Manual Transportation Planning – Outbound (4MO)
This scope item supports your company´s transportation planning, execution, and monitoring in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
The sales-order-based transportation demands (freight units) are built considering transportation constraints. Created freight units are planned using the transportation cockpit.
Charges for transporting the cargo are calculated based on rates maintained in a released freight agreement.
Based on the communication with the assigned carrier responsible for the execution of the transportation, the relevant subcontracting status is reported.
Delivery creation is triggered from the freight order based on the consolidation information.
Freight costs in the freight order are broken down. The aggregated freight costs of the order are shared to the delivery item level based on its gross weight.
After the picking process is completed, the arrival and check-in of the truck is reported. After completing the physical loading process, the check-out and the departure of the truck is reported to enable the posting of accruals.
When the posting of the goods issue is done, the arrival of the truck at customer location is reported.
A billing document is created that contains the transportation costs to be billed to the customer.
After the confirmation of a freight order for posting, the system automatically posts the freight costs to Financial Accounting for accruals. During the posting process, freight orders can be monitored for any errors during the posting process to resolve them.
The invoice received from the carrier is finally verified against the costs calculated in the freight order.
