External Speed Demo URL: http://demo.tdc.sap.com/SpeedDemo/214243b017394703

One paragraph story-line Summary:

Learn how transportation planner John manually plans a transport in the operations office. At the warehouse
shipping clerk Sarah gets Johns transportation plan displayed in the shipping cockpit as a planned outbound
delivery on a transportation unit from the warehouse. Sarah releases the work to the warehouse that is then
executed by warehouse worker Mark. At arrival truck driver Mike gets checked into the warehouse and
instructed at the trucker desk. Once docked on the warehouse door the truck gets loaded by fork lift driver
Mark. The demo shows how the exception of one planned pallet not fitting on the truck is handled and how the
transportation planner John in real-time gets informed about the exception and the action to take.

What are the key messages your audience needs to take from this demo?
The direct SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) integration with SAP Extended Warehouse
Management (SAP EWM) helps customers to:

1. Reduce cost by optimizing and automating transportation and warehouse processes

2. Achieve high transparency on the execution of transportation plans

3. Align in real-time transportation planning and warehouse execution

4. Reduce costs and improve operational productivity by more accurate freight settlements

Chapter Overviews:

Sales Order / Delivery (ERP)

Learn how sales orders are entered in an SAP ERP system and consolidated into outbound deliveries.

Sales orders and deliveries serve as basic for transportation planning as well as planning the workload in the In the given
example a customer CUST032 orders one pallet of product PROD-S01 and one pallet of product PROD-S02.

Transportation Planning (TM)

Learn how transportation planner John Smiths work list and how he does a simple manual transportation planning step

Transportation requirements either based on sales orders or on deliveries are displayed in Johns work list. He selects one or
more requirements and enters the transportation cockpit. Note: in the demo John selects Original Delivery No. 80000079 with
Customer PO No. MK20140122A containing a transportation reuqest for 2 pallets (2 PAL). In the cockpit John assigns manually
Freight Units i.e. goods shipped together from one source to one destination location to transportation resources. In this
simple example a one stage transport from source to destination location using a truck is planned. The transportation plan is
reflected in the resulting Freight Order 6100003155. In the next step John selects a carrier and assigns the carrier to the
Freight order. Once the freight order is ready to be executed John set the Freight Order Item Status to Ready for Loading. By
doing so the connected SAP EWM run warehouse will be informed automatically about the transportation plan.

Shipping Planning in Warehouse (EWM)

Learn how shipping clerk Sarah uses the Shipping Cockpit for planning the workload in the warehouse

Sarah is planning todays shipping workload in the Shipping Cockpit. Transportation planned by SAP TM show up automatically
as transportation unit with already assigned deliveries in her planning view. Note that the transportation unit No. 6100003155
matches the corresponding Freight Order No. 6100003155 in the SAP TM system.

In order to plan the workload in the warehouse Sarah just creates a wave for the transportation unit. The wave takes care by
considering cutoff times that the goods are picked, packed, staged and loaded right in time so that the truck leaves the
warehouse on schedule.

Sarah is able to navigate from the shipping cockpit to other tools like the warehouse monitor in order to get further detailed
information. In the given example she is looking for warehouse orders created by the wave after it has been released.

Picking & Staging

Learn how fork lift driver Mark Miller uses his mobile RF based barcode scanning device to pick and stage pallets

Mark logs himself on to the mobile device mounted on his fork lift truck. In the given example he manually selects the
warehouse order. He picks a pallet with a unique barcode identifier 800000090. Mark confirms that he picked one pallet. He
brings the pallet to the staging area and confirms the step by scanning the pallet barcode. Note: The mobile screens are
configurable in SAP EWM by the RF framework tool. Customer have flexibility about screen layout and formatting, displayed
fields, validations and even screen flow on the mobile device. For more information see the How-to Guides on RF here.

The last screenshot shows again Sarahs desktop computer screen in the shipping office. Displayed is the execution view of the
shipping cockpit. The execution view serves to monitor the execution of the planned shipping workload and its status.
Visualized by simple traffic lights Sarah can observe the status of the different activities in the warehouse. In the given
example after having staged all pallets for delivery 80000079 the Pick and Stage traffic light switches to green.

Warehouse Execution
Learn how shipping office clerk Sarah checks in a truck and monitors the loading and checks it out again

The truck to pick up the shipment arrives in the warehouse. Truck driver Mike Green first walks to the trucker desk at the
shipping office. There he gets from Sarah a warehouse door assigned where to dock on to. Sarah selects the door in the
shipping cockpit and assigns it to the transportation unit representing the truck in the system.

Mike goes back to his truck, drives to the door and docks his truck to the door. In the meantime fork lift driver Mark got on his
mobile device the loading tasks. Mark scans the door ID that uniquely identifies the truck as it is docked to the door. Next
Mark scans the label on the pallets (Handling Unit No.) and brings the pallets on the truck.

Unfortunately one of the two planned pallets doesnt fit any more on the truck. Mark is forced to finish loading before having
loaded all planned pallets on the truck. This deviation from the plan is depicted in Sarahs shipping cockpit as yellow triangle
that tells her that there is a deviation.

When loading is finished Mike goes to the trucker desks to pick up his truck manifest. Sarah closes the TU (transportation unit)
which triggers goods issue posting and printing of the truck manifest. She hands the truck papers over to truck driver Mike
and checks out the transportation unit. Mike goes to his truck and leaves the warehouse.
Waitwhat happens to the pallet that didnt fit on the truck?

See in the next scene how the direct TM / EWM integration handles such an exception situation in real-time.

Update TM
Learn how SAP TM gets updated from EWM about the execution in the warehouse

Once posting goods issue SAP EWM sends the message to SAP TM what actually has been loaded to the truck and updates the
status of the freight Order in TM.

In the current case one pallet has been left in the warehouse. You see in the Freight Order 6100003155 that only one of the
two planned pallets has been loaded. Please note also the status events with time stamps for Ready for Loading, Arrival,
Loading Begin

Now going back into the work list of transportation planner John Smith you see that the original delivery for Customer PO No
MK20140122A has been split into two Deliveries. One delivery (No. 80000079) in execution (see Life Cycle Status) that
represents the loaded pallet on the truck and another delivery (No. 100000000) with life cycle status New that represents
the pallet left back in the warehouse and needs to be planned again on a truck by John. You see one of the major business
benefits of the direct TM / EWM integration is real-time update of TM after warehouse execution. Status as well as the
transportation planners work list gets updated instantly.

Another major business benefit (not shown in the demo) derives from real-time updates of what has actually loaded to the
transportation unit. TM gets accurate information on transportation unit loads and therefore is able to do precise
transportation charge calculation and performs correct invoice verification with the truck carrier based on actual
transportation execution.
