPF = Business Objects Processing Framework). For more information, see Reusable Objects and Functions for the BOPF Environment (CA-EPT-BRC).

Note Note

If you want to use applications from SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse or SAP Event Management in SAP NetWeaver Business Client, you need to set up a role in role maintenance. To do so, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose   Tools   Administration   User Maintenance   Role Administration   Roles  .

On the Menu tab page of this new role, you need to create an additional object by choosing Other. Choose Web address or file as the URL type and enter the fixed URL of your application. Moreover, you need to add your user on the User tab page of the new role.

If you change your role, you need to delete the cache in Internet Explorer by choosing   Tools   Internet Options  . On the General tab page, choose Delete... and then delete the relevant cookies and files.

End of the note.
