What is SAP Transportation Management (TM)?

SAP TM is an enterprise solution that helps plan, execute, handle, and track transportation procedures. Companies that need enhanced transportation capabilities (involving coordination of multiple carriers, locations, transportation modes, and partners) can benefit from SAP TM.

The module can be used independently from SAP S/4HANA or integrated with other solutions within the SAP ecosystem, such as SAP EWM and SAP Business Network, that cover other business processes across the supply chain.

How are SAP TM and SAP EWM different?

SAP TM is used for planning, scheduling, tracking, and resolving transportation-related tasks (routing, carrier selection, freight costs, and shipments). SAP EWM, however, is used to manage warehouse activities, including receiving, storing, picking, packing, and product releases. When connected, SAP TM and SAP EWM can offer improved visibility and synchronization of transportation and warehouse processes.

How does SAP TM integrate with SAP S/4HANA in embedded and decentralized scenarios?

In an embedded scenario, SAP TM is executed on the SAP S/4HANA with a shared system and database. This scenario allows for seamless integration with appropriate business activities. In a decentralized configuration, SAP TM runs as a separate system and connects to SAP S/4HANA via pre-configured interfaces. You can choose a suitable method based on the system landscape, transportation complexity, scalability, and integration architecture.

How does SAP TM handle multimodal and intermodal transportation?

SAP TM supports different transportation scenarios that involve shipments' movement through multiple stages and modes (such as road, rail, ocean, and air). Within an integrated transportation process, companies can schedule transportation legs, coordinate transitions between modes and carriers, book transportation, calculate transportation costs, and track transportation execution. This way, it becomes easier for organizations to control complex, end-to-end routes rather than planning each mode individually.
