Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the SAP Transportation Management mainly for tasks related to logistics like lane creation, requisites for transportation carriers, movement of inventory from one point another with best mode of transport, also select the vendor according to rates inputted in the system and also the right lane to select. Basically, as used case it reduces the workload and makes the job easier for the user to use it according to task at hand

Pros

  • It helps to create the transportation carrier's requisites with all detailed required to create the PO for the same
  • Based on the choice of transportation required like for Transportation of goods from warehouse I want to use vehicle it suggests me out of list which to select based on load size the ideal match
  • Lane creation, helps me to set up the proper lane for transportation and also according to network mapping for convenience

Cons

  • Data loading for special codes takes long time to load even with mass load functionality given the size of data
  • If the process gets interrupted due to net issue you are back to square one and work once again
  • Integration of this software with other WMS for visibility of stock transfer orders and closure of overall inbound to outbound

Return on Investment

  • The planning of PR to PO reduced from 1-2 days to 1-2 min once the PR is placed

  • Lane creation from before the SAP used to take 2hours, now with all data available it takes 10-15 mins
