SAP TM - Tracking number update from carrier in Freight order in Basic SAP TM

[KB786]

We are doing a greenfield implementation of SAP S/4HANA 2023 where basic embedded SAP TM is being implemented.

The carriers on receiving the Freight order send an XML file back to SAP TM with tracking number.

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ProcessShipmentReply
xmlns="http://XXX.com/ws/ship/v26">
<HighestSeverity>SUCCESS</HighestSeverity>
<Notifications>
<Severity>SUCCESS</Severity>
<Source>ship</Source>
<Code>0000</Code>
<Message>Success</Message>
<LocalizedMessage>Success</LocalizedMessage>
</Notifications>
<TransactionDetail>
<CustomerTransactionId>1001022546</CustomerTransactionId>
</TransactionDetail>

I checked and found that SPROXY

TransportationOrderSCMRequest_In can be used to design the inbound XML file.

My problem is I cannot find a place in Freight order where this tracking id will get updated. SAP Event management is in Advanced TM which I cannot use.

I wanted to know how the whole inbound process of Tracking from carrier is configured in Basic TM.

Also checking the XML I believe I will have to do an enhancement in TransportationOrderSCMRequest_In

Hello @KB786 

You can store the tracking number in freight order document references:

As far as I know TransportationOrderSCMRequest_In has a segment to transfer document references.

Thank you, Dominik. I checked my created workflow in sandbox and I can't find this tab in my Frieght order FIORI app. It stops at CO2 emissions. Am I missing some configurations?

@KB786 - Tracking must be there...unfortunately I missed @Dominik_Tylczynski - Thanks!

@KB786 - Am I missing some configurations? -> Go to FO -> Top right click on ... -> Click Settings -> add reference ( you can see other tab)-> Save

Hi @KB786 ,

My opinion- Tracking number can be stored as new Text (Notes in FO) or add new custom field/tab...as you told you need enhancement.

Kind Regards,

Ajit

Thanks Ajit. Will try the Notes tab in FO to store the tracking number.

[Dominik_Tylczynski]

That is not a good idea - notes are notoriously difficult to search by or to report.

Hi @Dominik_Tylczynski- Agreed! Kind Regards, Ajit
