SAP TM Private Cloud Implementation - Query

[Saurabh_Mittal43]

Hi TM experts,

We have S/4 HANA on premise 2021 version and currently we are using on premise TMS solution which integrates with Blue Yonder. Now, the client wants to implement SAP TM - Private cloud edition and replace Blue Yonder. 

I have the below queries:

1. What data transfer technique will be used to exchange the data between S/4 on premise and TM private cloud (Outbound and Inbound, both)? Will it be IDoc or Proxies and why? What is the SAPs recommendation?

2. Based on the above data transfer technique used, how middleware like Mulesoft & Bizlink will play a role in data transfer?

Urgent response awaited! Thank you in advance!

Hello Saurabh,

For embedded deploy, SAP Transportation Management uses bgRFC concept.

I advise you to first understand the concept of bgRFC: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_NETWEAVER_AS_ABAP_751_IP/753088fc00704d0a80e7fbd6803c8adb/48927c2caa6b...

After that, you  can see more detail how bgRFC works int TM: https://me.sap.com/notes/2930217

bgRFC is a technique used by TM to implement deferred processing. As such bgRFC is not really an integration functionality. bgRFC is used both in embedded and side-by-side TM deployments.
