Transportation module

I am a FICO consultant and need some information about the transportation module that SAP has. Is there any documentation available for this? Also, when using this, will the shipment cost of raw materials be updated automatically in the PO? Any info would be highly appreciated.

Hello FICO MOH,
Transportation Management can be used to plan and execute the transportation process and should be transparent for customers and partners at every stage.
You can get some more information here
<a href="http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/14AD00E3B21F4921A46C10554B0CEEE6.htm">Transportation - A part of supply chain management</a>

Hope this helps.

Prblem In Transportation Module

Hi Friends,
I am working on Transportation module , following the flow i.e
SO-DO-Creating Ship.Doc-PGI-Creating Shp.cost.doc-Invoice
Please guide me for following points.
1. Whether this flow is correct or not.
2. I have problem in G/L Account for transportation because it shows Account assignment not completed status in cost doc.
3. In our project client want to do service contract with transporter , for this what I have to do.
3. There is any facility for shortage of materil during transit.
4. If anyone have IMP doc. please send me on my ID
[email protected]
if necessary provide ur ID , so i can forword u screen shots whether i am getting problem.
waitng for your reply GURUS
Devdatta

Dear Mr Joshi,
1. Whether this flow is correct or not.
It is perfectly suitable, but in case of a cancellation, an additional step is required. So it is suggested that the shipment document be carried out after the goods have reached the destination.
2. I have problem in G/L Account for transportation because it shows Account assignment not completed status in cost doc.
Could we kindly verify if the transportation vendor number is part of the shipment cost document.
3. There is any facility for shortage of materil during transit.
Currently in SAP there is no provision to raise a financial recovery entry on a transportation contractor for losses in transit.
Trust I clarify.

Error connecting as DBA using Data Pump Within Transportable Modules

Hi all
I am using OWB 10g R2 and trying to set up a transportable Module to test the Oracle Data Pump utility. I have followed the user manual in terms of relevant grants and permissions needed to use this functionality and have sucessfully connect to both my source and target databases and created my transportable module which will extract six tables from a source database on 10.2.0.1.0 to may target schema in my warehouse also on 10.2.0.1.0. When i come to try and deploy / execute the transportable module it fails with the following error.
RPE-01023: Failed to establish connection to target database as DBA
Now we have even gone as far as granting the DBA role to the user within our target but we still get the same error so assume it is something to do with the connection of the Transportable Target Module Location and it needs to connect as DBA somehow in the connect string. Has anyone experienced this issue and is their a way of creating the location connection that is not documented.
There is no mention of this anywhere within the manual and i have even followed the example from http://www.rittman.net/archives/2006_04.html and my target user has the privilages detailed in the manual as detailed below
User must not be SYS. Musthave ALTER TABLESPACE privilege and IMP_FULL_
DATABASE role. Must have CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW privilege with ADMIN
option. Must be a Warehouse Builder repository databaseuser.
Any help would be appreciated before i raise a request with Oracle

Did you ever find a resolution ? We are experiencing the same issue..
thanks

Work Flow & Procedure For Transportation Module Of SD

Dear All,
Currently, we have just got SD implemented. Now, we shall like to go for the Transportaion Module i.e. Order Booking, delivery and the PGI followed by Auto Invoicing. Now, we wants to go for Transportation Module i.e. Shipment Creation, Shipment cost calculation , Service Order Creation etc. As we are quite new to this. So, we shall like to know the complete work flow & the procedure for implementing the same. i.e. in what sequence the various transactions to be used for Master / Transaction.
Please advise further.
With Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Thanks for the reply. Definitely, i can share the details to the best of my knowledge about the transportation module.
This module is basically meant for controlling purpose. Our main objective is to control the Transportaion Charges. Vendor Invoice must be cross verified from the sytem as well.
Our Current Business Process : As per business process, we are having fixed rates per transporter for the type of vehicle and the source - destination combination. So, whenever, we are stock transferring the material from our mfg. plants to various depots, we are using various transporters (some one are specialised for south, some are spl. for east, so on and so forth). On the receipt of the material, receiver i.e. the destination branch , confirms the material receipt.. MIGO / MIRO etc. . We wants to capture the cost of the shipment as per the system and then on the receipt of the bill from transporter, the same must be cross verified.
On going thru various documents from Web, I could gather the following details :
1. After making deliveries, we have to make a shipment document. In our case, max. time it shall be an individual Shipment i.e. Tcode VT01N. Other type of shipment be Collective Shipment, which we use very less no. of times.
2. We have to prepare Shipment Cost document by using Tcode VI01
3. We have to create a service Purchase Order By using ME21N.
In our business scenario, we shall not be using legs concept as our shipments generally used to be from point to point basis.
Sir, logically, i know our needs.. But getting stuck at a couple of points ... Like where to define various rates per transporter..That's why, i named the subject as the Work Flow & Procedure for Tpt.Module.
I shall like to request you to kindly advise further in this regard or kindly let me know if some study material is available from where i can comes to know about the exact work flow of the Transportation Module As Such.
From Where I Can Get Help on Any Tcode Usage i.e How to use a Tcode and what be its basic functionality.
With Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

TRANSPORTATION MODULE - 1

hi,
what is the relevance of shipment cost information profile.
we are having frieght condition types here in pricing procedure as condition types, then what is the need for giving different condition types in transportation pricing procedure.
where the actual pricing procedure condition types triggers and where the frieght condition types triggers.
(2). how many types of procedures are there for settlement to the vendors.
regards,
balajia

Hi,
Shipment cost document in transportation module helps you in the following ways.
Basic purpose of shipment cost document is to settle the transport vendor for the transportation he has done. In order to settle, we need to create a service PO, service entry sheet etc. Based on which the payment will be done to the vendor.
Shipment Cost document will help you by automatically generating the Service PR, PO and Service entry sheets in the background once you click on the Transfer button, which minimises the work of creating all the above said documents.
With reference to Service entry sheets, vendor invoice can be created.
For one delivery it will not be a problem, if you do it manually. But when you do for so many deliveries on a day it is very difficult to do it manually. This is the basic reason why we use transportation module.
Regards
Vijay

HI, TRANSPORTATION MODULE PROBLEM

HI,
CAN ANY BODY SAY
TRANSPORTATION MODULE CONFIGURATION STEPS
IN LOGISTICS EXECUTION.
REGARDS,
BALAJI.T
09990019711.

hi,
pl check this :
Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
Create Shipment Document
Use
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.
Transportation Create Single document Logistics Logistic Execution  TransportationPlanning
T.code: VT01n
Enter your transportation planning point and shipment type. Press enter.
Creating the shipment cost document
Use
After the deliveries are scheduled by shipment and the shipment is executed, now it is time to maintain and close the shipment document in order to record all relative information and ready for the shipment cost settlement.

After creation of shipment cost doc. You settle the Shipment cost.
Go to VI02, enter shipment cost no.and press enter.
Then go to Overview -- Fright cost items, Select the line item and double click it.
Go as main menu: Item --> Acc. assignment, you enter G/L acc. and cost center to which the transportation cost will be posted.
On the Standard change, details Freight cost items screen, then check the check box Transfer, which means you will transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will used to settle the cost, so after you check the Transfer check box.
Press save button on the current screen.

Generally process is-
1) VL01N
2) VT01
3) VL02N - PGI
4) VI01
5) ML81N Service Entry Sheet
6) MIRO Invoice Verification
Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

Cannot delete transportable module source location

Hi,
we're using OWB 10.2.0.1. Yesterday we created a transportable module for testing purposes and within the wizard a tm-source- and a tm-target-location. After deployment with control center it worked.
Afterwards we tried to delete all these new objects, first unregistering the tm-target-location, then deleting the transportable module and the locations. The problem is that the tm-source-location context menu doesn't show the delete action and therefore it couldn't be deleted.
Seems like the tm-source-location is registered in the control center, but it is not visible there.
I tried it with OMBPlus commands, too. But the answers after connecting to the control center and the design repository are always the same. When trying "OMBUNREGISTER LOCATION 'tm-source-location'" the answer is "Location tm-source-location is not registered.". Using "OMBDROP LOCATION 'tm-source-location'" results in "PUB01010: Object is not deletable.".
Is there a chance to delete the location directly manipulating the owb tables?
Any help would be appreciated! Thx.
omit

After creating the transportable module and its source and target locations I tried to register them in DEFAULT_CONTROL_CENTER, but got an error (I can't remember the issue in detail, but it was anything like a connection problem). So I created a new control center location CONTROL_CENTER1, connected to it, and got the locations registered and deployed the transportable module.
Later I figured out that I don't need the transportable module for our purposes and in first step, as I can remember, I deleted the control center location CONTROL_CENTER1. Next step was deleting the transportable module, unregistering und deleting the tm-target-location and the other steps I described before in earlier posts.
How can I get more information about the registered tm-source-location? To which (not existing) control center it is connected and so on? In RAB I can see and unregister the location, but I don't know for which control center this action takes place.
Thx for your replies.

Transportable module

We are using transportable tablespaces wich is working fine!
My question is, if it is possible to somehow schedule or make a package to automate the deployment of the transportable module?

The script OWB generates can't be used as a shell script!
The other option I came up with is to build a omb script that deploys the transportable module.
When our DWH load script finishes we create a job dbms_scheduler.create_job() that executes the OMB script. 'OMBPlus.sh deploy_script.tcl'

DEMURRAGE - Transportation Module

Dear Transportation Module Experts,
We are working on ECC 6.0
In Transportation module we have to configure the Demurrage charges for Transporters.
The Transporter is bound to deliver the material within the stipulated or usual time. i.e., if the material
has to reach the destination within 5 days and the material is delivered within 5 days. There is no demmurage.
But, if the material is delivered in 8 days. There the transporter has to pay the demmurage for 3 days delay.
We want to capture the loading and unloading date & time in system. System should propose the demmurage based on some masters in shipment cost document.
One check if possible , system should not allow to take goods receipt unless the unloading date and time is duly entered.
Kindly suggest how this can be done.
Thanks in advance...
