SAP TM connects what was sold or bought to the trucks, containers and invoices that move it. We design, implement and modernise transportation management, embedded in S/4HANA or as a separate instance.
Select a step to see what happens there and which modules are involved. This is the flow we design, test and support.
Demand
Freight unit building rules split or combine requirement items into freight units: the smallest units the planner moves. Rules consider things like incoterms, weight, volume and dangerous goods.
Modules involved: TM
Both are valid. The choice depends on how many ERP systems feed transportation and where you are in your S/4HANA journey.
Most TM issues are integration issues. These are the connections we test end to end.
For companies moving from ECC shipment processing (LE-TRA) or an older TM release.
Yes. A separate TM instance can connect to ECC while the ERP migration happens, then be consolidated later. It adds integration work, so it is a decision to make with both programmes in view.
Rarely. Optimisation depends on accurate master data for lanes, zones, resources and constraints. Many companies go live with cockpit-based planning and switch on optimisation once the data proves reliable.
Usually procurement or logistics, not IT. We agree ownership during design so rates are maintained by the people who negotiate them.
Whether you're replacing LE-TRA shipments or extending an existing TM system, we'll talk it through with you.
