Freight Order in TM 8.0

Hi
I am new to TM 8.0. Currently I am working on an enhancement related to Freight order. I need to perform Charge calculation in the Freight order to create Freight settlement document, which will be invoiced later in ECC system.
I need to know where I can create the Freight agreement, since the charge calculation fails stating that "Freight agreement does not exist"
Is there any transaction where I can create Freight agreement other than NWBC.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards,
Joseph M

Hi Joseph,
This is part of master data. Go to: Master Data -> Charge Management -> Freight Agreements.
For the thing you are doing you probably also need to create a calculation sheet, and maybe also rate tables and scales.
Kind regards,
Nico.

Issue in Credit Memo Posting in ECC against SAP TM Freight Order

Hello Experts,
I have created Credit Memo against TM Freight Order and Transferred to ECC.
Sender Outbound Service Interface on TM Side "TransportationOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_Out" was successful.
But Receiver Inbound Service Interface on ECC Side is failing "TransportationOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_In"
XML analysis gives below error message:
No instance of object type Purchase Order has been created. External reference
PO header data still faulty
Enter a vendor
Please enter items first
I was able to create a Service PO and Service Entry Sheet for FSD created against same Freight Order, so I don't see any issue in Config.
Thanks and Regards,
Arnab Biswas

Hi Arnab,
As understood, standard interface creates Service PO in ECC for your Freight order in SAP TM.
Then you are trying to create Invoicing document linked to the created service PO, which is just like FWSD of Freight order. Inbound XML data will give you thorough picture of this issue.
General Analysis :
When FWSD created in TM for Freight Order interface "TranspOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_Out" is triggered and it will pass the same TM data of Freight Order to create invoice in ECC and not like the Service PO.
Kindly check your inbound XML with data in it.
You might need to change in outbound interface BADI while sending data out from SAP TM, or in inbound BADI to modify incoming data in ECC.
In SAP TM SPRO search with below content.
BAdI for TranspOrderSUITEInvoicingPreparationRequest_Out
or
you need to search inbound BADI in ECC side to make changes in inbound data.
Reward if found useful..
Thanks and Regards,

Check the Freight order locked status in TM 8.0

Hi All,
Is there any method to check whether the Freight order is locked for processing, other than the messages obtained when the
Freight order is called for update and it returns a message, the Order is locked and cannot be processed.
Also can you please provide me the links, where I can find useful information regarding the TM 8.0

Forwarding order as a subsequent transaction for Freight order

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario like Shipper sub contracts the containers to different trucks and subsequently same containers loaded into vessel and later on these containers delivered to consignee using another sub contract with trucking company.
So here I want to link the initial subcontract freight order to the vessel forwarding order and the document flow would be like - Freight order - Forwarding order - Freight order.
Please advise if above scenario is possible.
Regards,
Shakti

International Outbound scenario explained in standard SAP documentation will be helpful.
I don't have any standard document to explain this. I can publish a blog for this [This will take some time].
However, the design depends on the master data you have for lanes and schedules.
One possible way to execute the above scenario is: [Manual planning]
1. Assign the Port of Netherlands to Berlin Plant as a transshipment location
2. Assign Port of Houston to Customer Location as transshipment location.
3. Maintain lanes for Berlin to Port of Netherlands, Port of Netherlands to Port of Houston and Port of Houston to Customer location.
4. Use rough cut planning and use transportation proposal in cockpit. This will spilt the FU stage into three.
5. Plan individually these three stages in separate cockpits for Truck and Ocean to create FOs and FB accordingly.
Note: You can automate many of these planning stages if you have proper master data.

Fetch Charge item present under TransportCharges node for Freight order

Hi All,
I need to fetch the details of the charge elements for carrier for freight order.
I was able to traverse till node "TransportCharges" for the business object /scmtms/tor.
I am not to traverse further to the charge item present under the node 'TransportCharges'.
Which method I should use to fetch the details like 'Retrieve by association' or 'Retrieve' of service manager.
I was able to see the details in transaction /bobf/test_ui. I need to implement the code for the same functionality.
Please help me which parameters needs to be passed to the method to fetch the data, as I am getting dump when I trying to fetch the charge item details.
Regards,
Joseph M

Hi All,
Transport charge being a dependent object, to access the parameters need to use the class
/scmtms/cl_common_helper=>get_do_keys_4_rba( ).
This is done to convert the meta model keys to run time keys for processing.

Ocean Freight booking number from freight order - SAP TM

Hello experts,
I have a requirement to display Freight Booking Number on Adobe form (copy of standard SAP TM Form /SCMTMS/FP_FBL).
{ Steps to execute the form:- Go to NWBC - Freight Order Management - Edit Freight Order - Output Management - Generate List of Actions (Custom Action is configured here) - Document preview to open the form }
For the ocean freight order I need to display Ocean freight booking number on the form. Now on the print structure of the Form '/SCMTMS/S_PRINTOUT_FBL' only the existing document (ie freight order) related information is available not for the predecessor or successor documents.
I have found that these 2 documents (freight order & freight booking ) are related to freight unit (in my case ocean dry container) but I am unable to identify how they are directly related to each other in the system. Checked below link but still cant find any relation.
(Pick-up and Delivery Freight Orders - Freight Order Management - SAP Library)
Is there any way I can identify the freight booking number from freight order in SAP TM system?
Thanks in advance.
Puneet

Hi Matt,
you can find associations DRAYAGE_TOR (from booking to freight order(s)) and DRAYTOR_BOOK (from freight order to booking) under the ROOT node of business object /SCMTMS/TOR. If you check those in TA /BOBF/CONF_UI, you can also have a look at the corresponding implementing classes - however, there should be no need to do this
Technically, the references are stored on ITEM_TR level, but as determining the correct references can be tricky, I would strongly recommend to use the above mentioned associations in order to get the pre-carriage order (or booking vice versa), instead of trying to determine them on your own from various DB tables - we already implemented the tricky part in the associations, so there is no need for you to worry about that
Best regards,
Sabine

Few folders like Forwarding order management, Freight order management, Planning are missing in NWBC menu.

Hi Experts,
I found in my new system few folders like Forwarding order management, Freight order management, Planning are missing in NWBC menu (Ref. menuarea marked red in the attachment.).
So please suggest if any settings are missing for NWBC.
Thanks,

Passing 'Service Level' from Forwarding order to Freight order

Hi All,
If I create a Forwarding order with Service Level "XYZ" and create a freight order from it,
the service level 'XYZ' is not passed on to the Freight order Service Level field.
Instead of 'XYZ' it is empty.
When investigated found out that, freight order will take Service Level defined in the corresponding Freight order type.
In my case, the Service level in Freight order type is left Empty.
Is there any workaround to bring the Service level from FWO to FO?
Thanks & Regards,
Michael.

Hi Michael,
It depends how you are creating a FO from forwarding order. Do you have FUs as linkage or you are creating FO directly by using FUBR?
Thanks & Regards,

FWSD creation post POD in Freight order

Hi All,
Need to set up a condition that Forwarding Settlement document creation should be enabled only after the POD is captured in the Freight order.
How this can be achieved?
Thanks in Advance.
- Michael

Hi Narendar,
Freight Order Config was checked but could not find any event related settings as you mentioned. Also, In the settlement rules , one needs to specify the execution status required for a forwarding order.
It would help if you could elaborate on the settings and steps.
Thanks

Restrict Freight weight in Freight Order before assigning Vehicle Resource

Hi,
Can we restrict that Freight Order should not contain more than a specified weight when it is being created against ECC Orders automatically. So that freight order does not accept ECC orders after its weight capacity is reached.
*Please note that the Vehicle resource belongs to the LSP and that has not being assigned yet to the freight order, otherwise Vehicle capacity could have been considered.
Thanks and Regards,
Vikas Chhabra

I agree with Mike. To elaborate on his comments (ok, my interpretation): if there are more sales orders than there is shipping capacity then Mike's approach would alert a transportation planner that there is a shipping capacity shortatage (unallocated / unassigned Freight Units). Granted there would be no explicit "alert" as to this fact going to your customer service folks working the ECC side (other than their constantly checking sales order delivery status - pretty ugly).
My question: does the customer want more than you can ship? Or is this "excessive" demand based on product shortages? In other words - if there is a product shortage you are better off attacking this through your ECC availability checking / MRP functionality (yes, it is far from perfect). If this is strictly a shipping capacity issue then Mike's suggestion holds - and then you have a communication problem between your transportation planners and your customer service folks (and your customers).
Just my 2 cents....

Delete Reported Event in Freight Order

Hi Gurus,
How to delete the reported event in Execution tab of the Freight order?
For Ex:
After capturing POD, if i want to delete it, i cant find any option to delete it.
Thanks,
Michael.

Hi ,
You have to build a custom action in TM to revoke the reported event and send the update to EM event handler to set the event as invalid in EM.
TM Table : /SCMTMS/D_TOREXE
set the value as X @ Field : EVENT_REVOKED
EM Table : /SAPTRX/EVM_HDR
Set the value as X @ field INVALID_DATA
Don't forget to reset the status of the document in TM and EM.

Self pick up freight order

Hi,
What is the basic difference between self pick up freight order and standard freight order.
For self pick FO; is it the same FO we use in the pre carriage ( stage 1) for transporting goods from shipper to the station on export side.

Hi, Dipak
Self pick-up freight order is related to self pick-up stage, which is a special stage type as the name indicates the customer pick-up his goods by himself. For this kind of stage, the carrier/freight forwarder don't have to deliver it, and thus don't need any planning for it and won't charge customer for it.
Best regards
Sensen

Hi all,
while creating frieght order from freigh unit cargo weight is not populating in freight order.
we have flow like DTR->FU->FO (FU to FO creation is automatic)

here in FO cargo weight information is not populating.
any idea or any Note for this.
Please reply
Thanks,
kesar.

Hi Kesar,
This should be a standard issue, please try below notes:

How to prevent freight order note adoption

Hi TM experts,
A freight order is created with reference to another FO.
We don't want to adopt the notes/texts from the referenced FO.
How can we prevent adopting notes/texts from the FO that is referenced to?
Thanks
Erdal

Thanks Narender,
Let me ask my original question in this way:
How can I determine the 'copy scope' as shown on the below algorithym?
Thanks

Planning - creating one Freight order each for one Freight unit

Hi,
We have a scenario where we want to create one freight order for each freight unit from automatic planning.
Please guide me if the above scenario can be executed.
Regards,
Renuka

3rd option which is kind of cool - if you set up an incompatability between this freight unit type and any other freight unit (including itself) then it will only be able to build one FU per Freight Order.
Note that I would expect this to be more processor intensive during optimisation than the capacity constraint option, but a more flexible overall.
