SAP TM Master Data –Overview

Existing master data elements from the SAP SCM system are re-used in SAP TM

SAP TM wraps master data into business objects in order to allowdistinct and well-defined access to these elements

Geography is based on the following main elements:Locations Transshipment locationsIncoterm locationsTransportation lanesTransportation zones

Other master data:ProductsCapacities, such as resources, schedules (e.g. sailing schedules), driversOrganizations and business partners (separate chapter)

Master data is needed to prepare the system for the operational aspects of conducting business. In most cases, master data will not be created by the end user. During operations, power users might add new master data like products and locations according to a pre-defined process.

SAP TM Master Data –Overview – ‘Lean’ Master Data

ERP customers have the option of automatically creating a variety of master data elements via the Core Interface (CIF); examples include locations, business partners, or products (material masters)

Logistics service providers in particular may not have an ERP system or might not use SAP ERP for logistics purposes. In this case, SAP TM provides the option of either creating certain master data elements in SAP TM itself, or working with basic standard code lists.

SAP TM Master Data –Locations – One-Time Location

One-time locations can be created in two ways:

Manually by the user on the shipment/freight request UIAutomatically by the system based on address data of an incoming request to SAP TM

A temporary location is created in SAP TM, which can be deleted later in batch (see notes)An existing business partner (e.g. shipper, consignee) is needed in order to make the association of the new address

Transaction data

Shipment requestFreight request

One-time location One-time location

If the shipment request refers to

an existing location then this location is used

The deletion of one-time ship-to locations is included in the re-organization job for locations. This batch job checks for the existence of orders for this location. Only if no orders, e.g. sales orders, deliveries, shipments, exists anymore this location is deleted. Report to delete locations /SAPAPO/DELETE_LOCATIONS.

OSTA: Override ship to address (sometimes also called One time Ship to Address.

Address validation will not be performed, e.g. Berliner Street and Breliner Street are different streets

SAP TM Master Data –Locations – Geocoding 1/2

A geocoder determines the geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude) from a given address.In SAP TM, three levels of geocoding are possible:

Standard (SAP0) (included in SAP TM software license)Zip code (Internet Graphics Server) comes from PTV (included in SAP TM software license)Full addresses (Internet Graphics Server) (add. license)

Mileage software (PC Miler, ALK) can be integrated on a custom basis via existing Web services.

These coordinates are used to determine distances between locations.

The geocoding program supplied by SAP determines the longitude and latitude based on the country and region codes.

PTV (Karlsruhe, Germany)

Prerequisites for level 2 and 3:Install the geocoding program on a WINDOWS ServerEstablish an RFC-Connection to the geocoder

See note 433785 for explanation about installing a third party geocoder

SAP TM Master Data –Locations – Geocoding 2/2

Prerequisites for all levels:Registering geocodingprogram in the system

Assigning geocodingprogram to countries

Assigning relevant address fields for geocoding

To test the geocoder, run report GEOCODING_FIRST.

It is possible to use more than one geo-coding program.

It is possible to set up the system for using specific geo-coding programs for specific countries.

After geocoding you find the coordinates in the location master data on the tab general

Geocoding Settings are done in configuration:

SAP TM Master Data –Locations – Alternative Identifiers 1/2

Alternative IdentifiersDefinition of alternative identifiers for locations like customers, terminals, sea ports, airports, e.g. based on an official agency code list like IATA-code list, UN code list…Users can search for locations by alternative identifiers in any SAP TM transaction.Agency Code Lists

If an agency is defined via a 3-digit agency code (United Nations EDIFACT data element 3055 DE 3055), these codes can be used for external communication or to visualize it on certain UI screens

Project-Based Code ListsCan be used for input help search on locations

In the logistics world, one particular location (e.g. port, airport, terminals) might be identified by different location codes. Oftentimes agencies define standard location code lists or a company might work with its own particular identifiers. SAP TM needs to allow users to work with different location codes.

New in SAP TM 7.0

Excerpt from IMG:

Define location scheme agencies

This configuration is optional. The agencies that you define must represent organizations that maintain standardized identification schemes for locations. For more information, see the 'Requirements' section.

Define alternative location identifier types (ALI types)

ALI types distinguish between several identification schemes that can be used to identify locations and can therefore be used to assign alternative location identifiers to locations.

Define code lists for specific ALI types

For each ALI type, you can create a code list. Code lists are useful for project-specific identification schemes or if you intend to restrict the identifiers to a subset of a standardized identification scheme.

If you define a code list, you have to select the identifiers that refer to the ALI type from the code list. If you do not define a code list, you can freely choose the identifiers.

SAP TM Master Data –Means of Transport Versus Vehicle Resources

Mode of

Transport

Means of Transport (MTr)

Vehicle Resources

Mode of TransportType of transport, e.g. road or sea

MTrMethod of transportExamples: rail, car, truck, refrigerated truck, LTL, FTL, barge, vessel

Vehicle ResourcesExamples: maintenance of capacities, depot locations, and other settings for individual vehicles

In addition a means of transport can be assigned to a transportation mode (see maintenance of MTr)

Transportation ModeThe Transportation Mode is a code defined to indicate the actual ‘mode’ of

transportation. This code is assigned to the Transport Method. The Transportation Mode in SAP TM should correspond to the Transportation Mode used in the ERP System (ERP IMG: Logistics Execution Transportation Basic Transportation Functions Routes Define Routes Define Modes of Transport).

Means of TransportThe Means of Transport is used to represent a ‘method’ of transportation such as a 48’

truck with full truck load capacity or refrigerated truck. The Means of Transport are assigned to Vehicle Resources in SAP TM master data. In addition, the Means of Transport will be assigned to Transportation Lanes.

Vehicle ResourcesVehicle Resources are used to represent a unit of transportation and its capacity and

planning parameters.A Vehicle Resource is independent of a particular carrier.

SAP TM Master Data –Means of Transport (MTr) - Overview

Means of TransportRepresents a ‘class’ of vehiclesThe MTr is used to define cost structures and geographical availability (via the concept of transportation lanes)Used to determine whether a resource is part of your own fleet or that of an external providerIn case of an external provider, an MTrcan be defined as a multiresource, e.g. 10 trucks exist for this MTr (see separate slide)Defines whether a resource is traveling based on a fixed schedule, e.g. sailing or rail schedule (see separate slide)Defines if GIS is used or an average speedAn MTr can be passive, e.g. a trailer that needs to be pulled by a tractorAn MTr can have zero capacity, e.g. for a tractor that is used to pull a trailer

GIS: Geographical Information system, can determine the speed based on detailed map information, if GIS is used then the speed for slow, average and high speed needs to be determined

Example for MTr: ship, aircraft, truck15to, truck25to

A MTr represents refrigerated trucks with a specific cost structure and geographicavailabilty.

Within this group several vehicle resources exists:3 trucks with capacity of 3500 KG 2 trucks with capacity of 3600 KGAll trucks do have the same geographical availibilty and the same cost structure.

SAP TM Master Data –Means of Transport & Geography

Where the MTr is available (from where to where)What the costs are for the MTr in this region/connectionWhich carriers are available for the MTr in this region/connectionHow the TSP/carrier selection is to be performed for this MTr in this region/connection

A means of transport is used in connection with a transportation lane to define the following business rules:

For more details see the slides about transportation lanes following later in this chapter

'Own means of transport’Vehicles belonging to a MTr which has the flag 'Own means of transport’ can have a

depot location. Depending on customizing setting the optimizer will make sure the Resource starts and ends at this depot location within one optimization run.

To use the Own-means-of-transport functionality you have to set the flag in the means-of-transport and assign a location to the resource master data

For planning: A planned shipment always starts at the depot location (independent of the flag of the MTr)On completion of the shipment planned by the optimizer, the vehicle must always return to the depot location (if the flag on the MTr is set)

Handling resources (could also be a multiresource)

SAP TM Master Data –Resources – Overview

Vehicle resourceTransportation unit resource

Resources are objects that transport or handle the goods.

Driver

Path: SAP menu Transportation Management-> Master Data Resource

A vehicle resource always represents a specific vehicle, for example:Double-axis truck with maximal number of pallets 20, 12 tons weight capacity, 37 m3.Unloading forklift with a capacity of 100 tons per hours.

Calendar resources are used to model when a plant is available for loading/unloading. They are assigned to a location.

Resources specify the available capacity and the hours on which they can be operated

Resources can have different capacity dimensions and can be linked to a schedule. They can contain shifts and are always assigned to a MTr

Resources must be created in SAP TM, can not be transferred from ERP via CIF

Single- or Multiresources are used to model loading and unloading resources (inbound/outbound).

A single resource allows one parallel loading / unloading activities while a multi resourcemodels several loading / unloading activities. A single resource can only have two different situations: Either it is loaded with an activity or it is not loaded at all.

Multi resources are used to map resources on which several activities can be carried out at a time. The maximum number of activities that can be scheduled at the same time depends on the organizational or technical conditions for the resource.

A Handling Resource (Resource Type H) is a single- or multi-resourceCapacities in the form of available working hours including downtimes are specified for the

handling resource

SAP TM Master Data –Vehicle Resource

Vehicle ResourcesModel the vehicles that are physically available to transport and move goodsDepend on the MTr

Can move by itself (‘active’) or rely on another resource to be pulled (‘passive’)Can be modeled with or without capacityActive resource with no capacity

Passive resource with capacity

MTr combinations can be used to model a truck-and-trailer combinationMultiresources can be used to model an external fleet in one step

Active resource with capacity

An instance of a particular means of transport, or a group of identical instances of means of transport that can provide transportation services.

You use this business object to map the capacity and availability of vehicles that you want to use for transportation.

You can choose up to eight dimensions and units of measurement to describe the capacity (Mass and Volume are predefined by default). Planning can only take the vehicle capacity into account if these correspond to the dimensions and units of measurement that you have defined in a freight unit building rule.

SAP TM Master Data –Multiresources (external Resources)

2008 Wipro Ltd

Business Requirement:Case 1: A company has a lot of resources of the same type and does not need to plan on individual resources as the resource master maintenance causes quite a lot of effort.

Case 2: A non-asset-based logistics service provider that subcontracts all its transports to a third-party carrier may not need to maintain data for resources of a third party.

Definition of resources of the same type in one step, e.g. 10 trucksThe concept of multiresourcesenables the customer to maintain only one resource master and to specify how many resources of that type (MTr) are actually (i.e. physically) available, or alternatively there is no restriction at all on the number of resources available

SAP TM Master Data –Calculation of Distance and Duration

Runtime Geo Distance 80 X = Actual Runtime Distance 104Maint. Master Lane 130

Master Geo Distance 100

Distance / Average Speed Per Unit = Duration

With GIS

By connecting the GIS to the Internet Graphics Server (IGS), distance and duration time can be calculated for each means of transport within a transportation lane using exact road details

Without GIS (Geographical Information System)

SAP TM will compute the runtime lanes during optimization. Corresponding transportation lanes will be generated between all locations assigned to the transportation zones. In the process, the cost information is taken from the transportation lanes maintained. The distance/duration is calculated according to the settings or taken from the transportation lane maintained.

The maintained distance in the Master Lane includes a factor for road/street map variability. The Factor is obtained from the Means of Transport. This factor establishes the proportion between the linear distance between two locations and the actual distance covered by the vehicle transporting goods between them.

Included in the Means of Transport is the Average Speed of the transport method. The Runtime distance is divided by the average speed to calculate the estimated Duration.

NOTE: If an external Geographical Information System is used to calculate the distances, these distances are stored in a separate Table (/SAPAPO/TRDIDUPS) and is NOT calculated at runtime.

In the means-of-transport you flag if this MOT is calculated by a GIS system. If the flag is not set the aerial distance is used

If the GIS flag is set then the low, medium, high average speed is used. GIS systems typically categorize streets by “slow”, “medium”, or “fast”.

SAP TM Master Data – Single Generation of GIS Distances and Durations

Determines distance and duration according to the GIS mode as specified in the means of transport. Duration is determined according to the velocities maintained for the means of transport.

Displays the GIS quality of the calculated proposals.

0 = Aerial distance1000 = Manually maintained

Any other entries represent specific GIS providers.

100 = e.g. PTV 110 = e.g. ESRI

44

© SAP 2009 / Page 44

SAP TM Master Data –Mass Generation of GIS Distances and Durations

Distances and durations are calculated in a job using the GIS server.

They are stored in table /SAPAPO/TRDIDUPS.

If a location is added or modified, this transaction needs to be executed again to update the GIS information.

For more information, see notes page on transaction /SAPAPO/TR_IGS_BPSEL.

Transaction /SAPAPO/TR_IGS_BPSEL

This transaction obtains distance and duration information for the specified scope (lanes and means of transport) from the connected GIS server and stores the results in table SAPAPO/TRDIDUPS. When runtime lanes are created later on during an optimization run, the distance and duration are obtained from this table.

Note: The job cannot be terminated without losing the data. Once the job is started all old records are deleted, if the job is started with this setting.

SAP TM Master Data –Transportation Zones

Can group locations as well as other zones.Include one-time locationsInclude zones with their locations andsubzonesExample:

All locations that are supplied by the same warehouse are grouped into a transportation zone.

The following zone types are possible:Direct Zone – locations are assigned directly to a zonePostal Code Zone – specified by a postal code or postal code rangeRegion Zone – specified by a country or region, e.g. state of Florida in the USMixed Zone – a combination of the three other zone types

Transportation zones can dramatically reduce the effort needed to model your geographic network; by grouping locations into zones, you can effectively reduce master data volume in the SAP TM system.

If SAP ERP integration is used then the transportation zones are automatically created from the address of the location and the location is automatically assigned to the transportation zone
