Transportation Planning with SAP SCM

With SAP SCM TP/VS (Transportation Planning / Vehicle Scheduling), you

can explicitly plan, optimize and perform all transportation planning between

organizations. The fundamentalsof planning are sales(sales orders, purchase

orders, returns or stock transfer orders) anddeliveriesthat youcreated inSAP

ECCandtransferredtoSAPSCMovertheSAPAPOCoreInterface(CIF).The

resultof TP/VS Planningareplannedshipmentsthatyoutransferto SAPECC

Features

Interactive Planning

You use interactive planning to plan and edit manual shipments for your

sales and deliveries. The planning view with various planning boards is

available for interactive planning.

Optimization

You canoptimizetheplanning of shipmentsbasedupon costs, aswell as

determineoptimal deliverysequencesandtransportationdatesandtimes.

Constraints(suchasloadingcapacity,loadingresources,incompatibilities)

are taken into consideration. You can start optimization from interactive

Figure 29: Tendering via Freight Exchange

Freight exchanges enable their members (who include both shippers and

forwarding agents) to match shippers who need transportation services with

forwardingagentswhoprovidetransportationservices.

The shipper and forwarding agent exchange information related to the

transportationrequirements,shippingconditionsandprices.

Whentheshipment iscompleted, thefreight exchangeissuesaninvoicetothe

shipper and pays the forwarding agent.

Generally, transportation plannersuse the freight exchange servicefor smaller

(Less than truck load/partial load) shipments in an environment in which the

forwardingagentsareseekingsmallershipmentstocompleteaload.

Inthesecases,theforwardingagentwillbemoreinclinedtoperformtheservice

at a lower price.

When the shipment is tendered to the freight exchange, the shipper specifies

themaximumpriceandatime. Acarriercanrespondwithanofferthat canbe

accepted or rejected by the shipper.

The freight exchange tendering process is performed via the Internet with the

use of XML documents.

This method of determining stages is highly recommended for recurring

operations. It considerably reduces the amount of manual maintenance of the

stages.

Route Determination

Figure 34: Automatic Leg Determination

The system provides several automatic leg determination procedures. There

are currently 6 different procedures in the standard system. You control leg

determination using a leg determination indicator , which is defined for the

shipment type.

Example:

Leg determination indicator 1: Legs determined according to departure point

and itinerary.

Thegoodsaresequentiallypickedupattheshippingpoints(pick-upsequence)

andthensequentiallydeliveredtotheship-toparties(itinerary).

The system determines theroute for each order item. The following criteria

play a role in this:

• The shipping condition from the customer (from the customer master of

the sold-to party)

• Thetransportationgroupofthematerial(fromthematerialmaster)

Deadlines

Figure 41: Deadlines in the Shipment Document

You can record the times and deadlines for planning and executing the

transportation activities intheshipment document.

You can record planned and actual deadlines for standard activities such as

planning, check-in, loading,processing, shipmentstartandshipmentendinthe

shipment document at the header level. You can also specify exact times for

the deadlines.

You can also define planned and actual start and end datesfor each shipment

stage.

Similar to Shipping, you can specify additional individual deadlines that are

usedforfurthercontrollingshipmentprocesses. Inadditiontoplannedandactual

Copying Control

Figure 42: Copying Delivery Dates to the Shipment

You can have the system proposeplanned deadlinesfor individual shipment

activities in the shipment. You can copy them from the outbound deliveries

belonging to the shipment.

Inthestandardproposal(copyroutine“8”),thefollowingruleappliesforcopying

deadlines:

Outbound Delivery Shipment

Earliest load deadline Check-in

Earliest load deadline Loading start

LastplannedGI deadline Loading end

LastplannedGI deadline Shipment completion

LastplannedGI deadline Shipment start

Last delivery date Shipment end

You can create other ways of adopting deadlines by writing your own copy

routinesand storingthem in the shipment type.

Hint: Asopposedto“normal”copyingcontrol,thecopyingroutinefor

theshipmentdocumentisexecutedonlyafterthe“Planned”statushas

been set.
