Shipper scenario
Sales organization
Purchasing organization
• In Shipper scenario the transportation services are procured from the carrier.
• Planning organization are used when there is a central entity that takes care of
transportation planning of the group.
Organizational units
• The organizational unit role defines the organizational element's level within the
hierarchy.

Group
Organizational units
• BSG Org Unit – Links to the organization unit in SAP ERP system.
• Charge profile ID – Used for charge calculations. Calculation profile is linked to charge profile ID.
• Business system group – Used for system landscape directory. Usually it is used to link system
• Location
• Transportation zone
• Mode of transport
• Means of transport
• Vehicle resource
• Schedules
• Default routes
• Transportation lane
• Transshipment location
Location
• A location represents a physical location where goods are delivered, picked up, or
transshipped, or where trucks and trailers get coupled or uncoupled
• T Code - /SCMTMS/LOC3
Location
transport
with precision
Location
• Alternative ID – This is used in combination with ALI type for identifying purpose for
external organizations.
• Activate change doc : If this is activated a change document will be created for changes
• ALI Type – Here we define location scheme agencies such as IATA or UN/ECE which uses
the identification scheme for locations. We also define ALI type and assign code list to it.
• Define UN/LOCODE
Transportation zone
• It is used to group together multiple locations. It is used to simplify master data maintenance.
• T code - /SCMTMS/ZONE
Location
Postal code
Region
Mode of transport
• Main carriage indicator : Defines if mode of transport can be used for main carriage
• Sustainability factor defines fuel consumption and Co2 emissions. Used mainly for
statistical reporting
• Distance factor – Here we can specify ratio between shortest distance between two
locations and actual distance travelled by the MTr. It is used to calculate transportation
time.
• Standard Code – Code for MTr. Ex. UN/EDIFACT codes can be assigned here
Means of transport
• If this check box is selected and if number of individual resources is specified, system will
create as many number of freight orders while planning.
• Lock multiresource is used to lock the resource when planning is done simultaneously.
• No Capacity – If you activate this checkbox we cannot add compartments to this resource
• No Direct load – Indicates that goods cannot be loaded to this resources. Used in cases of
locomotives or tractors.
• Your Own MTr – Indicates that resources assigned to this MTr belongs to companies own fleet.
• GIS Quality - If this is selected system will use GIS for distance and duration determination by
taking into account low, medium and high speed
• Default MTr- Indicates if this MTr should be used for distance duration determination by default.
Equipment type & Groups
• This denotes different types of transportation unit resources, handling resource & vehicle
resource.
• Resource class
• Location
• MTr
• Capacity
• Units
• Factory calendar
Resource
• General data tab – Most of the attributes here gets copied from the MTr config.
• Owner
• Ownership type
• Planning block – Blocks this resources from being used in transportation planning
• Special instructions
• In Capacities field we can define the UoM and capacity for the compartment type
• Steps – Steps are the group together products Ex – Pallets. It is used to model
consumption of the compartment capacity with goods.
Step wise
Linear
• Linear can be used when pallet places are not available for other compartments
anymore.
Fixed compartment
• If load is more than 0 m3 and less than 5 m3, capacity consumption is 5 m3.
• If load is more than 5 m3 and less than 10 m3, capacity consumption is 10 m3.
• If load is more than 10 m3 and less than 15 m3, capacity consumption is 15 m3.
Zero consumption possible
• Zero consumption is possible for the compartment. That means if you leave this compartment empty,
• Zero consumption is not possible for the compartment. That means if you do not load this
compartment, it still consumes a capacity of 5m 3
Linear indicator
compartment type
• Vehicle combinations are used to combine active & passive vehicle together.
• Capacity constraints can be defined for the vehicle combination that consists
of the truck and the trailer
• Cargo cut off time - Specifies when freight units must be delivered to the location at
hand so that they can be transported by the schedule from this location.
• Documents cut off time & Dangerous goods cut off time
• Transit duration
• Availability time – Defines how long goods will be available at the location to be
picked up for further transportation process.
Schedules
• Auto fill time – Defines if we can change one departure or arrival time
• Create departure rule and generate voyages for the departure rules
Schedule upload report
• /SCMTMS/SCH_UPLOAD
• Gateway - Define if schedule uses consolidation points for transfer of goods where
goods from number of customers are stored to shipped together is one container.
• We can model three kinds of gateway schedules, containing both source and
destination gateway, only source gateway, and only destination gateway
Gateway
airport.
• Document type - freight document type that is used for creating freight documents out of the
schedule.
• Template – Specifies if the schedule created out of this schedule type is used as template and we
can change data in Freight booking/Freight order
• CC Strategy & Deletion strategy – Define which process controller strategy have to be used when a
schedule is changed or deleted.
• Ex – In Change controller strategy we can define if changes in schedule can have an effect on
already created freight documents.
• Absolute – Departure at 10:00 a.m. and a cutoff defined by an offset of one day and a time of11:30 a.m.
results in a cutoff time 11:30 a.m. two days before
• Relative – A cutoff of 1 day and 12 hours means that the cutoff time for a departure at 8 a.m. is mapped
into a cutoff time of 8 p.m. two days before. Similarly, an availability of 20 hours for an arrival at 5 p.m.
• One order - We can plan only one freight document for each departure
• In transportation network there can be several possible paths between two locations.
• A default route defines a location sequence for a given source and destination, which can be
locations or zones.
• Based on source and destination location system determines default routes and chooses most
specific one.
• Default route with source location and destination location same as source location and
• lf there are multiple matching default routes. the system chooses the most specific one.
• Advantage of the zone-to-zone default route is that you don't have to create new default
routes if new source or destination locations show up in the source and destination zone.
• We can also maintain the transit durations per stage and the lengths of stay per
intermediate stop
• Optimizer settings define in which instance default route can be used (FU, TU, Railcar
units etc)
Transportation lane
• A means of transport
Transportation lane
• Trans duration & time - The distance between the start and destination and
the amount of time it will take the means of transport to travel that distance
• Fix Trans duration & distance - Indicate whether the specified duration and
distance are to be overwritten by an automatic distance and duration
determination
Transportation lane
• Precision - Indicates whether the distance was calculated automatically based on the
straight-line distance (value: 0000), with GIS precision (0100) or entered manually
(1000).
• Means of transport cost – This will be used in cost profile for calculating distance
dependent cost.
• Min MTr cost – Minimum cost when MTr is used for single trip
Transportation lane
• Carriers grant discounts if they are assigned several freight orders for the
same vehicle resource
Simple continuous move
Round trip continuous move
Transportation lane
• MTr – T1 & T2
• Locations - A & B
• Zones – ZA & ZB
Transportation lane determination
• (1) Means of transport, (2) Destination, (3) Start – MTr & Destination has
priority
• (1) Start, (2) Destination, (3) Means of transport - Source has priority
• There are also transshipment locations where the goods collected are unloaded and
reloaded onto other trucks at a local depot.
• Rough planning - For many business processes, it isn't important to plan complete,
end-to-end transportation in detail. For example, it may be important to find the right
flights, but it's known that the airport can be reached within a predefined time interval
(e.g., eight hours). and planning for this stage of the journey doesn't require the same
degree of precision.
Transshipment location
• This allows planners to specify a duration that can be used for rough
planning instead of the exact distance and duration determined based
on transportation lanes
• In intermodal scenarios, many different schedules may touch one specific port. To allow the port
to be used as a transshipment location for connecting two schedules arriving at and departing
from the port, respectively, the port has to be defined as a transshipment location for all other
• This means that any location covered by two schedules can serve as a transshipment location
for all locations covered by the two schedules and therefore represents an implicit transshipment
location definition
