SAP S/4HANA TM (Transportation Management)

About SAP S/4HANA TM (Transportation Management)

A warm welcome to the SAP S/4HANA TM (Transportation Management) course by Uplatz.

S/4HANA introduced an additional deployment option for SAP Transportation Management where TM functionality runs on the same S/4HANA instance as the ERP functionality. In other words, it is no longer necessary to have a separate set of systems/servers/databases for SAP Transportation, as is the case with the classic side-by-side deployment option of SAP TM that we have seen to date.

Uplatz offers this SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management Training with comprehensive coverage of the S/4HANA embedded TM module. This SAP S/4HANA TM course will help you to understand each stage of SAP Transportation Management implementation and will enable you to use the system in your role as a SAP TM consultant or business user. In this course you will also gain an overview of the key business transactions and system capabilities to enable you to design the processes you will use within your own organization.

This SAP S/4HANA training will provide you skills to support processes within TM such as Order Management, Transportation Planning, Subcontracting, Execution, Charge Calculation and Settlement.

Advantages of SAP S/4HANA Embedded TM

Smaller database and hardware footprint

Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) due to smaller replication and monitoring effort

Enhanced user experience leveraging S/4HANA "look and feel" and Fiori UI

Remove the need to duplicate ERP customer, vendor and material master data into business partners and products in TM, thereby removing the need for the Core Interface (CIF). ERP and TM share a single set of harmonized master data objects.

Real-time embedded analytics

Integration with new S/4HANA Enterprise Management for managing transportation-related equipment

Remove the need to duplicate ERP orders and deliveries into Order-based Transportation Requirement (OTR) and Delivery-based Transportation Requirement (DTR) documents in TM. OTR and DTR documents are no longer necessary. Orders and deliveries are able to convert directly into Freight Units, Freight Orders, etc.
