SAP TM Consultant, SAP TM Functional Lead, SAP TM Technical Consultant
SAP TM (Transportation Management) plans, executes and settles freight. It turns sales, purchase and stock transfer orders into freight units, then plans them into optimised freight orders across road, rail, sea and air.
TM helps shippers and logistics providers reduce freight costs, select and tender to carriers, calculate charges accurately and settle freight invoices, with visibility of shipments in transit.
In S/4HANA, TM can run embedded (basic or advanced shipping) and replaces classic LE-TRA transportation. It integrates with EWM for loading and with SAP Business Network for Logistics for carrier collaboration.
