Introduction: Now a days businesses are asking to create the automatic TU (Transportation Unit) creation once the PO &IBD created though ASN.
So, in this Blog I am going to explain the TU configuration and automatic TU & vehicle creation through PPF actions.
So, this blogs are categorized as below sections:
- TU and Vehicle configuration steps in S4 and EWM
- PPF Configurations
- Testing
A)

- B) PPF CONFIGURATIONS:
T-CODE: SPPFCADM
15.Application: /SCDL/DELIVERY
Action Profile: /SCWM/PDI_01
Action Definition: ZTU/SCWM/PDI_01_WT_CREATE

C)Testing:
1.Create IBD- VL31N
2.Maintain IBD- /N/SCWM/PRDI

c4
T-Code: /N/SCWM/TU

You can clearly see the particularly created TU has the assigned IBD to it.
Conclusion: By above steps I hope you understand the configuration steps of TU and PPF action setup and testing of TU and vehicle .
