TM: Using field LIFNR (VENDOR) in the Freight Order CARRIER Selection instead of BP

[mcaratti]

Hello community,

I need help with SAP TM embedded feature.

My customer is using BP configuration with all ROL types associated (general + customer + vendor + carrier + transport). I am using that BP number in my FO document as my carrier, but they changed the CVI and for all types of settlement documents flow (ME21N + HES + so on) they are using VENDOR (LIFNR) number and not the BP number.

How can I select the VENDOR field (LIFNR) instead of the BP number in my TM documents to create all documents flow to complete the process?

Thanks!!!! (edited)

Hi,

if you still able to use the BP in TM process as normal BP role carrier, I suggest you to keep it standard.

Carrier will populated in TM as long them are open as BP role "carrier" between FU/FO/FSD and PO Service.

If somehow the integration with other process is take as you mentioned (LIFNR) will apply to other process as ME21N etc.

In TM there is a structure you can use to search a BP with different criteria's go to Tx BOBT and open /SCMTMS/BUPA.
