Integrating SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP) and SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) improves shipment planning and execution. Orders and deliveries from SAP ERP are sent to SAP TM as transportation requests. This method allows for a prompt response to modifications in orders and delivery procedures.

With the integration of SAP ERP and SAP TM, you can:

Efficiently plan transportation for different types of orders.
Forecast resource and transportation needs by planning shipments before creating delivery orders.
Conduct tenders, establish subcontracts, and carry out transportation operations.
Create delivery orders based on transportation planning results, considering available resources and transportation duration.

Flexible planning

SAP TM enables transportation planning based on data from SAP ERP and the return of freight orders to SAP ERP for execution. This flexibility helps you to adapt to changes in transportation and logistics.

Easy booking

The integration enables transportation booking in SAP TM using data from SAP ERP, which is subsequently transferred back to SAP ERP for additional processing.

Collaboration with SAP EWM

Freight data from SAP ERP can be transferred to SAP EWM to execute and plan warehouse operations, enhancing the coordination between transportation and storage.

Tender optimization

When launching tenders in SAP TM, freight data from SAP ERP helps determine eligible carriers for delivery, making selection easier and cutting down on tender time.

Generating delivery quotes

Based on the transportation needs, SAP TM helps create delivery quotes. It then sends this information to SAP ERP to automatically create transportation orders.

Flexibility in delivery management

Transferring incoming and outgoing deliveries from SAP ERP to SAP TM increases flexibility in managing them and eliminates information shortages.

Synchronous planning

The integration allows for the simultaneous creation of sales orders in SAP ERP and transportation planning in SAP TM.

Hazardous materials handling

SAP TM accounts for information on hazardous materials and helps ensure their safe transport in compliance with regulations and standards.

Fast data exchange

Order and delivery data is quickly exchanged between SAP TM and SAP ERP through corporate services, keeping the information up-to-date.
