Delete Reported Event in Freight Order

Intercompany scenario
Dear SAP Gurus,
I have been asked to set up two company codes in our SAP TM server, both companies belong to the same corporation. The realtionship between them is as follows:
Company Code A
- Buys raw material from vendors located out of the country
- Manufacture products
- Plans the transportation requirements (generated from PO and SO) and generates Freight Orders
- Follows the execution of this FO
- Settles this FO in order to pay the freight to its logistics provider.
- The logistic provider is Company Code B
Company Code B
- Takes care of the transportation requirements of Company Code A and some other customers
- Finds carriers and assigns them to the FO / FWO
- Bills the service to Customer
- Pays to carriers
I want to solve this "intercompany" scenario in which
Company Code A generates Transportation Requirements
Company Code B takes care of them
Company Code B bills to Company Code A
Company Code B pays to the Carrier/Customs Agent
Company Code A pays to Company Code B the logistics services (which is the cost of the services plus a surcharge)
I found one post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3764919) that suggests to create FWO out of POs and FO but it seems to solve only the first 4 points in the above list.
Has anyone of you gone thru the same scenario?
Any help will be appreciated

Using Alpha characters in Freight Order Numbers
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!

Multiple distance management
Hello,
We have a requirement for a same FO we have to manage charges calculation (distance x cost) for three differents charges with three differents distances.
e.g : Antwerp - Munchen - Truck
Base rate distance 200 km = 200 * 2€/km
Toll surcharge distance 80 km = 80 * 0,15/km
Maut surcharge distance 70 km = 70 * 0,20/KM
That SAP TM able to support this configuration, that I know only one distance per lane can be use. Straight lane distance is not relevant in this case.

One FO for each DTR
Dear Gurus,
Our client has a very specific requirement. They want a 1:1 relationship between Freight Order and DTR even if the vehicle has spare capacity and even if multiple DTRs are created with same Pick-up & Delivery locations with same Pick-up and Delivery dates for the same Customer. In other words, client does not want any consolidation of DTRs for creating Freight Orders during automatic planning by VSR optimizer. Could you please advise how this can be achieved during Optimizer based automatic planning by standards (without any enhancement)

Clipping method in Charge Calculation
Hello all
In Freight Order charge calculation, I am using clipping method for calculation. But for the particular line item for which clipping method is used, charges are not calculated. I have Means of Transport and Actual Distance as scale base in Rate Table.
I found that GET_SCALE_ITEMS of class /SCMTMS/CL_TCC_CALC_CLIPPING that is triggered while calculating charges says, clipping access is not possible for non-numeric scale base and displayes an error message. Is there any way to use clipping method for this sceanrio?
Please advice.

Restrict max records for POWL (FO Overview) for first time usage
Dear Experts,
We want to restrict the max number of records for POWL for "Freight Order Overview" query. When a new user runs the POWL FO Overview query then it loads all the Freight Orders which are more than 25K and it takes more than 20 mins.
Do we have a way to restrict the number of records for a POWL Query?
I tried using TX: POWL_QUERY & changing QUERY PARAMETER and transport to further systems but it did not work.
Can you please help me out?

Transit time on freight Order by carrier
Hello Experts,
We need to populate the transit time on the freight order based on the carrier info ( not from the MTR or lane ) . For example : To go from place A to place B - UPS takes 3 days whereas FedEx takes 2 days . This transit time is available to us from another server - Connectship that we access during planning of the freight order
We have tried using the BADI /SCMB/EX_DDD and /SCMB/EX_LDDD_DDD but the option of passing the carrier does not exist . Also we tried with creating a custom Distance duration determination strategy but this gets triggered before the carrier selection takes place and thus we are not able to get the transit time .
Can you please advise any way to update the Transit duration on the Freight Order ?
Thanks,
Saksham

WKS: Duration display format in TM
When looking at durations in TM UIs you typically see something like this, in thehhhh:mm format, so for example 64 hours look like this
This is ok for shorter durations, but when crossing the 100h it might be hard to read.
There is a user parameter SZN which can be used to change the format:
When set to 1 it will be displayed as ddd hh:mm, so the 64 hours are 2 days and 16 hours
When set to 2 it shows it in ddd,dd, so parts of a day, so in our example 2 days and 2/3 of a day... looks very special to me, so it´s more for the sake of completeness to mention it here...
When set to 3 it shows our default hhhhhh:mm format as shown at the beginning.
As a side note: On the database it is always stored as hhhhhh:mm:ss.

Calculation sheet changes at tender acceptance
Hello,
We came across a scenario where the calculation sheet got changed after the tender got accepted.
Here are the details of the scenario
We have a freight agreement with two calculation sheets. The charges are getting calculated with correct sheets.
Once a new freight order is created the agreement is picked up and the charges are also calculated based on the conditions maintained in the agreement.
Let's say there are calculation sheet 1 and 2. for simplicity sheet 1 has lower charges than sheet 2.
The sheet 2 is chosen based on the preconditions maintained in the agreement.
Now we send out tender to carriers. The carrier responds back with acceptance.
In the change log we could see that the calculation sheet was changed.
Initially we thought this might be the correct behaviour since we are looking for the lowest price.
This is happening only for selected few freight orders. The total number of events are in 20K and only for 30-50 freight orders this behaviour is seen.
I would like to know if someone came across such scenario?
Second question is how system is able to change the calculation sheet are there any factors which influence this behaviour?
Any guidance is highly appreciated.

Internal Settlement for Resources on "SAP TM for Shipper" Business Scenario
Dear Colleagues:
We are implementing "SAP TM for Shippers" Business Scenario.
Does anybody would have a document explaining how the setup the SAP TM functionality in order execute a Freight Order "Internal Settlement" when own Resources of type Vehicle are being used ?
- An own Vehicle type resource has been assigned to the Freight ORder
- The Vehicle type resource has been assigned to the SAles ORganization 1000 as part of the Resource master data.
- An Internal Agreement has been created between the "Sales ORganization" assigned to the Vehicle type Resource and Business Partner assigned to the Purchasing Organization used on the Freight Order involved.
- When the option "Charge/ Settlement" --> "Calculate Internal Charge" is being selected into the Freight ORder, nothing it happen.
We have followed the SAP TM 9.3 Online Help "Internal Settlement for Resources" recommendations in order setup this scenario.
I have red the following statement on SAP TM 9.3 Online Help-Internal Settlement for Resources: ".......You can use an internal settlement for a resource when you are a logistics service provider and you do not subcontract the movement of goods to a carrier...."
How we should proceed in case of "SAP TM for Shippers Business Scenario" to move forward with this requirement ?
Thanks in advance

Adding validation under an Overview's button
Hello everybody,
I need to add a validation when the user pushes on the button "Cancel document" which is located in the "Overview Road Freight Orders/Overview Air Freight Bookings/Overview Ocean Freight Bookings" of the SAP Business Client. I'm checking all kind of customizing configurations but none of them seems to work.
If someone of you has ever done something similar, could you explain how to add such validation?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Inbound Interface to create/update a booking
All,
Our client is a shipper who uses freight forwarders for planning, i.e. the shipper sends individual orders to the forwarder who consolidates them into a booking, books space with an ocean carrier and once the voyage / vessel / dates etc. are finalized, they send an EDI 304 to the shipper.
We would like to use this EDI 304 to create a new booking & subsequent 304 messages to update the booking. As of now we plan to use the interface 'TransportationOrderBookingWaybillNotification_In'. However the link suggests that this interface is intended for the LSP to create an 'import booking' as well as the relevant forwarding orders. So could anyone please confirm if this interface will meet our requirement which is a shipper scenario or do we need a custom interface?'. Or is there any other standard interface we can use for this requirement?
Best Regards,
KC

Integration of SAP EM and SAP TM – Ruleset Activity to update resource position in SAP TM
New ruleset activity TM_UPDATE_RES_POS has been introduced in SAP EM 9.2 with note 2330523 (and will be included in the next support package EM 9.2 SP07). This activity can be used to enhance e.g. the freight order tracking scenario (integration scenario with SAP TM). If a vehicle resource (e.g. a truck) is assigned to a freight order, it allows to update the last position of this resource in SAP TM without the need to propagate the event message to the freight order in SAP TM. So far this was only possible via existing rule activity TM_UPDATE_RESOURCE (seehttp://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-60764 ). This activity supports already updates on the resource in SAP TM, but only if the resource itself is tracked in SAP EM and event messages are processed for the resource event handler.
The full document can be checked in SAP EM community: Integration of SAP EM and SAP TM – Ruleset Activity to update resource position in SAP TM
