Routing Guide Extension Issue

March 16, 2016, 12:11 pm
$
0
0

Dear Friends,

 

We are using Routing Guide Extension (RGX) in sales orders. Earlier we were using Route Determination based on the following parameters.

1. Departure zone or country of the delivering plant.

2. Destination zone or country of the Ship to Party.

3. Shipping condition from the customer master.

4. Transportation group from the material master.

5. Weight Group.


Now we have created Condition records using SAPRGX/VK11. But in the Sales order Route is not determined based on the condition records. It is determining based on the above parameters.


Please let us know have I missed any configuration or we have to do any specific setting to determine route based on the condition records. Is there any route determination analysis in the sales order.


with regards,


Dayanand

Using Alpha characters in Freight Order Numbers

April 26, 2016, 6:17 am

So most of use know the standard numbering for freight orders using the 61XXXXXX series (example:  610029467).

 

We have been asked by our developers to consider using apha characters in the freight order ID - something like 61XYZNNNNN where N is a number (example:  61XYZ29467).  Has to do with some complications with our EWM interface in a direct load scenario (long story here, EWM initiates the load, sends the TOR / freight order # to TM, TM records the freight order after-the-fact).

 

My gut reaction is that this change introduces unnecessary risk on the TM side as there are a lot of unknowns.    Will TM behave "normally" with a freight order 61XYX29467?  Will carriers be able to process and accept a tender this way?  Will the EDI / VAN networks be able to accept orders with alpha characters? How will the Collaboration Portal behave?  Any issues with settlement on the ECC side?  How much will users be inconvenienced using POWL's that may not sort "high to low" in the conventional fashion?  Etc. Etc.

 

Has anyone ever tried this?

 

I've been in the SAP space a long time and I do not ever recall trying to use alpha characters on transaction records.  Master data, sure (materials, cost centers....).  But not transactions.

 

Thanks in advance!

Identify changes from TRQ vs system changes

Hi all,

 

Our customer wants to manage order changes in TM: when a planned FU is changed (date change, quantity change, etc), an indicator will be marked.

To do so, we would like to use the Change Controller settings.

 

But the difficulty is managing changes coming from the TRQ vs system changes.

For example, when a delivery is created, the DTR is created and the FU is updated with dates/times from the delivery: we don't want that to trigger the indicator.

 

Do you have any suggestions/recommendations on identifying changes from a TRQ vs system changes vs delivery creation?

 

Thanks in advance.

Different Set of Events in Freight Order and Freight Booking

Hi Experts,

 

I'm new to TM and currently struggeling with a issue.

 

The requirement is that there should be a different set of execution infos in the execution tab for freight orders (land transport) and freight booking (sea transport). Every time I create a freight order or a freight booking, the same set of events appear in the execution tab for both documents. What are the steps to fulfill the requirement that different events appear in the execution tabs of FO's/FB's?

 

Thanks to every hint

TM Portal - creating default personalization

May 2, 2016, 11:00 pm
$
0

Dear Readers,

 

In this blog, I would like to provide information about the how An Administrator can personalise TM Portal so that the first time Portal users can see the default personalization set by him.With this Admin can hide the unwanted columns on different screens and also make default setting for the portal users. Please note that the portal users can always change the personalization as per their needs.

 

As a pre-requisite, you should implement the note 2186138 or implement the relevant Support Pack Level and refer to the attachments of the note for more detailed pre-requisites.

 

There are 2 options to achieve the default personalization:


Option 1: Change directly in production:


If you want to change the default settings directly in production then you need to have the required Admin Roles and also open the client (SCC4) to save the personalization. This option might not be feasible every time.

 

Option 2: Change the default settings in Development system & transport:

 

With this option you can change the setting and personalization in the development system and transport the personalization to further systems. You should have the Portal Admin authorization to do this change (Refer to the note 2186138 for more detailed pre-requisite). Please follow the below steps for option 2:

 

1. Create a Transport (Customizing) Request and assign to the admin user. Lets say the TR # TMS9999.

 

2. After this you need to go to SU01 or SU3 to change the user parameter. Then add the user parameter /UI2/WD_TRKORR_CUST and specify the TR number (TMS9999) in the parameter value.


User_Parameter.jpg

3. After this, with admin user can login to the portal and change the settings and hide/unhide the columns. After you completed the personalization, then you will find the tasks created in the TR (TMS9999).

 

TR_details.JPG

 

4. You can transport this TR to further systems

 

Please note that if you have separate systems for Portal and TM Back end then the above steps needs to be done on the Portal system.

How to setup business partners for the TM collaboration portal

May 6, 2016, 1:17 am

Hi,

 

ever wondered how to properly setup business partners to be used for the SAP TM collaboration portal? Here we go...

 

If you as a shipper or LSP want to collaborate with a carrier A through the SAP TM collaboration portal, you need to have two business partners created in your TM back-end system:

 

  1. BP with role "Carrier", say "Carrier A"
  2. BP with roles
    • "Contact Person", say "Contact Person X"
    • "Internet User"

 

Between "Carrier A" and "Contact Person X", you need to also specify BP relationship "Has Contact Person/Is Contact Person For".

 

Then you need to create a Dialog User in SU01 for "Contact Person X" - this is the user with which the contact person at carrier side will finally log on the SAP TM collaboration portal. This needs to have the appropriate roles and authorizations (see https://scn.sap.com/people/jan.rumig/blog/2015/08/14/how-to-define-authorizations). Once this is setup, this SU01 user has to be maintained on the "Internet User" tab in business partner maintenance for "Contact Person X".

 

If there are multiple contact persons working for carrier A, additional SU01 have to be created and additional contact persons created in BP maintenance accordingly.

 

So finally, whenever this carrier A is assigned to a business document in TM, e.g. to a freight order, and this document fulfills the respective requirements to be displayed in the SAP TM collaboration portal (e.g. showing proper status values, etc.) then all contact persons maintained for this carrier as described above can access this document once they have logged on to the SAP TM collaboration portal.

 

This also means that if "Contact Person X" is not only contact person for "Carrier A", but also for "Carrier B", this contact person would see all documents of "Carrier A" and "Carrier B" in the SAP TM collaboration portal.

 

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Sabine

Troubleshooting: Carrier does not see the expected documents in the SAP TM collaboration portal

Hi,

 

if a carrier logs on to the SAP TM collaboration portal and either does not see any content at all, or not the expected content, this may have one of the following root causes:

 

  1. If no content is displayed at all, or even an error message, the required Gateway services may not have been setup properly. Read this post for more information: https://scn.sap.com/people/jan.rumig/blog/2015/08/14/how-to-setup-of-the-gateway-services
  2. If the work centers are displayed, but not the expected documents, the following should be checked:

 

If all of the above criteria is met, carriers should be able to find their respective documents in the SAP TM collaboration portal.

Cheers,
Sabine

Hello Team,

 

Is there any possibility to create one time BP and later on use it in FB ?

We have a scenario where contact person of a LSP changes frequently and it is not fixed. Email is sent to that contact person.

We thought to use concept called one time BP in TM like we have in ECC ( one time customer or one time vendor).

Any proposal is welcome.

Blog on Strategic Freight Management from a Shippers LSPs Perspective

May 12, 2016, 2:52 am

Transportation cost control has been under intense pressure in recent years. Upward pricing drivers have included lengthening supply chains due to globalization, customers demanding faster and more frequent deliveries, carrier capacity challenges, stricter accessorial enforcement by carriers, and fuel surcharge gyrations.

 

Why Strategic Freight Procurement is a New Focus?

 

Rising freight costs are clearly the top pressure driving companies’ renewed focus on transportation procurement and payment. Companies realize they need to institute better spending control to ensure their purchasing volume leverage is being maximized and that shipments consistently follow corporate rules on using low-cost/best value carriers or service options.

 

However, cost is not the only factor on procurement and logistics professionals’ minds. Growing recognition of the critical role transportation flexibility and reliability play in overall supply chain performance is causing companies to re-examine their spend management processes. Increasing supply chain complexity caused by more manufacturing outsourcing and globalization is also making many companies’ traditional transportation procurement practices outdated.

 

The Challenges faced by the Shipper/LSP traditional process:

The Traditional process is manual and mainly done using Excel. SAP Strategic Freight helps to reduce high volume data and optimizing the procurement process.

 

 

What is SAP TM Strategic Freight Procurement?

 

SAP software for freight procurement helps you set expectations for upcoming transportation expenditures according to individual business units which varies depending on the shipping locations and trade lanes.

 

Also because your relationships with partners such as carriers change as your supply chain evolves, you may want to renegotiate existing contracts to include new business while changing the way you allocate shipment volumes among your LSPs/ carriers.

 

 

SAP software (from SAP TM 9.1) supports your entire strategic freight procurement operations by:

* Simplify contract negotiation processes.
* Preparing bids, proposals, and responses, and award and manage contracts/ long term Agreements.
* Efficiently managing contract negotiations by evaluating freight procurement expenditures – for example, annually or semi-annually.
* Can be employed with the strategic freight management function by itself or in conjunction with integrated logistics processes.
* SFP is a cycle of mutually work between shipper/ LSP and carrier.

New notes to optimize the performance of the event processing in SAP TM

May 18, 2016, 1:47 pm

Recently some notes have been released to optimize the performance of the event processing (execution information processing) and the event propagation:

 

  • 2297480: Performance improvement for processing execution information
  • 2290597: Performance optimization in event propagation
  • 2305405: Performance improvement for setting status on item and stop levels
  • 2311083: Unnecessary update of follow up documents in case of irrelevant freight unit changes
  • 2312704: Minor performance optimizations in event propagation between freight documents

 

The notes are available for SAP TM 9.1 and later releases.

 

In addition, a new feature is available in SAP EM to potentially reduce the number of processes needed in SAP TM to process events significantly. For scenarios in which event messages are processed in a mass enabled way in SAP EM and therefore multiple event messages have to propagated to SAP TM in one LUW this document should be definitely be checked: Post Processing Activity to boost performance of EM - TM integration

Hello Experts,

 

I am implementing TM 9.3 and we don't have PI in our landscape. I have configured ECC and TM with web service configuration for consumer proxy - SLO_TransportationRequestSUITERequest_Out  using tx - SOAMANAGER and configured ECC to launch output TRS0 successfully. But sales order message didn't transferred to TM, when I see TRS0 output processing log I got below message

 

--

Could not find business system

Message No. LCR002

Diagnosis

The system could not find a business system identification for the current client 300 in the system ED1 in the Landscape Directory.

 

Procedure

Check that the data for the client is correctly maintained in the Landscape Directory. The client must be an instance of class SAP_BCClient. Using an association of type SAP_BusinessSystemViewedBCClient, an instance of class SAP_BusinessSystem must be assigned to the client.

--

 

Is there anything I missed here?

 

How to tie TRS0 output to use web service proxy interface SLO_TransportationRequestSUITERequest_Out for sales order transfer?

 

Thanks,

Venu
