In version 2023 it is possible to integrate the SAP TD and SAP TM modules in a Standard way, as mentioned in the links below:

• SAP Oil, Gas, and Energy Highlights of 2023 written by JaninaC.
• Transportation Management Highlights in SAP S/4HANA 2023 Release and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edit... - written by Eric Osterroth.
• OIL&GAS - Integration between TD and TM - written by Arthur Placido.

The integration was successfully configured by performing the following steps:

1. I asked Basis to activate the following business function
   OIL_TM_BASED_SHPMNT_COST_CALC.
   
   
2. Configure the "SBGRFCCONF" t-code
   According to SAP's instructions available at the BGRFC Configuration link.
   
   

3. Define TD-TM integration relevance, via the SPRO path below:
   SAP Customizing Implementation Guide-> Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream)->TM-Based Shipment Cost Calculation-> Application Settings -> TD-TM Integration -> Define TD-TM Integration Relevance
   
   

4. Define logistics integration profile, through the SPRO path below
   SAP Customizing Implementation Guide Industry -> Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) -> TM-Based Freight Costing->TD-TM Integration -> Define Logistics Integration Profile
   
   
   
   
   

5. Set TD transport relevance to bulk transport, via the SPRO path below:
   SAP Customizing Implementation Guide -> Industry  Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) ->TM-Based Shipment Cost Calculation-> Application Settings-> TD-TM Integration ->  Define TD Transportation Relevance Bulk Transportation
   
   
   
6. Activate TM-based freight costing using the SPRO path below:
   SAP Customizing Implementation Guide Industry à Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) à Activate TM-Based Shipment Cost Calculation
   Before:
   

   After:

   
   • Attention: If this step is not performed, the TM documents will not be displayed in the "TM Status" tab of the TD transport document (o4f3), as illustrated in the image below:
     
     
     
7. Set up Freight Unit creation rule
   Choose TD_TM_INT. This strategy allows SAP to create the Freight Order automatically and assign the TM flow within the TD shipment document.
   
   
   
8. Execute Transaction OINSC_MD – Mapping Master Data - IS-OIL to TM
   
   • Attention: If you do not perform this step, SAP does not create the Freight Unit in TM, as shown in the image below: 
     Log seen by the transaction OINSC_TDQTYA
     

Configuration tests

After completing all the steps above and creating the necessary documents in the TD module, it will be possible to access the Freight Unit and Freight Order through the TD transport document.

TM Status Tab – Transport Document – T-code O4f3

It will also be possible to view the documents in the freight order flow.

"Document Flow" Tab – Freight Order

Transactions that helped me analyze the errors I faced during testing:

1. OINSC_MD – Master Data Mapping – IS-OIL to TM.
2. OINSC_TDQTYA – Check Logs for errors in document creation during integration.
