Creation of Freight Order from Web service

[former_member679858]

We are trying to create Freight Order from an xml file using Web service /SCMTMS/TransportationOrderGen ,Referenced Object:/SCMTMS/II_CPX_TOR_GN_RQ_IN.

please let me know if this is the correct web service that can be used to create FO with respect sales order and freight unit details, also need sample xml file with data for the above web service.

Help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Vishal

Hi vishalpulipati07

How did you achieve this assigning FU to FO. I'm also using same SOAP API service to create FO along with FUs. Could you please share the code if possible. That would be really helpful to me. Thanks in advance.--

Hello vishalpulipati07

You can use TransportationOrderGenericRequest_In service to create freight orders. Refer to note 2722559 - Usage of TransportationOrderGenericRequest_In in SAP Transportation Management for details.

Just notice that according to the note you can't refer and assign already existing freight units to the freight order with this interface - the note says:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This service is only capable of creating LOCAL items and cannot reference items of an existing demand document. Eg. Freight Unit.

Hello 3a9e4ce873a94034b33dc62b0ce600ee

Thank you for you response, i am able to create Freight order from the Webservice TransportationOrderGenericRequest_In but i am not able to assign a freight unit or the sales order to the created freight Order.

In the document flow of the Freight order in document hierarchy i see only the Freight order and rest are missing(FU and sales order).

can you please suggest what am i missing when creating from webservice.

Hello vishalpulipati07

You can use the add_fustage_with_planning action from the ROOT node of /SCMTMS/TOR object to assign FUs to a FO

Hello vishalpulipati07

The XML structure of TransportationOrderGenericRequest_In contains items, so you can transfer them. However the service implementation is flawed and it doesn't allow to assign existing demand documents to a freight order being created. That's what 2722559 - Usage of TransportationOrderGenericRequest_In in SAP Transportation Management says:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This service is only capable of creating LOCAL items and cannot reference items of an existing demand document. Eg. Freight Unit.

I could think of a work around - /SCMTMS/TOR objects features an action that allows assignment of freight units to a freight order. Therefore the service could be enhanced to call this action after the freight order is created. I've not implemented that yet, but I'm quite sure it's doable.

Hi 3a9e4ce873a94034b33dc62b0ce600ee,

I'm also having same requirement. Can you please provide information like where exactly the action can be called after FO creation. Thanks in advance.
