Process documentationProcessing Changed, Deleted, or Split Deliveries from ERP Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If a delivery is changed, split, or deleted in SAP ERP, this information is sent to SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM). SAP TM adjusts the corresponding delivery-based transportation requirement based on this information.

Note that changes or splits can originate in SAP ERP or in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) application. Changes or splits in SAP EWM are always transferred to SAP TM via SAP ERP.

The following sections describe how SAP TM handles these changes.

Process

Update of a Delivery

The following figure shows the process for updating a delivery in SAP ERP after delivery creation and is followed by a description.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Update of Delivery in SAP ERP

In the above figure, the abbreviation TRSR means TransportationRequestSUITERequest.

The process runs as follows:

  1. Update delivery (SAP ERP)

    ERP sends a changed delivery to SAP TM.

  2. Update delivery-based transportation requirement (SAP TM)

    In SAP TM, the corresponding delivery-based transportation requirement is updated.

  3. Adapt freight units (SAP TM)

    The change controller adjusts the freight units according to the changes in the delivery-based transportation requirement.

    If the quantity of the delivery-based transportation requirement has changed and the delivery-based transportation requirement is assigned to freight units that were consumed from an order-based transportation requirement, the change controller processes the freight units as follows:

    • If the quantity of the delivery-based transportation requirement has decreased, the open quantity of the corresponding order-based transportation requirements is increased accordingly; and the freight units of the delivery-based transportation requirement are split. Freight units are retained by the delivery-based transportation requirement to cover the reduced quantity of the delivery-based transportation requirement, and the remaining freight units are assigned to the corresponding order-based transportation requirement.

    • If the quantity of the delivery-based transportation requirement has increased, and there are still open quantities in the corresponding order-based transportation requirement, the system reassigns the freight units from the order-based transportation requirement to cover this increased delivery quantity. The system then reduces the open quantity of the order-based transportation requirements.

Deletion of a Delivery

The following figure shows the process for deleting a delivery in SAP ERP after delivery creation and is followed by a description:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Deletion of Delivery in SAP ERP

In the above figure, the abbreviation TRSCR means TransportationRequestSUITECancellationRequest.

The process runs as follows:

  1. Delete delivery (SAP ERP)

    ERP sends a request to cancel the delivery-based transportation requirement.

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

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

  3. Reassign freight units to order-based transportation requirement (SAP TM)

    If a corresponding order-based transportation requirement exists, the freight units are reassigned to this order-based transportation requirement.

    Note Note

    If the process runs without order integration (that is, no order-based transportation requirement exists), the freight units are adapted and, if necessary, are canceled or deleted depending on your settings for the freight unit type.

    End of the note.
