SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) integrates with SAP TM (Transportation Management)
In today’s connected logistics landscape, seamless integration between sales, transportation, and warehouse operations is vital for delivering timely and cost-effective service. This document explores how SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) integrates with SAP TM (Transportation Management) to enable end-to-end visibility and streamlined transportation planning directly from sales processes.
SAP SD-TM integration ensures that once a sales order is created in SAP SD, it automatically triggers transportation planning in SAP TM through the generation of Freight Units (FUs). These freight units—replicas of the sales order in TM—are then combined into Freight Orders or Freight Bookings for execution. This integration removes manual intervention, reduces errors, and ensures real-time consistency between systems.
The guide highlights essential configuration elements such as:
- Control Key definition for documentation relevance
- Freight Unit Types and Freight Unit Building Rules (FUBR)
- Logistics Integration Profiles and transportation relevance setup
- Integration with Fiori Tiles for accessing TM status directly from sales and delivery documents
By assigning the control key to the appropriate sales and delivery documents, TM status tabs appear directly within transactions like VA02 and VA03, giving users immediate insight into transportation progress and freight planning.
