We have started to go through our requirements and the items that have been flagged as “Gaps” in the Life Sciences template of S/4. Some of the item that are being called out as Gaps and needing an enhancement are a bit surprising to us that they would not be available out of the box from S/4 life sciences. I have included a list of the below:
- Ability to do flash title transfer from DC to LRD after shipment from DC. The Gap being identified is being able to automate the flow from the DC with the invoice to the LRD and then the invoice to the customer based on that “product shipped” trigger
- Ability to put a hold on export orders until all customs documentation is received from the customs broker. The Gap identified is that because we use an external customers broker, we would have to build a rule that blocks the shipment until we unblock it once we receive the paperwork
- Ability to Store Parcel Shipping Tracking Number & URL. The Gaps is listed as storing the parcel carrier tracking number and URL within TM in nonstandard and will require. Additional fields will need to be updated or created to store this information.
