Planning of External Transportation Requirements (4OZ)

This scope item supports your company´s transportation planning and execution.

The sales order-based transportation demand (freight unit) is created in SAP S/4HANA Cloud considering transportation constraints. The freight unit is replicated at the same time to the connected SAP S/4HANA on-premise system.

In the SAP S/4HANA on-premise system, the transportation planner creates a freight order and assigns the freight unit received from SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Additionally, the transportation planner assigns a carrier to the freight order as the responsible party to execute the transportation of the goods.

When the transportation planner is done with the planning activities, the transportation planner saves the freight order. The freight order is automatically replicated to SAP S/4HANA Cloud for further processing.
