SAP TM Planning Query ?

316 Views

Hi Experts,

I am new to TM .Please steer me right if the solution is not in right direction .

This is outbound shipper scenario. Transportation of finished goods to customers is expected. Client wants to plan is advance based on orders and as we go close to real delivery date the plan will be further refined/ confirmed.

SO in ECC--> OTR in TM --> freight Unit--> Planning run ---> freight order --> Delivery proposal --> Delivery in ECC --> DTR in TM consumes OTR ---> (further planning in TM here lies my doubt )

What happens if stock is not there in ECC , when delivery proposal is sent to ECC from TM . Also what happens if some order is cancelled/changed in mean time. The DTR which consumes OTR is already planned hence i can't replan it now.

Other option is :

SO in ECC --> Delivery in ECC--> DTR in TM --> Freight unit in TM --> Planning run ---> Freight Order --> Shipment document in ECC.

But in this case i.e. planning based on DTR hence planning is done only at the last moment .

We want to do planning in advance so that we can reserve sufficient trucks for transportation.

(Having exp. in APO planning) I am making analogy to SNP run as long term planning and Deployment run for final short term planning. Not sure if this is correct way to look at this scenario.

Regards,
