Embedded TM / Seafreight Booking question

[Ronald_Knienieder]

Dear community,

I hope you can help me with some basic understanding for sea freight bookings in SAP TM (embedded TM).

I create a sea booking for a freight unit of 10 tons. Now let's say I want to split it to each 5 tons because I need to load 5 tons per container. I know I could create a better freight unit building rule, but sometimes it can happen that we need to split quantities on different containers.

Question 1: can I do the split directly in the freight booking? I don't see a possibility on the UI. So for now, I jump into the freight unit and do the split there, but the newly created freight unit is not assigned any more to the freight booking. So I think, this is not the standard process. Any ideas?

Question 2: After I have created the containers and assigned the freight units, I create the pick-up order for each container. So in my case, I get 2 freight orders. That's fine. Now I want to create for each freight order a delivery. But when I start the delivery proposal in TM Cockpit, the system combines both freight units in one delivery. I need one delivery per freight order. The same delivery profile is assigned to the freight order type as well as to the sea booking type. What do I oversee here?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Help yourself or you are lost....

We solved it as follows:

Question 1: we jump from the booking into the freight unit, there you need to set "adopt stops". Then the newly created FU remains ins the booking. SAP help: Creation and Editing of Freight Units | SAP Help Portal

Question 2: we use an enhancement as there is no Badi available in version 2021. 😕

in Class: /SCMTMS/CL_DLV_PROP_BUILDER_OL=>FILL_INPUT_IL we copy the FU ID as split criteria. 

I assign myself and my colleague 100 points.

Hi @Ronald_Knienieder,

a bit late now, but on question 2 you should check if the sales order allows partial delivery.

Hi @philippbergthaler ,

yes, the order allows order combination and partial deliveries. I debugged it and identified that TM only identifies the seafreight booking as freight order. Actually, I expected that the pick-up freight order is relevant (= what it is in reality). 

my scenario:

• seafreight booking: FU A + FU B (both from the same sales order)
  • pick up order 1 for FU A
  • pick up order 2 for FU B

I need a delivery per pick up order.

TM creates one delivery. 😯

All the discussions I found about the delivery profile seems not valid for my case because I understood that the delivery profile is only relevant for UNPLANNED freight units. In my case, the freight units are well planned. 

Is there any advice how this process can be realized? I think it's not from outer space. 😉

Thank you
