Done Master studies under the course "Masters in ERP with SAP", where I learned 12 different modules in SAP from scratch.
This is the first time I am writing a SAP blog and will try my best. I decided to share with this community, as it can be a good reference if you have to start from scratch or even redesign your process. This document is more focused on Transportation and Integration but it has a nice overview of all touch point / cross-module required for the E2E process flow.
By knowing the length of this E2E process and also to facilitate the lecture, I divided this blog post in 3 parts:
I. - Freight Unit Generation (This post is covering part I)
II. - Transportation Process Execution
III. - Settlements
I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing and I hope that you will like this and it will be helpful for your future engagements. If you like it, I appreciate you rating this blog post.
First, we need to create an Inquiry (It’s an optional step). In SAP S/4 we can create an Inquiry via VA11 transaction code. Maintain information in the below highlighted field based on your configuration setup.
Press enter and below screen will appear.
Maintain Sold-to-Party and press enter, system will fetch the Ship-to-Party from Business Partner. If you have multiple Ship-to-Party maintained in the business partner then system will show pop-up like below from where you can pick/select the correct Ship-to-Party for the respective order.
Maintain details as per the example given below.
Maintain the material along with the quantity.
Save inquiry.
If you want to display the Inquiry, you can access it via VA13 transaction code.
Now, go to VA21 transaction code for creating a Quotation in SAP S/4 and maintain details in the below highlighted fields based on your configuration.
Click on “Create with Reference” button and pass your Inquiry document number to create the Quotation with the reference of Inquiry which you have created for the respective customer & material and then click on “Copy”.
System will copy all the data from Inquiry to the Quotation. Maintain “Customer Reference, Customer Reference Date & Quotation Valid From-To Dates”. Also, from the condition/pricing master data system will pick up the pricing in the Quotation.
Save it.
If you want to display the Quotation then you can do via VA23 transaction code.
Go to transaction code VA01 for creating a Sales Order and maintain the details in the below highlighted fields based on your configuration setup.
Click on “Create with Reference” button and pass your Quotation document number to create the Sales Order with the reference of Quotation which you have created for the respective customer & material and then click on “Copy”.
System will copy all the data from Quotation to the Sales Order. Maintain “Customer Reference & Customer Reference Date.
System has determined the Shipping Condition as “P1 – P&B: Dom. OTR”. Based on my configuration system will trigger/create the FU (Freight Unit) against the Sales Order (Once order is created).
I have maintained the credit card info in the order.
Save it.
If you want to display the Sales Order then you can do via VA03 transaction code.
System has performed the digital payment authorization and generated the Auth Number & Token.
Go to the “TM Status” and there we can find out the SAP-TM Document Flow.
Here we can find out which FU (Freight Unit) system has been generated for the respective sales order.
This is the end of the Part I - Freight Unit Generation. Check here for the Part II - Transportation Process Execution and here is the Part III - Settlements.
Note: Will try to add SAP S/4 HANA Service Management process as well in this blog series as part of Post Sales activities.
