Can we have multiple default routes from shipping point to destination location in SAP TM?

[Krish01]

Hi Sharks,

As we know in SAP TM, we can only maintain one default route from one shipping point to destination location, is there any way we can maintain multiple default routes b/w shipping point to destination location? or is there any other way we can meet this requirement? kindly advise.

Hello @Krish01 

You can define multiple default routes for the same source and destination location. TM allows that.

However as per note 3012912 - FU/FWO Selection of Default Route in multiple default route scenario

if multiple default routes are available for the same source and destination location. The default routes are selected randomly by the system.

That is still not entirely true, because the note 2957349 - TM: Default Route does not evaluate based on transportation group clarifies further

For default route, the design decision was to focus on selecting the route based on the source and destination locations, and then filtering based on transportation mode, shipping type, and dangerous goods.

So if you define multiple default routes between the same source and destination location and with the same filtering criteria, you'd need to enhance the logic of the /SCMTMS/CL_SCH_PLN~FIND_ROUTE method, so the routes are not selected randomly.
