Hi
Transportation Management basicaly is about two document. Shipment and Shipment cost document. A shipent is basically a collection of deliveries. One shipment can have multiple destinations in its Route. The most important thing in shipment is route determination. One route can have multiple phases e.g. 1/3 distance travelled on road,1/3 on rail and remaining on ship. Thses phases are called Legs. The legs have to be maintained in route determination 0VTC.
Important fields in Shipment document are shipment type,route and Service Agent(Transportation agent).Also the shipment start, shipment completion etc. button are important. They have some specific functions which can be configured.
We create shipment with help of transportation agent. He is maintained as partner Function. After completion of shipment we have to pay him for his services. For calculation of the amount payable to him, Shipment cost document is created. One shipment can have only one Shipment Cost Document.
There is a tickmark named as transfer in SCD. This tickmark is responsible for transferring shipment cost to FI. After the transfer of cost, A service entry sheet ( GR for services) is generated in background. the service entry sheet is then accepted and the Invoice is created.
