8. Use of sap TM You can use SAP TM to create and monitor an efficient transportation plan that fulfills the relevant constraints (for example, service level, costs, and resource availability). You can determine options to save costs and to optimize the use of available resources. You can react to transportation events and find solutions to possible deviations from the original transportation plan.

11. Forwarding Order Management You can use the FOM component in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) to create, edit, and confirm forwarding orders from your ordering parties. You can also already specify the route and have the transportation charges calculated here. The orders then form the basis for transportation planning.

12. Forwarding Order Management In addition to creating the forwarding order, you can also enter the data as a forwarding quotation and send it to the ordering party. You can then create a forwarding order based on the forwarding quotation

13. Forwarding Order Management An order from an ordering party to a carrier or logistics service provider with respect to the transportation of goods from a shipper to a consignee according to the agreed-upon conditions. It contains the most important data for planning and executing the transportation, such as the pick-up and delivery address, dates/times, and the goods that are to be transported. From the forwarding order, you can determine and define the transportation route, and create freight units and a transportation plan. You can also have the system calculate the transportation charges and start the invoicing.

ERP Logistics Integration You use integration of SAP ERP orders and deliveries to facilitate transportation planning and execution in SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) based on orders and deliveries that are created in an SAP ERP system. The orders and deliveries are represented by transportation requirements in SAP TM. The integration allows you to continuously react to changes to orders and deliveries that occur in the SAP ERP system.
