Hi Team,

Do we suggest same/common or different TM document types(FU Type,FO Type, FB Type..) for multiple countries(some with multiple company codes also)?

Can you please share your suggestions.

Thank you.

Example:

1)Common TM document types across the Countries and Company Codes

OR

2)Different TM document types across the Countries and Company Codes

3) Different TM document types across the Countries only, irrespective of Company codes

Hi Rogerio,

Thank you for the information.

I have checked the Note 3065464 and found that Conditions are applicable for basic TM.

Thank you.

No use the BRF+ /SCMTMS/TOR_ORGUNIT for it with the values you need to determine

Hi Azzez

You can determine the Org. Unit based in a BRF+ Condition in FO/FB Doc.Types.If you use the functionality of this Oss Note which has introduce the check's in the freight Documents will derive the Company code automatically.

with that allow to user the same FO/FB doc type in almost scenario where the paying company is the same which has the demand from ERP using the same FDS Doc type

Only for the Intercompany you need to use separated FO/FB and FSD type. for change the plant according the payer of the transport.

Most of the other process you can cover using BRF+ in TM.

Dear Rogerio,

So we don't need to maintain Purch.Org and Purch.Grp in the Freight Order Type?

Hi Azeez,

In terms of decision and approach you might consider what was defined on SD/MM/LE side as global design.

Usually I try to follow the global design from "S4" side as that facilitated to understand the scope also consider that have document per country or CC will force you to have many documents as Country/CC are in live in the project.

Example: Consider the BRF+ conditions to determine the FU doc types or FO/FB doc Types how many entries will be request with doc type are per Country/CC which could affect the performance..

I suggest example for FU doc types. One for Inbound, One for Outbound etc. Same for FO like for Customer Pick-up.,etc this can be considering as the parameters in terms of customizing need for each scenario by doc type.

Best regards

Rogerio

Hi Rogerio,

Thank you for the reply.

As you suggest to go with Option1 - Common TM document types across the Countries and Company Codes.

Then how to determine the Org.Unit for multiple company codes?

How about Freight Settlement ?

Any other complexity such as compliance with laws and regulations in each country?

Request your valuable suggestion.

Thank you.
