Process documentationExternal Communication in Overland Transportation

 

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

Prerequisites

  • You have configured your sending system, that is SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM).

  • The carrier has configured its 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 you choose Subcontracting and then Send to Carrier on the user interface for freight orders, the sending system, for example SAP TM, sends the freight orders with the service operation TransportationOrderRequest_Out to your carrier.

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

  3. The receiving system confirms the freight orders via the service operation TransportationRequestConfirmation_Out. The carrier uses the confirmation to either accept the freight order (possibly with changes) or reject the freight order.

  4. The sending system receives the confirmation via the service operation TransportationOrderConfirmation_In.

  5. The sending system can cancel the freight order via the service operation TransportationOrderCancellationRequest_Out.

Note Note

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

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

  • The Communication History tab page in the freight order provides an overview of all outbound and inbound messages relating to the freight order. For more information, see Freight Order.

End of the note.
