The target of the transportation planning process is to optimize the inbound, outbound and intercompany transportation. The Transportation Management scenario comprises the following main processes: Document entry in ERP Dynamic route determination Vehicle Scheduling Carrier Selection Collaborative Transportation Planning Transfer Deliveries and Shipments to ERP Execute Shipment in ERP

SAP AG 2008

The target of the transportation planning process is to optimize the inbound or outbound transportation demand between a plant/DC and different other locations such as suppliers and customers. The optimization covers the own fleet as well as carrier vehicles. Carrier selection can be executed to select carriers based on least cost, business share and/or priority. The Transportation Management scenario comprises the following main processes: •

Document entry

•

Dynamic route determination

•

Vehicle Scheduling

•

Carrier Selection

•

Collaborative Transportation Planning

•

Tendering

•

Transfer Deliveries and Shipments to ERP

•

Execute Shipment in ERP by picking and packing deliveries, goods issue posting, set status shipment end and archive shipments.

SAP AG 2008

The transportation-relevant information is copied from the order item into the outbound delivery header. It can, therefore, be used as the split criteria for outbound deliveries. You cannot, for example, put two order items with different shipping types into one outbound delivery. (set data transfer and split criteria in copying control “order delivery”.) Order relevant transportation data: •

Means of transport: Indicates the specific vehicle type with which the goods are to be transported, such as 20t truck, ship or bulk container. Material master records with a Material Type of Packaging Material are maintained for means of transport.

•

Shipping type: You can use this to define the characteristics of the mode of transport, such as road, rail, or sea.

When creating shipment documents you can use transportation-relevant information as selection criteria. This means that you can, for example, group deliveries with means-of-transport type “truck” and means of transport “small truck” into one shipment. Freight Cost Simulation / Shipment Monitoring When you are planning the shipments, the capacity of the means of transport e.g. truck is checked by the system. If this capacity is exceeded, you will receive a warning. Shipment cost document -> copy into customer invoice

Sales orders, outbound deliveries and shipments can be used to create transportation demand in TP/VS. The TP/VS planning process using sales order data will create the delivery and the shipment documents in the ERP system. The TP/VS planning process does not make any changes to the sales documents that are in the ERP system. Generally, transportation-related changes made to an ERP document is updated in the corresponding TP/VS document.

Purchase Orders, Stock Transport Orders, Inbound Deliveries and Shipment documents can be used to plan inbound transportation demand. When Purchase Orders/Stock Transport Orders are provided to TP/VS for planning, TP/VS will create the Inbound Delivery and Inbound Shipment document data for the ERP System. Transportation demands from Supply Network Planning (SNP) can also be used in TP/VS for planning. Transportation relevant changes made to an ERP document are updated in the corresponding TP/VS document.

At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Describe the Transportation Management System functions. • List the documents that are used in the TMS components. • Outline the functions provided by the APO TP/VS planning component. The transportation function in a business can be divided into two fundamental steps: Planning and Execution. In an ECC (ERP) and APO environment the planning step is carried out in APO and the execution step is performed in the ECC (ERP) system. To perform these steps it is important to understand the functions provided in each system. 1-1

Reflects the location or the group of people that is responsible for carrying out the shipping activities. Each delivery is processed by a single shipping point. A shipping point is assigned to one or more plants. A shipping point can be further sub-divided into loading points. Determination of shipping point is via Shipping Condition (customer), Loading group (MM) and plant. Dresden

SAP AG 2008

The shipping point is the part of the company responsible for the type of shipping, the necessary shipping materials and the means of transport. The most important organizational element for shipping is the shipping point. You can define a user-specific default value for the shipping point in the user parameter VST.

The transportation planning point is the central point within the company that plans, processes, and monitors shipments. It can be a location or a group of people responsible for processing. Each shipment is created and processed by a single transportation planning point. You can freely define the transportation planning points to meet your corporate requirements, for example, in terms of the location or the mode of transport. The transportation planning point is defined for a specific company code in Customizing. This assignment of the planning point to the company code is important for shipment cost calculation and settlement.

SAP AG 2008

A route is the journey to be covered between a departure point and a destination and is represented by the route code. A route can be defined in great detail and consist of one or more individual stages, but it can also be a general description or even simply a destination area. Like a shipment stage, a stage can be a leg, a load transfer point, or a border crossing point. Example: The above route consists of 5 stages - 3 legs, 1 load transfer point, and 1 border crossing point. The route code is determined for each line item in a sales order and is copied into the header of the outbound delivery document(s) created from the sales order. Inbound delivery documents do not require a route code but one may be entered manually. The route code is not used by APO TP/VS because TP/VS determine the route stages based on the planning criteria associated with transportation lanes. Routes in ERP are only required to identify the transportation documents as relevant for shipment. Multimode APO transports or APO transports with transshipment points are created with several shipment stages in ERP. In ERP they are identified as 'generated manually'. A transfer of the routes from ERP to APO does not occur. Currently a report or something similar is not available.

You may define routes in Customizing or in LE master data maintenance. A route code can contain a number of fields of information that are important to the shipment, for example, distance, transportation lead time, travel duration, shipping type, service agent. When TP/VS is used for transportation planning, it will determine the route itinerary; therefore, stages are not necessary to be predefined for the route and should not be copied into the shipment document. You set transportation relevance for the route in Customizing for Transportation. The route must be set for transportation relevance if it will be used in sales orders and deliveries to be planned in TP/VS.

The shipment document is the central document that is used to model shipments in the ERP System. It contains all information necessary for organizing and carrying out a shipment. The shipment document provides the following functions: •

Combining inbound deliveries to form inbound shipments

•

Combining outbound deliveries to form outbound shipments

•

Assigning service agents, modes of transport, shipment types, and so on

•

Planning and monitoring deadlines

•

Specifying shipment stages

•

•

Recording shipment-relevant texts

•

Recording partner information

Using TP/VS, shipments are created by combining deliveries within APO. Also carriers and transportation methods are assigned to the shipments. Then they are transferred to ERP. In ERP they contain the data which are maintained in APO.

The transportation relevance of the delivery type, the delivery item category, and the route in the delivery controls whether a shipment can be created or not. So that a shipment can be created, the delivery type must be set as relevant for transportation. Similarly, at least one delivery item category in the delivery must be relevant for transportation. The outbound delivery must contain a route code that is relevant for transportation (does not apply to inbound deliveries). A route is defined as the connection between a point of departure and a destination point with several possible points in between. If all three (or two in the case of inbound deliveries) conditions are met, the delivery has transportation planning status A, which means that the delivery document is relevant for transportation. You set transportation relevance in Customizing for Transportation.

You can select deliveries due for shipping using different selection criteria and create the documents manually. You can also use a planning proposal. This is a pre-defined profile according to whose rules, deliveries are automatically combined into shipments and completed with data. The system can also create shipments automatically. To do this, you use a collective processing run that is executed online or in batch mode. The system creates one or more shipment documents according to different processing rules. If the shipments are created and optimized by an external transportation planning system such as APO TP/VS, you can link to this system with an interface. In the ERP to APO environment this interface is called the “Core Interface” or “CIF”.

When the transportation activities such as planning, checking in, loading, and so on, are finished, you can set a status. As soon as the status is set, the activity is considered completed. Thus you always know the current processing status of a shipment and can quickly provide information. You can set the status by: •

Choosing the corresponding pushbutton; the current date is adopted as the actual date.

•

Entering the actual date; the status is then set by the system.

A traffic light symbol displays the overall status of the shipment. •

Red: Planned status is set.

•

Yellow: Check-in / Loading Start / Loading End status is set

•

Green: Shipment completion / Shipment Start / Shipment End status is set

Note: For shipment cost calculation, however, status Planned must be set as a minimum. Note: The planned status is automatically set if you transfer shipments from TP/VS to ERP.

Transportation Group An indicator that summarizes the characteristics of a material that are relevant for transportation. Used for automatic route determination during sales order and delivery creation. Each material is assigned to a transportation group. For example, a transportation group can use characteristics such as "bulky goods" or "must be refrigerated." Transportation Zone A Transportation Zone where the ship-to party is located and that is used by the system as a factor for determining the route. Grouping of ship-from locations or ship-to locations from or to which goods are delivered. In sales and distribution it represents the regional zone of the goods recipient, in purchasing the regional zone of the supplier.

SAP AG 2008

For example, transportation zones can be defined according to postal code areas. If a transportation zone is assigned to a customer e.g. the system automatically proposes a suitable route by using the transportation zone of the goods recipient in combination with other information, such as the Countries of origin and destination, shipping conditions, transportation group.

SAP AG 2008

If actual freight rates are going to be used to determine Transportation Service Providers in TP/VS, shipment costing related configuration settings must be made in the ERP system. These settings must be made and the corresponding freight rates must be entered because TP/VS does not maintain any freight costing data or configuration. When TSP’s are to be selected based on “external”/actual freight rates, TP/VS send a request to ERP to perform a simulated shipment costing calculation for the freight units. ERP will create a simulated shipment document and a corresponding shipment cost document that contains the values computed based on the freight rating and shipment costing pricing procedure settings.

Exercises Unit: ERP Organizational Units, Shipments and Integration Topic: Shipment Costing and TP/VS-related customizing At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Make the customizing settings necessary to assign your APO shipment types to a shipment cost type. • Make the relevant customizing settings necessary to perform shipment costing for shipments planned in APO TP/VS and provide the ability to perform Transportation Service Provider (TSP) selection in TP/VS using freight rates established in the ERP System. • Set up Pricing Procedure determination in Shipment Costing. The ability to perform shipment costing for both inbound and outbound shipments and to provide the ability to influence TSP selection based on actual freight rates are significant benefits of using the ERP Transportation application combined with the APO TP/VS component. As a member of the TP/VS project team you will need make the required customizing settings in the ERP System to facilitate these functions. 3-1

Assign your two new Shipment Types AI## and AO## to Shipment Cost Type 0001 in ECC Customizing. 3-1-1

Set the Shipment Header, Leg, Load Transfer Point and Border Crossing Cost Types as Relevant for shipment costs for each assignment.

3-2

Because you will be using tariff zone codes in your freight rates for shipment costing, you must update the tariff zone determination table to include your new Transportation Planning Point for each of your TSP’s. You have three TSP’s that have rate established for shipment costing and TSP determination in TP/VS: 1058, 1925 and 1930. These TSP’s are also used for shipments created for Transportation Planning Point 1000, so you can "copy as" the existing entries to your Transportation Planning Point AP##. You should also copy all sub-items in the entry.

Exercises Unit: ERP Organizational Units, Shipments and Integration Topic: Stock Transport-related customizing At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Make the required, basic customizing settings required for stock transport processing. When a new plant (s) is/are established in ERP, there are some fundamental settings required to facilitate the processing of stock transports both inter- and intra-company. These settings are independent of TP/VS. You must make these settings before stock transport orders are created in the ERP System.

4-1

To complete the required customizing settings, perform the following steps: 4-1-1

Copy the customer master record (1187) representing Plant 1000, to a new customer master record, T-S090##. You must copy all views (General, Company and Sales Area) to your new customer master.

4-1-2

Copy the customer master record (22000) representing Plant 2200, to a new customer master record, T-S200##. You must copy all views (General, Company and Sales Area) to your new customer master.

4-1-3

Update the vendor master record for vendor T-S100## that represents plant 12## for intercompany stock transport orders. The Plant code for plant 12## must be entered in the Additional Purchasing Data view.

4-1-4

Update the Plant table in Stock Transport customizing with your new customer master for Plant 12##. Also, update the Plant table for Plant 22## with the customer account number you just created for the plant, T-S200##.

Exercises Unit: ERP Organizational Units, Shipments and Integration Topic: Settings Necessary for Integration At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Create the Packaging Materials needed for APO TP/VS planning and integration with the ERP System. When APO TP/VS creates shipment documents and they are subsequently transferred to the ERP System for execution, the Transportation Methods codes from TP/VS are translated into corresponding ERP packaging materials in the shipment document. These packaging materials must exist in the ERP Material Master. 5-1

You can have a handling unit representing the shipment created automatically in the shipments that are published to the ERP system by TP/VS. To facilitate this you must have the packaging materials representing the means of transport created in the ERP material master. You have decided to do this for your implementation of TP/VS. Create three packaging material master records, based on information in the following table: Material Number

Because you will be using tariff zone codes in your freight rates for shipment costing, you must update the tariff zone determination table to include your new Transportation Planning Point for each of your TSP’s. You have three TSP’s that have rates established for shipment costing and TSP determination in TP/VS: 1058, 1925 and 1930. These TSP’s are also used for shipments created for Transportation Planning Point 1000, so you can "copy as" the existing entries to your Transportation Planning Point AP##. You should also copy all sub-items in the entry. Go to ERP IMG: Logistics Execution → Transportation → Shipment Costs → Basic Functions → Define and Assign Tariff Zones Under the Dialog Structure select the line: Define organizational key for tariff zone assigs Select the records in TPPt 1000 for Service Agents: 1058, 1925 and 1930.

Recommendation: One integration model per object type. The master data that the system will transfer for the first time (initial transfer), from the ERP System into the SCM System, is defined in an integration model. The ERP System generates this integration model (transaction CFM1). An integration model is uniquely defined by its name and application. It is useful to create several integration models with the same name but as different applications. Ensure that the data pools of your integration models are generally not too big. This enables you to handle errors more easily. The target system that you specify in the integration model determines the SCM System that the master data is transferred into. The target system is a logical (SCM) system that must have a RFC connection. Finally, you use a particular integration model to specify which master data you want the system to transfer. To do so, you first specify the master data types that flow into the integration model. In the second step, you specify the selection criteria to be used for the selection of the individual master data documents in the ERP System. You complete the generation of the integration model by "executing" the model (this means that the data objects of the model are compiled) and then you save it.

For APO locations, you can maintain the short text in several languages (in contrast with the plant in ERP, for example), so that after logon in a certain language, this language will appear. As a rule, APO locations contain many additional planning parameters that have no equivalents in ERP. You can then maintain these parameters in APO. The system cannot transfer them from the ERP.

For this, you use the corresponding entry in the Customizing table (Customizing step Assign Node Type - Maintain Plant in the settings of DRP Customizing). When you transfer plants into APO that are defined in the ERP as distribution centers, the system transfers them to location type 1002 (distribution center).

The system transfers customers from the ERP as locations with type 1010 (Customer). The system creates sales orders in the ERP and transfers them as transaction data into APO. When the system transfers a customer master from the ERP into APO, the actual customer location is transferred, as is the transportation zone that is assigned to a customer in the ERP, as location type 1005 (transportation zone). You then enter the missing data for use with this transportation zone in the APO planning. You also need a transportation relevant hierarchy. You can maintain the hierarchy in two ways: •

Implement it manually in APO by attaching the relevant locations in the APO system to the hierarchy,

•

or you assign the customers in ERP to a transportation zone and transfer the customers to APO: the transportation zones are then created automatically in APO and the corresponding hierarchy entries are created.

The system transfers vendors from the ERP as locations with type 1011 (vendor). Note: If the vendor and the customer have the same number in the ERP System (for example, customer and vendor 1000), then you must rename one of them in the APO inbox, using the customer exit for the vendor master. (For example, rename the vendor in V1000). Otherwise, you cannot distinguish between the two locations. The vendor must be known in APO in order for the vendor selection to take place in APO. In the ERP System, you must specify which account groups from the ERP vendor master become the carrier in the APO System. •

To do this, choose the CIFVENTYPE table in the data browser (transaction SE16) and confirm with Enter. You branch to the corresponding selection screen.

•

You can use the input help to choose an account group for the ERP System and a location type for the APO System so that data can be transferred between these two systems.

Account group 0005 (carrier) appears as a fixed value, however, you can define other account groups in ERP Customizing. For the location type on the APO side, the carrier (1020) or supplier (1011) appear.

The product master in APO is divided into different views according to topic. The header data (tab pages characteristics, units of measure, classification) is general and valid for more than one location. You can specify the planning of a product in APO, according to the location. Locations can come from plant type or MRP area (according to the ERP storage location MRP areas). Many of the fields for the product are automatically filled when the system transfers a material master from the ERP.

Generally, in TP/VS planning there are various classes of vehicles used to transport goods that have a common set of physical characteristics that must be taken into account during the planning process. These physical characteristics include the mode of transportation such as air, rail, surface and sea. Also, characteristics such as speed, whether there is a company-owned fleet, temperature controlled, and others must be defined for the optimizer.

Path: SAP menu -> Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Master data -> Transportation Lane -> Maintain Means of Transport or Path: IMG -> Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Master Data -> Transportation Lane -> Maintain Means of Transport The Means of Transport is an attribute used to classify vehicles that you assign in APO resource master data. You also assign the Means of Transport to the transportation lane. Relevant Settings: •

Average Speed: Indicates the average speed (kph) of a vehicle. TP/VS uses the average speed together with the distance between two locations to calculate the duration of the shipment.

•

Factor: This factor establishes the proportion between the linear distance between two locations and the actual distance covered by the vehicle transporting goods between them. Based on the linear distance, you can use this factor to estimate the actual travel distance for a vehicle between two locations, and together with the average vehicle speed, you can estimate the transportation time.

•

Setup time: The setup time refers to the minimum time spent by a vehicle at a location in between two trips.

•

Work time: The average vehicle working time defines the average amount of time a vehicle is available on a working day.

•

Transportation Mode: Specifies how a product is transported, for example, by road, rail, sea, or air. You use the transportation mode to select the vehicle resources that are to execute the transportation.

If you set the flag 'Own means of transport' the following applies to vehicles of the means of transport in the optimization : •

You start at the beginning of the optimization run with the last location

•

On completion of the route planned by the optimizer, you must return to the depot location provided that a depot location is maintained (resource master data).

•

In particular there must be a transport link from the last unloading location back to the depot. Otherwise the optimizer cannot carry out these return journeys, and no transport is generated.

•

The entire vehicle route generated by the optimizer generates a single transport. Example: you want to transport two orders from A to B using one vehicle; every order fills the vehicle. The vehicle is assigned to the depot location A. The optimizer plans a route A-B > AB A. The transport includes the sections A-B A-B. With a third-party means of transport you would get 2 transports, A-B in each case.

Transportation planning relevant resources are the four shown above. TP/VS uses vehicle resources, calendar resources and single – or multi-resources. Transport resources are only used by the SCM application Supply Network Planning (SNP) which is used for rough-cut planning. Vehicle resources are used to transport orders or freight units. Vehicle resources are used by TP/VS. A vehicle resource can be defined for each trailer, rail car, barge, ship, etc. that is available for a unit load during TP/VS planning. Each Vehicle resource represents a single fixed capacity of transportation. Calendar resources are used to model when a plant is available for loading/unloading. They are assigned to a location. Single- or Multi-resources are used to model loading and unloading resources (inbound/outbound). They are assigned to a location. Possible loading/unloading resources: •

Forklift

•

Single or multi-resources: capacity for loading/unloading

SAP AG 2008

A single resource allows one parallel loading / unloading activities while a multi resource models several loading / unloading activities. A single resource upon which only one activity can be executed at a time has a dimension-free capacity of one. For single resources the capacity value is fixed in the system. 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 an example of a single- or multi-resource that is used in TP/VS. Loading and unloading equipment such as fork-lifts are examples of this type of resource. Capacities in the form of available working hours including downtimes are specified for the handling resource. TP/VS supports single / single mixed / multi / multi mixed resources

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” table. 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 “Maintain Transport Method” table is the Average Speed of the transport method. The Runtime distance is divided by the average speed to calculate the estimated Duration.

To reduce the number of transportation lanes required in transportation planning it is possible to define “zones” in which shipments are delivered. In most cases these transportation zones represent the “real world” transportation environment in which a group of customers are physically close such that the TP/VS system can consider building consolidated shipments. In transportation planning it is also necessary in many cases to use multiple modes of transportation (truck, rail, ocean, etc.) in moving goods from a source to a destination location. The use of hierarchy structures is required to provide this capability by TP/VS.

You need a transportation zone hierarchy to model transportation zones. In the transportation zone hierarchy, you assign several locations, for example customers, to a transportation zone. Using transportation zones has the advantage that you can reduce the number of transportation lanes that need to be processed. For each transportation zone, you have to create the following two transportation lanes: •

A transportation lane between the start location and the transportation zone (reference transportation lane)

•

A transportation lane for transportation zone to itself, that is, you enter the same transportation zone as both the start and destination location (intra-zone lane) The optimizer creates all of the other transportation lanes during the optimization run (runtime lanes):

•

All of the transportation lanes between the start location and every customer within the transportation zone (based on the reference transportation lane)

•

All of the transportation lanes between the individual customers within the transportation zone (based on the inter-zone lane)

You can maintain the transportation zone hierarchy in two ways Implement it manually in SCM by attaching the relevant locations in the SCM system to the hierarchy (transportation zones as 'level 1 node, customers as subordinated level 2 node), •

Or you assign the customers in ERP to a transportation zone and transfer the customers to SCM: the transportation zones are then created automatically in SCM and the corresponding hierarchy entries are created.

All of the transportation lanes between the start location and every customer within the transportation zone (based on the reference transportation lane)

•

All of the transportation lanes between the individual customers within the transportation zone (based on the inter-zone lane)

The costs that the optimizer takes into account depend on the settings you make in the cost profile. If you enter in the cost profile that the system should use the costs defined for the transportation lane, the optimizer takes into account the costs defined for the reference transportation lane or inter-zone lane. The optimizer also calculates the actual distance and duration of runtime generated transportation lanes on the basis of the values that you define for the reference transportation lane or inter-zone lane. Reference transportation lane: The calculation is either based on the "actual distance to aerial distance" defined for the means of transport (the factor), or the manually defined distance and duration.

Transshipment hierarchies are used to map interlinked shipments in which one or more orders are transferred from on vehicle to another on the way from the source location to the target location. The used vehicles can be assigned to different means of transport, for example transfer from a truck to a ship. These shipments are described as multimodal shipments. In this scenario, the DC represents a load transfer/consolidation point or cross-docking location. Example: •

If unloading points are used, there can be one alternative direct lane between a plant/DC and customer for outbound shipments or vendor and plant/DC for inbound shipments. Which lane is chosen depends on the maintained costs per transportation lane. Note: Parallel / Alternative Transshipment locations can be used with limitation.

Exercises Unit: APO TP/VS master Data Topic: Master Data Integration Model At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Create, generate and activate an ERP Integration Model to transfer, via the CIF, the master data needed in the TP/VS component of the APO system. • Check the master data transfer settings in ERP • Create transportation lanes in APO Master data. • Display APO master data Before setting up the optimization and planning environment in TP/VS the pertinent master and organizational data must exist in APO. Most of this master data will come from the ERP (OLTP) System. Relevant Customer, Vendor/Carrier and Material master data must be transferred and maintained via the CIF. In addition, organizational data such as Plants and Transportation Planning Points must be transferred also. It is your job as a member of the TP/VS implementation team to set up the integration model to perform this initial transfer and any subsequent transfer that will be required. 1-1

Exercises Unit: APO TP/VS Master Data Topic: Transportation Lane Creation At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Create and maintain transportation lanes individually and using the mass maintenance function. • Assign transportation Means of Transport to transportation lanes. The transportation lane represents the path that transportation shipments follow to move merchandise between a source (plant/DC, Vendor) and a target location (customer, plant/DC). Associated with the transportation lanes are the Means of Transport. A critical step in establishing the necessary master data for TP/VS planning is creation of the transportation lanes. In the diagram below is the supply chain model you will set up in the SCM612 exercises to use in performing VS Optimization.

Now that you have your locations defined in APO master data, you will establish the transportation lanes between your plants/DC’s and your customers, vendors and other plants/DC’s. In this exercise we will not create all of the transportation lanes. You will create some additional lanes later in the course to model additional scenarios 3-1-1

Create a pair of transportation lanes between plants 10## and 12##. These lanes can be used in STO processes to transfer stock berween the plants and in a multi-stop shipping scenario where some of the goods from a customer order can be shipped from one plant and the remainder can be picked up from the other plant. Use the planning costs below when assigning the MOT’s to the lanes.

Means of Transport

Means of Transport Cost

FTL##

0.800 per KM

LTL##

1.000 per KM

The transportation lane between plants 10## and 12## will serve as a model in using the mass creation of transportation lanes between plant 12## and several customers. 3-1-2

Create a transportation lane between the STO vendor T-S100## that represents the Dresden plant in intercompany stock transfers and the Paris plant 22##. The Paris subsidiary of your company doesn’t have a large warehouse so they depend on stock transfers from the Dresden plant, so you need to establish a transportation lane to facilitate the transportation planning for these transfers. Assign the means of transports, FTL## and LTL##, to the transportation lane.

3-1-3

You must also set up the transportation lanes to facilitate a multimode transportation scenario between your Dallas plant, 35##, in the U.S. and customers in Europe. The merchandise will be transported by rail from Dallas to the Port of New York, represented by your New York plant 30##. From the port of New York the goods will travel by ship to the Port of Rotterdam represented in your model by DC 25##. From the Port of Rotterdam the goods will travel by truck to their final destination.

3-1-4

In your TP/VS implementation you also want to model a pool distribution scenario when you move goods from your Dresden plant 12## to customers in transportation zones DE-D000070000 and DE-D000060000. To do this you must create a transportation lane from your Dresden Plant, 12##, to transportation lane DE-D000070000. The transportation lane from transportation zone DE-D000070000 to DE-D000060000 has already been created in the system.

Exercises Unit: APO TP/VS Master Data Topic: TSP Hierarchies At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Create a TSP Hierarchy Structure that will be used in multimodal transportation planning. To be able to perform multi-modal transportation planning in which each leg of a transportation shipment has a different physical mode of transportation, a TSP hierarchy must be established. This hierarchy structure indicates the relationships of the source and destination locations in the multi-modal scenario. 5-1

5-2

Create the TSP hierarchy to enable your Dallas plant 35## to ship goods to a customer in Germany via rail, sea and surface trucking. In this scenario the products are transported by rail from the Dallas plant (35##) to the Port of New York (30##). From the Port of New York the goods move by ship to the Port of Rotterdam (25##). The products are offloaded at the Port of Rotterdam and are shipped by truck to the customer (T-S44A##). A transportation hierarchy structure, TSP_HIER, has previously been created in the system for setting up TSP hierarchical relationships. Update the TSP_HIER structure with your plants and the customer to be used to test the mult-modal scenario. Node

Solutions Unit: APO TP/VS Master Data Topic: TSP Hierarchies At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Create a TSP Hierarchy Structure that will be used in multimodal transportation planning. To be able to perform multi-modal transportation planning in which each leg of a transportation shipment has a different physical mode of transportation, a TSP hierarchy must be established. This hierarchy structure indicates the relationships of the source and destination locations in the multi-modal scenario. 5-1

Create the TSP hierarchy to enable your Dallas plant 35## to ship goods to a customer in Germany via rail, sea and surface trucking. In this scenario the products are transported by rail from the Dallas plant (35##) to the Port of New York (30##). From the Port of New York the goods move by ship to the Port of Rotterdam (25##). The products are offloaded at the Port of Rotterdam and are shipped by truck to the customer (T-S44A##). A transportation hierarchy structure, TSP_HIER, has previously been created in the system for setting up TSP hierarchical relationships. Update the TSP_HIER structure with your plants and the customer to be used to test the mult-modal scenario. Node

Supply chain model maintenance

•

Transportation lane maintenance

•

Launching of queries

•

Viewing quota arrangements (Not relevant for TP/VS)

Structure: The layout of the SCE screen is as follows: •

The upper section is a graphical representation of your current model.

•

The mid-section has a number of pushbuttons that you can use to select objects for the work area.

•

The lower section is a tree structure containing all the objects in the work area.

You maintain the supply chain network in the Supply Chain Engineer (SCE), by placing locations on the map and create a network by adding transportation lanes. The lane direction shows the direction of the product transportation flow. The SCE enables you to look at the data that belongs to particular elements in your supply chain. In addition, it allows you to maintain the model objects simultaneously. You can make queries about information via individual or combined elements in your supply chain. For example, you can query a list of all the products belonging to a specific location in your model. At the same time, you can add products to this location or make changes in the location master. © SAP AG

As well as locations and transportation lanes, the supply chain model also allows you to keep track of other supply chain elements. These include products, PPMs (production process models), and resources. During supply chain modeling, you may have to assign or delete large numbers of objects in your model. Many of these objects can have dependent objects assigned to them. To guarantee consistency within the model, you can automatically assign or delete the dependent objects, together with the primary object. Automatic assignment guarantees not only consistency but also enables easier model maintenance.

If you have a lot of master data, viewing it in the network map in the Supply Chain Engineer can become very confusing. To limit your view to only the master data you want to concentrate on, you can define work areas. The work area is used exclusively as a filter for displaying objects in the Engineer. You can maintain different work areas. This enables you to obtain manageable amounts of data. In the work area of the Supply Chain Engineer, you can select: •

For transportation planning, sales orders, purchase orders and stock transport orders must be transferred to SCM using the CIF. An integration model will be created to transfer the transaction data to SCM. Upon completion of the transportation planning for a group of sales orders, the resulting delivery and shipment documents must be transferred to ERP using the publication process. Before this process can be performed, customizing settings in SCM must be completed.

First, the initial data transfer of transaction data is performed via the APO Core Interface (CIF). This is usually followed automatically by the incremental data transfer between ERP and SCM for transaction data objects that are members of an active integration model. This means that new transaction data or changes to existing transaction data are transferred automatically. The SCM transaction data objects are not generally identical to those of the ERP System. The system transfers various ERP transaction data into SCM as orders that differ by ATP category.

2. Activate integration model

Initial transfer of transaction data is performed, followed by a continuous real-time incremental data transfer

SAP AG 2008

You define the integration model that controls the transfer of transaction data in the ERP System. You can find the menu option Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer (the CIF menu) under Logistics -> Central Functions -> Supply Chain Planning Interface. The integration model distinguishes between master data and transaction data. We recommend that you select the two types of data in separate integration models and then transfer them separately. In the integration model, you select the transaction data you want to transfer. You specify the following in the integration model: •

The SCM target system for the data transfer

•

The data objects you want to transfer

You can delete integration models that you no longer need, but note that you must first deactivate them. For any transaction data from the production planning that is contained in an active integration model, the system usually performs a continuous real-time incremental data transfer between the ERP System and SCM.

SAP AG 2008

The transaction data that is to be transferred from the ERP System to the SCM System is defined in an integration model. The ERP System generates this integration model (transaction CFM1). An integration model is uniquely defined by its name and application. It is useful to create several integration models with the same name but as different applications. Ensure that the data pools of your integration models are generally not too big. This enables you to handle errors more easily. The target system that you specify in the integration model determines the SCM System that the transaction data is transferred into. The target system is a logical (SCM) system that must have a RFC connection. The SCM System determines the (ERP) target system to be used for a retransfer from SCM to ERP. You use a particular integration model to specify which transaction data you want to transfer. To do so, you first specify the transaction data types that are to be added to the integration model. Secondly, you specify the selection criteria that will be used to select the individual documents in the ERP System. You complete the generation of the integration model by "executing" the model (this means that the data objects of the model are compiled) and then you save it.

To transfer transaction data between ERP and SCM, you must activate the integration model. You activate an integration model with the transaction Activate integration model (transaction code CFM2) in the CIF. It is permissible to have several integration models active at a time. Choose the Start function to trigger the initial data transfer. This means that the transaction data you have selected is transferred into SCM for the first time. This initial transfer is usually automatically followed by the real-time link between the ERP System and the SCM System, concerning the selected transaction data. This means that once a storage location stock of a selected material changes due to a goods movement posting, the new stock is transferred into SCM. In the same way, production orders that are generated in SCM, for example, are immediately transferred to the ERP System.

For TP/VS, there are three transactions that are used to process transfers of SCM planned documents to the ERP System: •

/SAPSCM/VS50 Transfer Orders to Delivery Generation /SAPSCM/VS52 Check release of Planned Orders /SAPSCM/VS51 Transmit planned Shipments to OLTP System

In the Basic settings (publication of planning results) operation in SCM Customizing, specify for each plant and publication type (for example, deliveries and transports (shipments) ), which ERP System you are going to publish your planning results in (name of the logical system). You must complete this table, even if you only operate one ERP System. The publication process is performed in TP/VS after the shipments have been planned and released.

Planned Shipment and Delivery Documents can be transferred from SCM to ERP for Plant 1200:

SAP AG 2008

SCM IMG: Integration with SAP Components Integration of SAP SCM and SAP ERP Settings for Data Transfer Publication Maintain Distribution Definition

Basic

Settings in the Distribution Definition table determine which planning documents can be sent (published) to an external system such as ERP for execution. For TP/VS, Publication Types 330 (Transport) and 340 (Deliveries) are relevant. An entry should be made in this table for all plants/DC‘s that will have deliveries and shipment documents for execution. In addition to the Location, the Logical System to which the documents are to be transferred and the ERP System Release must be specified. Using the Generate and Delete Distribution Definition customizing activity, multiple Distribution Definition records can be created at one time. This capability is particularly helpful if a large number of locations (plants/DC‘s) are involved in planning.

SCM IMG: Advanced Planning and Optimization Transportation Planning and Vehicle Scheduling (TP/VS) Basic Settings Basic Settings for Vehicle Scheduling ATP confirmed quantities : Specifies for Vehicle Scheduling planning whether the ATP confirmed quantities with corresponding scheduled date (date of schedule line) should be used as a basis, or whether the desired delivery date is used per order item. Indicator set: Use of ATP confirmed quantities Indicator not set: Use of desired delivery dates Read SD Data: Set this indicator if you activate the user exit '001' in function module '/SAPSCM/VS_ORDER_GET' to allow you to control the display or filtering of additional SD fields for orders in interactive planning. • Do not set this indicator if you do not use user exit '001'. • We recommend that you use user exit '005' if you want to add user-specific field values for freight units that are not part of SD database tables. • Setting this indicator has a negative effect on performance for all of Vehicle Scheduling. You should therefore only set this indicator if you really need to. Ignore “Complete Deliveries Indicator”: If set, system can split sales orders with the “complete dlv” flag. Use Characts: Activate the usage of characteristics Change logic for deliveries: Use “ERP Weight and Volume for Deliveries”: You can use this indicator to use weight and volume of a delivery from the ERP system as the basis for freight unit creation. If this indicator is not set, weight and volume for the freight unit are calculated using material master data in SAP APO. Activate OSTA: One-Time-Ship-To Addresses can be used Location Identifier: How is the location name for the OSTA location created (based on time stamp, number range, order number) © SAP AG

Shipment Split: Own Vehicles: If you set this flag, a new shipment begins with each empty run of the vehicle. Shipment Split: External Vehicles: If you set this indicator, a new shipment begins with each empty run of the vehicle. Any Start Location with Own Vehicle : Specifies whether vehicles for which the means of transport is your own means of transport and that are not assigned to a depot can start from any location at the next optimization run or whether they have to start from their last location (from the last shipment). Use shipping point as source location: Indicates that the shipping point must be used as source location for freight units in shipments. Global setting! Max. Break Interruption: (Un) loading: Specify possible breaks for activities.

Currently only number of shipments (EA) is supported for Transportation Allocation. External Costs: If you do not set this indicator, a very high default value is automatically set for a transportation service provider for which costs could not be determined. There is also a check for whether at least one transportation service provider has "correct" costs. If this is not the case, this strategy can no longer be used. If you set this indicator, a default value is not set and the strategy cannot be used. General Settings: Change History (Days): Enter the duration, in days, for which changes to shipments are recorded. If you specify a duration other than zero, each action representing a planning change affecting shipments is recorded. At the same time, entries that are older than the specified duration are deleted. Log Level: Used to set the level of detail of entries in the application log.

Field Catalog consists of entries, which define fieldname (= ID), description of field, database table and field name (optional to define F4 help) and function name. The field name is used as unique field ID to get corresponding freight unit field value. For standard fields it coincides with the fieldname of corresponding characteristic in freight unit structure. That’s why for fields already included in freight unit structure, it is enough to enter field name in Field Catalogue, to enable definition of conditions which include this field. TP/VS Field Catalogue will be delivered with following standard fields: • Means of transport (not included in conditions, only used for compatibilities) • Cross-docking location (not included in conditions, only used for compatibilities) • Source/target Location/transportation zone • ATP category, logical system, ERP object type • Shipping information (shipping point, shipping conditions, incoterms1, route, delivery priority) • Material information (material number, transportation group) • Weight/volume group It will be possible to include user-defined fields in TP/VS field catalogue. In this case it will be also possible to define user function module for such fields (this functionality is similar to SCM-ATP). If no user function module is defined, the attempt is done to read the value from the freight unit structure using field name as identifier of field. If no field exists with such name and no user function module is specified, the error message is raised. To simplify processing the freight unit structure /SAPSCM/VSR_G_FUNIT will be enhanced with fields: INCO1, AZONE, LZONE (Target/Source transportation zone) GRGEW, GRVOL (Weight/Volume Group). © SAP AG

It can also be used in optimization profile to additionally restrict orders for VS planning. Several conditions are always combined with AND operator. Nevertheless, the user has the possibility to define several values, patterns or ranges for one field (for example, customers in transportation zones LZONE = 69100-69199, 71000, 72*). The maintenance screen for conditions consists of pairs of field names and field value selection options (up to 4 rows). In this way it will be possible to define not only exact field values, but also patterns and ranges for values. F4 help for field values is automatically adjusted according to field type.

When creating optimization models that drive the load consolidation process in TP/VS various compatibilities or incompatibilities must be taken into account that determine whether certain materials can be shipped together, or whether a transportation method is compatible with the ship from or to location, or whether certain other physical or business characteristics are present that would ,or should, affect the load consolidation process.

(In-) compatibilities and incompatibilities can be taken into account in the optimizer, in manual planning (including multilevel planning) and within the dynamic route determination. You can use compatibilities and incompatibilities to define the compatibility of planning data that the system is to take into account. Requirements: • You have defined fields that you want to use to define your compatibility types in the TP/VS Field Catalog. The following compatibility types are not permitted: • Means of Transport - Means of Transport • Transshipment Location - Transshipment Location Examples: • Certain materials cannot be transported together due to hazardous material regulations and safety. • A certain truck type cannot transport certain products. • A customer cannot be delivered by a certain carrier / means of transport. • Product can not be delivered in the same compartment. • Vehicle Type/Transport Group OR Transport Group / Transport Group OR Vehicle / Locations. • Orders with different Incoterms must not be transported together. • Refrigerated goods must only be transported in appropriate means of transport (refrigerated trucks). • A certain means of transport cannot be unloaded at a location, since the location does not have a suitable loading ramp. Example: • Sales orders with certain Incoterms are not to be shipped together. • Define the following - compatibility type: Cp.Type: 4 (or any other number between 1 and 99 that is not already being used as a compatibility type) - Field Name 1: Incoterms Part 1 - Field Name 2: Incoterms Part 1 © SAP AG

SAP AG 2008

After the compatibility types are created the compatibility relationships can be defined. The validity of the compatibilities and incompatibilities can be restricted to certain optimization profiles. Conditions can also be used to restrict the compatibilities and incompatibilities to certain orders. Compatibilities are not symmetric, they define compatibility for the first attribute Incompatibilities during manual planning can be overruled; the system displays a warning message. Compatible combination of some values of the first and second attribute means that the first attribute value is incompatible with all other possible values of the second attribute (unless they are not specified as compatible also). It doesn't say anything regarding possible values of the first attribute. For example if there is a rule for Means of Transport – Transport group and you maintain CHILLED T1XX compatible then CHILLED can only transport T1XX but T1XX can be transported by other means of transport.

Latest/earliest date will be set correspondingly if hard constraint is defined for delivery/pick-up, lateness/earliness penalty date will be set if soft constraints (i.e. costs) are defined for delivery/pick-up. If no constraints are defined, corresponding dates are set to the start/end of the planning horizon.

Material availability date (MAD) is calculated from the customer' s requested delivery date, taking into account how much time is needed for delivery-related procedures, such as picking, packing, loading, and transportation Forward Scheduling If backward scheduling determines a date in the past as the date on which a schedule line becomes due for shipping or if the material will not be available on the date calculated, the system automatically carries out forward scheduling to determine the earliest possible shipping deadline. SCM TP/VS displays the confirmed delivery data (equal RDD if no forward scheduling occurs) and the MAD.

The pre-configured condition types and access sequences are: LEAD – Used to compute the transportation planning lead time (Normally, not used with TP/VS). PICK - Used to compute the picking lead time. LOAD – Used to compute the loading time TRAN - Used to compute the transit time (Not used with TP/VS).

If ERP delivery scheduling is used the following lead times are used to compute the delivery scheduling dates: - The transit time is the time in days that is required to deliver goods from your premises to the customer location. It is defined for a route.

- The loading time is the time in days that is required for loading a delivery item. It is determined from the shipping point, the route, and the loading group of the material.

- The pick/pack time is the time in days that is required for allocating goods to a delivery as well as the time in days

that is required for picking and packing. It is calculated using the shipping point, the route, and the weight group of the order item. - The transportation planning lead-time is the time in days that is needed to organize the shipping of the goods. This might include booking a ship and reserving a truck from a forwarding agent. It is defined for a route. - In ERP delivery scheduling, there is no ability to compute an Unloading Date.

Exercises Unit: Vehicle Scheduling (VS): Basic Settings Topic: Shipment Type Determination At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Make the required settings in APO customizing to determine the ERP Transportation Shipment Types. After shipments are planned in TP/VS, they will be "published" and transferred to the ERP System for execution. A shipment type must be determined for each planned shipment for the process to work properly. You will make the required setting for the assignment of the ERP shipment types.

There are also three shipment types that have previously been created for use in multi-modal shipments. You will assign these to your corresponding means of transports. 1-1-1 Create an entry in the Shipment Type Determination table for each of your Means of Transports, FTL## and LTL## for the Shipment Types AI## and AO##.

Your business processes include packing materials from the deliveries into handling units that will be "packed" into the method of transportation. To facilitate this you want the shipment documents to include a packaging material that represents the trailer, container, or other unit of transportation. This is sometimes called the “Top” HU. To have the "packaging material" created automatically when the shipment document is transferred to ERP you will have to update the Mapping Table for Vehicles.

Exercises Unit: Vehicle Scheduling (VS): Basic Settings Topic: Compatibilities/Incompatibilities At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Perform the customizing necessary to set up compatibility/incompatibility checking required in many shipment planning scenarios. You must first set up a compatibility type in customizing that defines the fields to be used in compatibility/incompatibility checking. Then in the TP/VS application you can use the compatibility type to set up the actual values to be used in compatibility checking. In your transportation environment you have agreements with your customers in which you agree to pay the cost of freight and insurance and others in which the customer agrees to pay these costs from a particular transportation point. You use the incoterms field to define these relationships. For example customers for whom you pay the costs of transporting to the dock may be FOB, whereas a customer who assumes the cost of transportation from the shipping point may be coded with EXW. Merchandise with differing incoterms, in many cases must not be in the same shipment.

3-1

Create a Compatibility Type in customizing to check the compatibility based on the Incoterms 1 field (EXW, FOB, CIF, etc.). Then set up an incompatibility rule that can be used by the optimizer to insure that the incompatibility is enforced when shipments are planned. You will do the following: 1.

Create Compatibility Type code = (20 + ##) that can be used to check the incompatibility between two ‘Incoterms 1’ fields.

2.

Use the Compatibility Type code you created to check the compatibility rule such that the Incoterms 1 values CIF and EXW are incompatible. You will temporarily assign the incompatibility rule to an unused optimization profile (‘VS01’) until you are ready to use it.

3.

You will test the rule in a future exercise.

SAP AG 2008

After the basic TP/VS customizing, establishment of the appropriate master data and creation of the planning and cost profiles, the optimization of transportation demands may be performed. This is called the “optimization” process. It may be performed interactively or in background. Backorder processing carried out in the global ATP component can affect the vehicle scheduling determination in TP/VS. Upon completion of the planning for one or more shipments, automatic carrier selection may be performed. Based on the carrier selection profile a carrier will be assigned to each shipment selected. To transfer planned shipments and their corresponding delivery documents to the OLTP or ERP system for execution, the process of “publishing” must be performed first. An optional process that is part of the collaborative planning strategy of supply chain management is carrier tendering. The carrier tendering process, available in different scenarios, gives the shipper the ability to notify potential carriers of the availability of a shipment and its characteristics. The carrier, in turn, can accept or decline the tender offer and report that decision back to the shipper using various automated techniques. After shipments are published, they and their related delivery documents can be transferred to the OLTP or ERP System for execution. This step represents the final process in the process flow.

SAP AG 2008

Sales orders are created in the ERP System and then transferred to SCM via the CIF. The transactions required to do so are CFM1 for creating an integration model and CFM2 for activating and deactivating the integration model. VS consists of a two-step optimization process: •

1. Optimization on the basis of planning costs: Using an optimization and cost profile, the optimizer decides what has to be transported by which method/vehicle, when it needs to be transported and over what transportation lane the shipment should be taken.

•

2. Transportation Service Provider (TSP) Selection: On the basis of a TSP selection parameters a carrier is assigned based on real freight costs, business share and/or priority.

After the optimization processes have been completed, the shipments and related delivery documents are “published” and transferred to the OLTP-ERP system.

The problem of the Traveling Salesman consists in the detection of the shortest way (or one of the shortest ways), which connects a number of locations, like the towns, a traveling salesman has to visit on his sales tour.

SAP AG 2008

The Traveling Salesman Problem belongs to a group of problems that cannot be solved optimally in a reasonable time (NP-complete problems). The Vehicle Scheduling Problem in TP/VS is a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem and is therefore even harder to solve. The algorithm uses search strategies to try and find a solution which is as good as possible, during the given runtime. Usually, the solution found is not necessarily optimal.

SAP AG 2008

Incompatibilities are considered as hard constraints in the optimizer. The maximum storage time at location is the time a freight unit may be stored at a location. This is defined in the Location master (‘TP/VS’ tab, ‘Goods wait time’). This constraint is used only for crossdocking locations. Load/Unload handling resources and Opening hours are defined in the ‘Resources’ tab of the Location master: • You specify the resource used to load and unload a vehicle during a delivery process. You must also define the resource consumption (in pieces), which are required for delivery. Docks, forklifts...each freight unit uses the same capacity, independent of its size; the capacity is used during the load/unload time. • Opening hours are also defined in the ‘Resources’ tab of the Location master. You have to indicate the resource for which the opening times of this location are maintained. The break times of the resource define when the location is not available. • You can either define load/unloading times or opening hours but not both. Note: Picking lead time as well as transportation creation time which are defined in the ‘TP/VS’ tab of the location master are not relevant for the TP/VS optimizer. • Picking lead time is the time required to make an order from the SCM system available before the material availability date of the ERP system, so that picking can take place in the ERP system based on the corresponding deliveries. •

Transportation creation time is the time required for the transportation documents to be transferred from SCM to the ERP system, so that the appropriate shipment documents can be created before loading begins.

Before the optimizer starts the TP/VS preprocessing (ABAP) extracts the information from the SCM system and creates the required input for the optimizer. Certain business logic is already applied in the optimizer preprocessing for example the order split functionality. SAP offers before and after the optimization BADI‘s to influence the input and output of the optimizer. After the optimization the optimizer post-processing save the results of the optimizer. The Optimizer works on the basis of a step-by-step-search technique: •

First solution Generator: The term evolutionary indicates that the optimizer processes a population of alternative transportation plans, which are evolved over time by iterative selection ("survival of the fittest") and variation. In the first step, the population is filled with five different transportation plans produced by greedy insertion heuristics. Such a greedy insertion heuristics iteratively distributes the orders on the vehicles; for each order, the cheapest insertion position (defined by vehicle and position on the vehicle's route) is chosen. This general principle is frequently called greedy algorithm, because each separate decision is made in a greedy fashion, always choosing the best local option.

5. ABAP Optimizer Post-processing User exit available Write optimizer result back to SCM system Order merge

SAP AG 2008

The Optimizer works on the basis of a step-by-step-search technique: •

Local improvement: The worst two of this population are eliminated, and further search works on a population of size three. Each of the transportation plans in the current population is modified by some random modifications (e.g. drop orders from vehicle), followed by local search (insert orders somewhere else, re-arrange routing or scheduling on a vehicle, etc.) to make the plan locally optimal (i.e. it cannot be further improved by small modifications like e.g. swapping two elements in a route).

•

Modifies the current solution ('move') and accepts the modified solution, if cost criteria is met. Phase 1: Greedy Search Only cost improving moves are accepted Phase 2: Non-Improvement-Moves Frequent moves are penalized; non-improving moves are accepted

•

From time to time, some bad plans are replaced by better ones found previously, in order to reintensify the search around those better ones. This basic idea is called iterated local search, and in our case it represents the selection pressure of evolution.

•

Best solution found during runtime is returned.

The population of the evolutionary local search is currently 3. The 3 solutions are evaluated simultaneously. Example for step 4 is the assignment of the relationship loading / unloading activity and transportation activity. If between the loading – transportation and unloading activity waiting time occurs then the transportation activity is assigned directly after the loading activity. © SAP AG

Vehicle Scheduling Optimization: What does it do? •

The optimizer tries to solve the following problem: Assignment of freight units to vehicles and determination of a good delivery order for each vehicle, so that total transportation costs are minimized.

•

It has to consider several constraints (vehicle capacity constraints, opening hours...).

•

It has to take penalty costs into account as part of the total transportation cost.

What the optimizer does not do: •

Transportation chains with more than 2 reloading points; parallel chains

•

Handling resource optimization

•

Variable breaks (Resources, Vehicles)

•

Determination of shortest paths

•

Vehicle space optimization

Elapsed Run Time SAP AG 2008

Duration of an optimization run depends on the following factors: •

Number of transportation demand (sales orders, purchase orders, stock transport orders, deliveries, etc.)

•

Number of resources (Vehicle Resources, Handling Resources)

•

Constraints and costs: For an optimization run, different constraints have to be considered for planning. There is a difference between “hard” and “soft” constraints:

- During an optimization run hard constraints cannot be exceeded. An example of a hard constraint is the capacity of a vehicle resource. - The Optimizer tries to observe soft constraints such as the requirement date of a sales order item. Violation of soft constraints is possible and takes into account the penalties, e.g. for early/late delivery. •

Schedules (train, ship, ...)

Number of depot locations (return trips for own vehicles)

The interactive planning can be used to plan shipments for orders and deliveries and to process them manually. The optimization can be used to optimize the planning of shipments on the basis of costs and to determine optimal delivery sequences and transportation dates/times. The optimization can be started from interactive planning or scheduled it in the background. Optimization results can be processed in interactive planning. The dynamic route determination performs automatic transportation planning and scheduling without calling the optimizer. As a result, shipment proposals are calculated with their corresponding dates/times. The ERP system automatically triggers dynamic route determination when a sales order is created or changed.

Delay, Premature and non-delivery costs can be defined location dependent. For each location a certain priority can be defined, and for each priority different penalty costs can be specified. Note: The TP/VS optimizer does not use the delay/non-delivery costs which are defined in the Location Product master. Those costs are only used by SNP. Note: Although the penalty costs are maintained on a “DAY” basis. For the calculation of the penalty costs in the objective function, they are re-calculated in seconds. The priority in the ‘General’ tab of the location master data corresponds to the priority on the 'Location' tab in Cost profile. Orders for locations with a certain priority receive the appropriate penalty costs for non-delivery or delayed delivery. Have you maintained a delivery priority in your order, this priority is taken into account. If you do not enter a value, the system automatically assigns the value ‘0’. In TP/VS the priority depends on your maintained costs, other applications interprets the higher the number entered, the lower the priority.

The planning horizon contains information about when shipments are scheduled. You can define the planning horizon as fixed or relative: • Fixed: You define the planning horizon precisely by defining a start and end date and a start and end time. • Relative: You do not define the planning horizon with precise dates and times, but specify instead a duration in days starting from the current date. The system then automatically determines the start and end date and the start and end time. - If the planning horizon is not to start on the current date, but instead at a later time, you can define an offset. - The relative planning horizon must not lie in the past. - In the case of the relative planning horizon, you can specify the time zone in which the horizon is to be calculated. - According to this, the relative planning horizon is defined as follows: Start of planning horizon = current date + defined offset End of planning horizon = current date + defined offset + defined duration of planning horizon Offset in days: • The planning horizon commences after this period has elapsed. You can also maintain the offset duration to the exact hour and minute. This can result in either of the following: - Time-dependent: if offset (in days) is set to 0, the planning horizon commences from the current time, after the offset duration has elapsed (in hours and minutes). - Time-independent: if offset is set to 1 or higher, the planning horizon commences after the offset in days plus the maintained offset (in hours and minutes) from 0:00h • If you want to specify the offset more precisely you can specify it in hours and minutes via Offset Duration. - Example: Time dependent: Offset in Days=0 Offset Dur=3:00 means ‘after three hours from current time’ Time independent: Offset in Days=1 Offset Dur=7:00 means ‘after one day and seven hours’, (the seven hours are counted after the end of the first day, from 0:00 am the next day) Note: A day is defined as being 0:00h until 23:59h the time refers to the local time zone of user End of Offset Indicates a time span in days. For example, if you enter 3, there is a period of 3 days after the latest required delivery date during which the order can be executed. If you enter a 0, the order must be executed on the latest delivery

The transportation service provider selection (TSP selection) can be used to assign a suitable transportation service provider (TSP) to the shipments either manually or automatically. The goal is to find a TSP with the lowest costs. In manual TSP selection, the TSP is assigned manually to the shipments. If the check against transportation allocations has been configured, the system takes into account transportation capacities (transportation allocations) that have been defined for the individual TSPs. If the system does not find any transportation allocations during the assignment, it assigns a TSP but does not assign quantities in the planning book. A separate optimization is available for the automatic TSP selection. This determines a TSP while taking into account the chosen optimization options for all the shipments that have been chosen. If no TSPs are available, the system removes the relevant shipment from optimization. Considers compatibilities btw. TSP and customer, business shares, transport allocations, costs, continuous move.

Here you maintain: • Loading and unloading durations • Sequence of the stops • Transportation duration • Arrival or departure date and time The default values for the loading duration are determined in Transportation and Shipping Scheduling. A default value is also generated for the itinerary determined by the drive to all source locations and to all target locations. The sequence of the stops is determined by setting the "stopoff sequence". The transport duration is read from the transportation relationships, however, they can be adjusted if necessary. At least one date must be entered for each shipment (usually the arrival time at the last target location). After you confirm, a shipment is created as long as there is a possible date for the execution of the shipment in the planning horizon, and the resource selected has enough capacity. Confirm your entries with Enter.

The Optimization is carried out in the background at the time you selected. If the optimization run finishes without any problems occurring or messages being displayed, the Optimizer does not create any transports. Reasons for this can be: •

Non-delivery costs are so low, that the Optimizer determines that non-delivery is cheaper than the transport of the order.

•

Transportation lanes are missed.

In day-to-day transportation planning it is often necessary to split transportation demands to meet the physical requirements or constraints of shipping merchandise. For example, the quantities of materials in a single sales order might not be able to be contained in a single shipment due to quantity, volume, or weight constraints of the means of transport. In this case, for transportation purposes the order must be “split” into multiple freight units.

SAP AG 2008

SCM612

8-63

( Used to automatically consolidate and/or split order/delivery items Example: A sales order must be delivered with multiple outbound deliveries due to its size (Relation 1:1 FU and final delivery) Two types of freight units Split freight unit represents any combination of order line items with quantities planned for transportation (fixed shipping quantities) Remainder freight unit represents open quantities of order (open shipping quantities). They cannot be changed directly Split limits and rounding (in several dimensions) Vehicle capacities as split limits Decision full delivery or not on header level Several methods for distribution of item quantities

SAP AG 2008

Split rules are defined using transaction /SAPAPO/VS14 Order split allows to bring items of a sales order into transportation planning even if the quantity of this order item exceeds the capacity of the vehicles. Example: Assume a sales order item for 50 tons of raw material. It is larger than the largest available vehicle and thus can not be introduced into the planning run. The solution is, that TP/VS will split these large order items by creating multiple deliveries with smaller items. The Order Split is controlled by rules that define how an item should be split. The split process itself runs automatically. Split rules will be applied automatically by the system.

SAP AG 2008

Split Rules are created using transaction /SAPAPO/VS14. Each split rule has an Rule ID that you assign and a description. In the Validity box you select the ATP Categories that represent the transportation demand to which you want the split rule applied. In the Area field you select the TP/VS applications for which you want the split rule to be used (VSR Optimization, Dynamic Route Determination or ‘ALL’). Optionally, a split rule can also be assigned to a specific VSR optimization profile. A condition rule can also be used to filter the demands on which the split rule is applied. If multiple split rules apply to a VSR optimization profile, a priority number can be used to determine the sequence in which the split rules are applied. If the split rule is to be applied manually, an indicator check box is used to indicate this situation. Various consolidation and split options can be selected in the Consolidation/Split Control box. The units of measure and split values are entered in the Dimensions/Split Values area of the screen. The values enter in this area are used to determine when a split must be made and the split quantity for each split.

Set the flag “Merge Planned Freight Units” in the split profile so that the system automatically combines planned freight units that belong to the same order and are transported on one vehicle into a freight unit after optimization. If several sales order items for the same material are planned, then one delivery items will be created.

Select Release Shipment

SAP AG 2008

Before each optimization run, all (fixed) shipments that are not yet released are de-allocated. The optimizer reschedules the orders. For an order to be fixed, it must be released (published). When a shipment is released: •

the planning result is accepted as final.

•

the shipment is prepared for transfer to the OLTP system.

•

the published shipment is not de-allocated before an optimization run.

•

the optimizer considers its resource load as a starting solution.

Process Flow: •

Vehicle Scheduling – Shipments view. To release orders, select one or more shipments in the left area of the screen by double-clicking them.

•

Choose Release shipment.

•

Note: After you release the shipments, you cannot make any changes to them in the SCM System. There is one exception. If you use manual TSP Selection, you are able to choose or change your carrier.

After the basic TP/VS customizing, establishment of the appropriate master data and creation of the planning and cost profiles, the optimization of transportation demands may be performed. This is called the “optimization” process. It may be performed interactively or in background. Backorder processing carried out in the global ATP component can affect the vehicle scheduling determination in TP/VS. Upon completion of the planning for one or more shipments, automatic carrier selection may be performed. Based on the carrier selection profile a carrier will be assigned to each shipment selected. To transfer planned shipments and their corresponding delivery documents to the OLTP or ERP system for execution, the process of “publishing” must be performed first. An optional process that is part of the collaborative planning strategy of supply chain management is carrier tendering. The carrier tendering process, available in different scenarios, gives the shipper the ability to notify potential carriers of the availability of a shipment and its characteristics. The carrier, in turn, can accept or decline the tender offer and report that decision back to the shipper using various automated techniques. After shipments are published, they and their related delivery documents can be transferred to the OLTP or ERP System for execution. This step represents the final process in the process flow.

The above sequence depicts the steps you perform to carry out mass processing. You can carry out several planning actions within one job as long as they have the same activity. For example, you might run a mass processing job that executes several macros at the same time, or a job that carries out a VS optimization, carrier selection then publishing of the data to the ERP (OLTP) system.. The sequence in which actions within one activity are processed depends on the sequential numbers you define for them in the activity. The system performs all actions for the first characteristic value before processing the second characteristic value. Consequently, if you want the system to perform one action for all characteristic values before it starts the next action, you must define separate planning activities. For each job you can define the selection of data which should be considered in the processing of the job as well as the level to which it should be aggregated before the actions are executed. Planning jobs are reusable. See: SCM SAP Menu Transportation Planning/Vehicle Scheduling Interface Mass Processing Interface.

Exercises Unit: Vehicle Scheduling (VS) Topic: Interactive Planning At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Create a Cost Profile to be used in VS Optimization • Create a TP/VS Alert Profile to monitor exception events in planning • Create Optimization Profiles for use with the VS Optimizer in planning different transportation scenarios. • Perform interactive planning runs and evaluate the results • Release shipments • Publish delivery and shipment data to the ERP System. As a member of the TP/VS implementation team, you are responsible for setting up the required profiles necessary begin planning of transportation shipments using TP/VS. You are required to establish cost profiles that the optimizer will use in evaluating cost constraints related to various methods of transportation. To monitor the process for various exception situations you will also create a VS Alert Profile that will be assigned to your optimization profile. Finally, as the last step before the interactive planning can begin you must create the Optimization Profiles, that, among other things, will select the documents for planning. After the planning process has been completed, you will transfer the delivery and shipment data to the ERP System using the publishing process. 1-1

Within active Model 000 you are to create a cost profile (GR##-CP) that will specify the general, location, shipment and dimensional costs that you will use in your TP/VS planning. The tables below will show the planning costs that you are to assign in your profile. Location Costs: Priority Premature Del

Exercises Unit: Vehicle Scheduling (VS) Topic: Using Transportation Zone Hierarchies and Incompatibilities At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Understand the customizing settings and master data requirements necessary to use transportation zone hierarchies in shipment planning. • Assign incompatibility rules to optimization profiles. Due to the large customer base in your PC electronics company, you must reduce the number of transportation lanes required to plan shipments. To accomplish this and to provide a more accurate cost optimization, you will use the transportation zone hierarchy function. 2-1

Although a transportation zone hierarchy has already been established, TZONE, you will review the pertinent settings: 2-1-1 First, look at the hierarchy structure definition table. In this table the TZONE hierarchy is defined as a Location hierarchy with two levels (Two is the standard and can’t be exceeded.). 2-1-2 The second relevant table is the Maintain Transportation-Relevant Hierarchy table. In this table, you assign your transportation zone hierarchy to the VS application. 2-1-3 The transportation zone hierarchy should be created before any customer location data is transferred to APO. When the hierarchy is created first, the system will automatically update the hierarchy with the transportation zones and associated customer locations. To see your customers in the transportation zone hierarchy go to the Hierarchy master data table. Verify that your customers are in transportation zones DE-D000060000, DE-D000070000 or DE-D000080000.

2-1-6 To use the transportation zone hierarchy in planning, a transportation lane must exist between the source plants/DC’s and the transportation zones. In addition, a “circular” transportation lane must exist in which the source and target locations are the transportation zone. In this exercise, you will check transportation zone DED000060000 for the circular relationship and add your Transportation Methods to the lane (FTL## and LTL##). 2-1-7 Create the transportation lane between your shipping plant 12## and transportation zone: DE-D000060000. 2-1-8 Go back to Interactive Planning and re-run the VS Optimizer and document the following: How many shipments were created? _____________________ What was the total optimized costs? _____________________

You will now assign the incompatibility rule you created earlier to your OPOUT-## optimization profile. This rule specifies that orders with the Incoterms of EXW cannot be shipped with orders having an incoterms code of CIF. One of the orders you entered previously has an incoterms code of ‘EXW’. All of the other orders have an incoterms code of ‘CIF’. 2-2-1 Assign your compatibility rule to your OPOUT-## optimization profile. 2-2-2 Use Interactive Vehicle Scheduling to re-plan the shipments created in the last transportation zone exercise. The order with the incoterms code of ‘EXW’ should be in a different shipment.

Exercises Unit: Vehicle Scheduling (VS) Topic: Pool Distribution Scenario and Conditions At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Understand how the VS Optimizer can be used to model a pool distribution scenario. • Apply a condition rule to an optimization profile so that only transportation demand meeting the conditions are selected for optimization. Rush orders from multiple customers are shipped via a truck to a distribution hub and during this process one or more stop offs can be made on the way to the distribution hub. After the shipment arrives at the hub, the merchandise is reassigned to shipments that will be used to deliver the individual orders to the respective customers. You will test the scenario by creating four ‘rush’ orders, one to each of four different customers. The orders will be consolidated onto one shipment to be delivered from the source location in Dresden (12##) to the distribution hub in Frankfurt (13##). One of the orders will be delivered to a customer after the remaining orders are dropped at the pool distribution hub in Frankfurt. This is an illustration of the multi-stop capabilities of the optimizer in planning. The three remaining orders will be delivered from the distribution hub in Frankfurt (13##) to the respective customers in a multi-stop shipment. 3-1

In this first step you will set up the transportation infrastructure necessary to model the pool distribution scenario: 3-1-1 You must create a TSP Hierarchy that represents the customers to be “pooled”. In this step you will update the TSP_HIER hierarchy structure to assign the customers to the Frankfurt Hub (13##).The customers to be assigned to the Frankfurt Hub are in the table below:

Exercises Unit: Vehicle Scheduling (VS) Topic: Multi-Modal Transportation Planning with Order Splitting At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: • Understand how the VS Optimizer can be used to model a multi-modal transportation planning. • Apply splitting rules to transportation demand to causing splitting of freight units for accurate transportation planning. Many times the quantities, weights, volumes and palletization of materials in a sales order are too large to be physically shipped together in the same truck, trailer or container. These freight units must be split for accurate transportation planning. In TP/VS you will set up a split rule to cause automatic splitting of freight units for the multi-modal transportation scenario. Your Dallas DC (35##) ships one of your products, T-ATC1-## to a customer in Germany who special orders the product. You ship the product by rail to your NY hub (30##). From the NY hub the shipment goes by ship to the Port of Rotterdam (25##). From the Port of Rotterdam the materials are offloaded to trucks for delivery to the customer (T-S44A##) 4-1

In previous exercises you have established the means of transports (RAIL##, SHIP## and TRK##), the resources (G##-RAIL01, G##,SHIP01, and G##-TRK01), and the transshipment hierarchy in TSP_HIER. Before you can test your multi-modal scenario, however, you must create a new optimization profile (OPMM-##) because you will be using different resources and location data. In addition you want to assign your split profile to the optimization profile because the splitting rule is to apply only to your export shipments. 4-1-1 Create the new optimization profile, OPMM-## by copying OPOUT-##. Use the same parameters except for the following location and resource settings: Source Location 35##

4-1-2 Your product, T-ATC1-## is palletized eight PC’s per pallet. You want the split to be based on the maximum number of pallets that will fit in a standard 40’ container. You have determined that 16 pallets is the limit for one container or truck load. Therefore, you want the split rule to cause an automatic split for each group of 16 pallets, which is 128 PC’s. Create a Split Rule to be identified by the number (20 + ##). The parameters for the split rule are shown in the table below. (ex: 20 + Gr 05 = 25)

SAP AG 2008

After the basic TP/VS customizing, establishment of the appropriate master data and creation of the planning and cost profiles, the optimization of transportation demands may be performed. This is called the “optimization” process. It may be performed interactively or in background. Backorder processing carried out in the global ATP component can affect the vehicle scheduling determination in TP/VS. Upon completion of the planning for one or more shipments, automatic carrier selection may be performed. Based on the carrier selection profile a carrier will be assigned to each shipment selected. To transfer planned shipments and their corresponding delivery documents to the OLTP or ERP system for execution, the process of “publishing” must be performed first. An optional process that is part of the collaborative planning strategy of supply chain management is carrier tendering. The carrier tendering process, available in different scenarios, gives the shipper the ability to notify potential carriers of the availability of a shipment and its characteristics. The carrier, in turn, can accept or decline the tender offer and report that decision back to the shipper using various automated techniques. After shipments are published, they and their related delivery documents can be transferred to the OLTP or ERP System for execution. This step represents the final process in the process flow.

TSP selection can be made… Manually Automatically using the TSP Optimizer Optimization options: Strategies (only relevant to automatic TSP selection) TSP Priority (highest priority first) Costs Continuous move Business share (only relevant to automatic TSP selection) Check against transportation allocations Goal: Find the TSP with the lowest costs respecting restrictions like transportation allocations, business share, etc.

SAP AG 2008

You can use the transportation service provider selection (TSP selection) to assign a suitable transportation service provider (TSP) to your shipments either manually or automatically. Priority: The system determines the TSP on the basis of a priority which has been defined on the transportation lane. This means that the system chooses the TSP with the highest priority first, taking into account the various restrictions. Costs: The system determines the TSP on the basis of the lowest total costs. You can take into account either internal or external costs (Cost Origin): • Internal costs: - Transportation costs and TSP costs that you define for your TSPs: - You can define transportation costs per shipment (EA), weight, or volume. - You define TSP costs per kilometer. • External costs (ERP): - Freight costs that you define in the ERP system. For more information, see the SAP Library for the ERP system under Logistics → Logistics Execution → Transportation → Shipment Cost Processing. • External costs (BAdI): - You can use method GET_EXTERNAL_COSTS of Business Add-In /SAPAPO/VS_CS_SELECT to deactivate the freight cost calculation in the ERP system and to connect another system. Continuous Move: As part of the automatic TSP selection process, the TSP optimizer tries to combine shipments by forming continuous moves. The goal is to reduce the costs of shipping by assigning additional shipments to a TSP. The TSP gives a discount on all shipments that are linked via continuous move assignment. © SAP AG

SAP AG 2008

Optimization as part of the transportation service provider selection (TSP selection) determines the assignment of transportation service providers (TSP’s) with the lowest costs to shipments. It aims to achieve the following goals: •

Reduction in total costs

•

Consideration of all capacity restrictions for means of transport and TSP’s (from the transportation lane; maximum capacity is a hard constraint, minimum capacity is a soft constraint)

•

Consideration of business shares (soft constraints; from the transportation lane)

The total costs represent the weighted total of the following individual costs: •

Non-delivery costs for shipments that the optimizer cannot assign

•

Costs for the assignment of TSP’s to shipments

•

Penalty costs for violating business shares

•

The total of all the discounts for continuous moves is subtracted from these total costs.

The optimizer takes into account transportation zone hierarchies and hierarchical relationships between means of transport. You define hierarchies between means of transport by specifying higher-level means of transport when defining means of transport. The optimization problem is solved by mixed-integer linear programming.

There must be a Location Master created for each TSP that will be used in the TSP selection process. These location masters are normally copied from the Vendor Master in the ERP system using the APO Core Interface (CIF). However, with the exception of the SCAC code, all parameters in the TSP tab of the TSP location master must be entered manually. The ‘TSP’ tab and the data fields contained therein will appear for all Location Type 1020 (TSP) records. In the TSP tab, you can enter the SCAC code. The Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is a unique two-to-four-letter code used to identify transportation companies. This field is copied from the ERP system. If a TSP is to be considered for continuous moves, the ‘Continuous Move’ box should be checked. It is also necessary to enter a continuous move discount percentage for the TSP in all transportation lanes in which the TSP can be assigned to a continuous move. Also assigned in the TSP location record is the allocation determination procedure to be used if the TSP is subject to allocations for any shipment assignment. The ‘Performance (%)’ field contains the on-time performance percentage for the TSP. The performance percentage is used is determining the TSP costs in the TSP selection process.

For TSP selection, a shipment is defined by: Source location Destination location Means of transport A Time Non-delivery penalty

(Truck, June 23)

B

(BigTruck, June 24)

For each shipment and TSP, it is determined whether the TSP can be assigned to the shipment, and if yes, what is the cost. The TSP performance is included in the costs passed on to the optimizer. That is, the worse the TSP' s performance, the higher the associated costs.

SAP AG 2008

The automatic TSP selection process is based on data related to the transportation lane to which a shipment is assigned. In the vehicle scheduling process, a vehicle resource is assigned to each shipment. The vehicle resource is assigned to a means of transport that has been defined within the transportation lane. One of prerequisites for automatic TSP selection is that each TSP must be assigned to each means of transport that represents its “mode” of transportation. For example trucking TSP’s will be assigned to means of transport that represents truck-related shipping; whereas, rail carriers will be assigned to means of transport that have been created to represent rail-related shipping. Within the Means of Transport records assigned to a transportation lane there are TSP selection related data parameters. Within each TSP record assigned to a means of transport there are also TSP selection related parameters. In fact, TSP records are only created if automatic TSP selection will be performed for shipments assigned to a transportation lane. The TSP performance percentage is entered in the TSP’s location master record. The TSP Performance is included via the following formula: Costs = Costs / (TSP performance * 100).

The basic control of automatic TSP selection is made in the TSP Selection tab in the VS Optimization profile. There are four groups of settings in the TSP Selection tab in the VS Optimization profile. The settings in the TSP Selection Control section are used to control the basic TSP selection process. The settings here indicate the status level a shipment must have before automatic TSP determination can be performed, what costs are to be considered in the selection process, whether business shares and transportation allocations are to be used and the maximum time that the TSP Optimizer is to run when a TSP selection is being performed. In the TSP Selection settings there are three sections that contain control parameters used in continuous move determination. The first two sections contain settings used to direct the system when shipments assigned to continuous moves are deleted and whether costs determined externally are to be recalculated and whether the costs are to be distributed to the shipments. The third section, Extended Checks contains check boxes that indicate what types, if any, of compatibility checks are to be made in continuous move determination.

There are three groups of settings related to TSP selection that exist in the Means of Transport record that is assigned to a transportation lane. The Strategy settings are use to indicate whether the means of transport is relevant for automatic TSP selection. Within the Strategy settings the Priority/Cost setting is used to indicate the basis for TSP selection (Priority, Costs, or a combination of Priority and costs). If costs will be used as a basis of TSP selection, the Cost Origin is used to indicate whether internal (planning) or external (actual) freight costs will be used in the TSP selection process. If the system is to consider continuous moves, the Contin.Move Type setting is used to indicate whether a simple or a round trip continuous move will be considered. If automatic TSP selection is to consider and update TSP’s based on their share of the transportation business, then the Share of Business parameters must be updated. In these settings a +/- tolerance can be specified to give the TSP optimizer leeway in assigning a TSP based on business share. Used in concert with the +/- tolerances are penalty costs that can be applied for over-allocating or under-allocating shipments for a TSP. If TSP selection is to consider and update allocation data, the planning period must be specified that corresponds to the period configured in the planning book data. The allocation

If automatic TSP selection is to be performed on TP/VS created shipments, TSP records must be created for each TSP that can carry shipments in the transportation lane. The TSP records are used to record the various data parameters needed in the automatics TSP selection process, such as the internal costs. If the Priority is used in TSP selection, the priority of each TSP available in the transportation lane is recorded in the TSP record. Continuous Move determination data such as the arrival and departure windows to be considered during TSP processing is set up in the TSP record along with the Maximum Distance. The Discount % allowed by the TSP for continuous move shipments is also entered in the TSP record. This discount percentage is applied to the shipment costs that are calculated for each shipment. For TSP assignment and shipment processing that involves transportation allocation and/or business shares, the required data parameters are also recorded in the TSP record. The Share of Business percentage indicates to TSP processing the percentage of shipments assigned to TSP’s in the lane that the TSP is to received. In the Transportation Allocation settings in the TSP record, you enter the minimum and maximum number of shipments the TSP is to receive based on the configured time period (day, week, month, year, etc.).

As part of the automatic TSP selection, the system tries to combine shipments by forming continuous moves. The aim is to reduce the costs of the shipment by assigning additional shipments to a TSP. The following types of continuous moves are available: •

Simple continuous move: the transportation service provider (TSP) accepts one or more additional shipments directly after executing the first shipment.

•

Round trip: the start location of the first shipment and the destination location of the second shipment are identical.

The system cannot take into account complex round trips where multiple source locations (pickup) or destination locations (delivery) are served.

SAP AG 2008

The system can combine two shipments in a continuous move if the conditions are met: The relevant TSP is available for both shipments. The arrival date/time of the first shipment lies in the departure window of the second shipment. The departure date/time of the second shipment lies in the arrival window of the first shipment. Then the system performs a number of additional checks in accordance with your settings in the optimization profile. For example, the system checks whether the following objects are compatible with one another: Means of transport Transportation zones Locations (in other words, the destination location of the first shipment and the start location of the second shipment) The distance between the destination location of the first shipment and the start location of the second shipment must not exceed the maximum distance that you have defined for the TSPs for both shipments. Then the system checks the type of continuous move. In the case of a round trip, the system checks if the destination location of the first shipment and the start location of the second shipment are identical, for example. In the case of a simple continuous move, the system can combine multiple shipments without the vehicle having to return to the start location.

+ Continuous Move Calculation

Cost distribution

SAP AG 2008

Cost Origin: Internal Costs (from Transportation Lane): •

In this case, the system first determines the costs per shipment. When doing so, it takes into account the costs that you have defined in the transportation lane for the transportation service provider (TSP) and the means of transport. The system then determines the discount per shipment. When doing so, it takes into account the settings that you have made in the transportation lane for the TSP and the means of transport. The system deducts this discount from the costs determined previously for each shipment.

Cost Origin: External Costs (from ERP System) •

In this case, the costs for the shipments come from the ERP system (freight cost calculation). The subsequent determination of discounts occurs as described above.

•

If you have specified in the Freight Costs area in the optimization profile that the system is to perform a recalculation and a distribution, it automatically performs a freight cost simulation in the ERP system for shipments that are suitable for a continuous move after the optimization run. When doing so, the system acts as if it were dealing with one single shipment. The system then distributes the total costs calculated for this shipment among the individual shipments, for example, in accordance with weight or distance. The system then transfers the costs per shipment to the ERP system as the planned freight costs.

•

For more information about reusing these costs in the ERP system, see the consulting note 944365.

Internal costs (from the lane): The costs for all shipments of a

continuous move are calculated internally. Then the discount defined for CM is calculated and the total costs are reduced by this discount within the optimization process. The discount is determined per MOT and lane and carrier. The Discount is then calculated per shipment, based on the first lane.

External costs (from ERP): The ERP costs are calculated for every SINGLE shipment. These costs are then handled the same way by the optimizer as described before, the only difference is, that the costs of 1000 would come from ERP. After the optimization, the identified continuous move shipments are sent to ERP to get the costs as if it would be one shipment. In the example below, SHP1 and SHP2 would be sent to ERP as one theoretical shipment. The calculated total costs are then split (e.g. by weight or distance) between the two shipments. The calculated cost per shipment are transferred to ERP as planned freight costs.

SAP AG 2008

Example for internal costs: •

TSP A has a discount of 10% on the lane from A

B for MOT 0001

•

TSP A has a discount of 20 % on the lane from B

C.

•

We have 2 shipments (SHP1 A B and SHP2 B C). SHP1 cost 1000, SHP2 2000. Both shipments are identified as potential continuous move by the optimizer.

•

Now the optimizer calculates costs of 900 (1000 - 10%) for SHP1 and 1600 (2000 - 20%) for SHP2. The total costs if this shipment is given to TSP A would be 2500. This is compared e.g. with TSP B, which is cheaper per shipment (say 950 for SHP1 and 1800 for SHP2). The costs for TSP B would be 2750. Hence, the best solution is to give both shipments as one continuous move to TSP A.

The system takes into account business shares during the automatic TSP selection. Business shares are optimization options for the transportation service provider selection. The business share (%) indicates to the TSP optimizer what percentage of the total number of shipments assigned to the transportation lane that the TSP is to receive. It makes sense to use business shares if you have defined penalty costs. SAP also recommends that you define tolerances to give the optimizer a certain amount of leeway in assigning TSP’s to shipments. Tolerances can be defined for each business share as well as penalty costs that the optimizer calculates when an excess or shortfall of these tolerances occurs. However, the penalty costs are not real costs, but instead are used for weighting purposes only. Means of transport hierarchies can be defined in order to group means of transport and assign Business Shares on the top level of the hierarchy. The means of transport hierarchy will be used in combination with the geographical hierarchy.

SAP AG 2008

The check against transportation allocations is an optimization option that you can use as part of both the manual and automatic transportation service provider selection. It can also be used in dynamic route determination. In the check against transportation allocations, transportation capacities (transportation allocations) are assigned to transportation service providers (TSPs) for a certain period. The following can be defined: •

The maximum number of shipments for a TSP per transportation lane, period (day, week, or month), and means of transport.

•

The minimum number of shipments that defines the number of agreed shipments per period (day, week, month or business year).

After the basic TP/VS customizing, establishment of the appropriate master data and creation of the planning and cost profiles, the optimization of transportation demands may be performed. This is called the “optimization” process. It may be performed interactively or in background. Backorder processing carried out in the global ATP component can affect the vehicle scheduling determination in TP/VS. Upon completion of the planning for one or more shipments, automatic carrier selection may be performed. Based on the carrier selection profile a carrier will be assigned to each shipment selected. To transfer planned shipments and their corresponding delivery documents to the OLTP or ERP system for execution, the process of “publishing” must be performed first. An optional process that is part of the collaborative planning strategy of supply chain management is carrier tendering. The carrier tendering process, available in different scenarios, gives the shipper the ability to notify potential carriers of the availability of a shipment and its characteristics. The carrier, in turn, can accept or decline the tender offer and report that decision back to the shipper using various automated techniques. After shipments are published, they and their related delivery documents can be transferred to the OLTP or ERP System for execution. This step represents the final process in the process flow.

Collaborative Transportation Planning between shippers and their carriers allows both partners to streamline their work processes and ultimately benefit from reduced handling costs, greater transparency and efficiency. Shippers can inform their carriers about their shipment plans, and the carriers can accept, reject or change shipment requests. For example, the carrier could suggest an alternate pickup or delivery date. This process begins after all the prerequisites have been fulfilled. Tendering is possible via EDI, fax, Internet or similar method of communication. Once planned shipments are “released” in TP/VS, a tendering announcement can be created.

Tendering Alerts are generated during the tendering process between TP/VS and external TSP’s. After the TSP selection in TP/VS, the shipment proposals are transmitted to external carriers. Sometimes they are transmitted to the ERP system before confirmation from the external TSP arrives. In this case, if there is a change or a rejection, the system also triggers an execution system alert. Tendering Alerts are configured using the Alert Monitor. They are configured in the VS Alert Profile.

$ What should be done if planned order is changed in ERP? Planned shipments: De-allocate order Invalidate Adjust BAdI Write alert Define alert type Maintain selection conditions for planned orders Maintain change conditions for shipments If no rule is found, shipment is always adjusted and kept consistent

SAP AG 2008

A Control Rule is a rule that determines which actions are to be performed for planned shipments when the corresponding orders are changed in the ERP system. You use control rules to determine changes to orders (for example, sales orders or purchase orders) and deliveries in the ERP system, and to automatically adjust the corresponding planned shipments in the Transportation Planning/Vehicle Scheduling (TP/VS) component using suitable actions. However, in TP/VS you can only adjust planned shipments that have not yet been transferred to the ERP system. If you do not define any control rules, the planned shipment remains unchanged in TP/VS. The system can automatically adjust planned shipments for the following types of changes in the ERP system (dependent on the settings in the control rule: •

Change an order or a delivery

•

Delete an order or a delivery

•

Create a delivery for an order

•

Post goods issue or goods receipts for a delivery

You can specify that the system is to write an alert when an order has been changed in the ERP system for which a planned shipment was already created in TP/VS. You can then check your planning situation in TP/VS and make any necessary changes.

The following new relation settings have been introduced: Object combination Order-Order Compartment Level Vehicle Level MTr Combination Level Object combination Vehicle – Location Stay Loading/Unloading

SAP AG 2008

The compatibility level indicates on which level compatibility or incompatibility is defined. Compatibility levels other than Default may only be used for certain pairs of object types: •

Object types: Order/Freight Unit – Order/Freight Unit

•

Means of transport combination

•

Vehicle (Default)

•

Compartment

•

The interpretation is as follows: If compartment level is chosen, two incompatible freight units must not be transported in the same compartment, but they may be transported on one vehicle resource. If vehicle level is chosen, two incompatible freight units must not be transported in the same vehicle, but they may be transported on one MTr combination (e.g. one in the truck and one in the trailer. If MTr combination level is chosen, two incompatible freight units must not be transported on one vehicle combination.

It is possible to model the assignment of freight units to trailers by using the packaging information. Therefore the mapping between the relevant means of transport (in standard truck, now also for trailer MTr' s) and the packing material in ERP has to be maintained.
