SAP Best Practices Prerequisite Settings and Sample Master Data (T55): Configuration Guide

Prerequisite Settings and Sample Master Data: Configuration Guide

1 PurposeThe purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to manually set up configuration within the system landscape that has already been installed using the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation.

If you do not want to configure manually and would prefer to run an automated installation process using BC Sets and other tools, refer to the quick guide for your SAP rapid-deployment solution.

This document supplements the existing Customizing documentation in the Implementation Guide (IMG) and provides additional information where required.

The Customizing and master data described in this document are required to set up an SAP ERP system to test and demo the capabilities of SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions.

Since the described configuration and master data focuses on the bare minimum required for testing and showcasing the scenarios covered with the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions, the following restrictions apply if you are using sample master data described in this guide:

Sales orders and outbound deliveries can be created without inventory in the assigned storage location. To do this, switch off the availability check in the material master data.

Warehouse functions are not used in the scenarios. For this reason, the proposed picking storage location is not assigned to a warehouse number. The material master data therefore has to be maintained for a storage location, but not for a warehouse number.

You can of course include these other processes in your SAP ERP productive system or, if you are using your own test data, in your SAP ERP development and test system.

Your SAP ERP system must meet the following prerequisites:

Sales order processing, including sales order scheduling, is already configured and running

Outbound delivery processing is configured and running Shipment processing is configured and running

You can use this guide to check whether all required settings have been made in your own system.

In SAP ERP, sales order scheduling is a mandatory prerequisite for SAP Transportation Management integration. For sales order scheduling we use routes as part of the sample content of the rapid-deployment solution. If you are using your own SAP ERP data, you can follow a different approach for sales order scheduling.

If you are using you own SAP ERP system, you cannot use the eCATTs and BC sets provided as part of the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions to set up the configuration and master data described below.

SAP Best Practices Prerequisite Settings and Sample Master Data (T55): Configuration Guide

2 Preparation

2.1 PrerequisitesBefore you start installing this scenario, you must install the prerequisite building blocks. For more information, see the Building Block Prerequisites Matrix for your SAP rapid-deployment solution. You will find this document in the Content Library, attached to the step-by-step guide.

Before you implement the configuration and master data described below, you have to set up best practice US baseline building blocks. For more information, see the Quick Guide for your SAP rapid-deployment solution.

3 ConfigurationThis section describes all of the settings required for this building block. These settings fall into the following three main groups:

Prerequisite settings that have to be checked and were delivered by SAP (as part of the standard delivery)

The term Check used in this document refers to these prerequisite settings.

Settings defined by the customer (customer-specific settings and those defined in the customer namespace):

The system uses automation to request individual customer settings during the personalization process. These settings can be initial or reused from existing SAP ERP layers and are indicated in the text by <your value>.

Additional settings that need to be made either by automation or manual configuration (in the customer namespace)

The term Create in the text refers to these additional settings.

3.1 Enterprise Structure in SAP ERP

For the sample master data of the rapid-deployment solution, we use a SAP Best Practices US baseline organizational structure. The following sections describe which organizational entities are used and whether they have to be adapted for the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions.

3.1.1 Check Plant

UseThe SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions use plant 1000 for the sample configuration in SAP ERP.

You can use your own plant for implementation in your productive system.

7. Choose the Enter pushbutton

8. Choose the Back pushbutton

3.1.2 Check Assignment of Plant to Company Code

UseA plant has to be assigned to a company code to enable stock valuation and almost all of the accounting functionalities. Accounting is not a part of the test scenarios of the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions; however, assignment to a company code is necessary just to be able to maintain mandatory accounting data for sample customers, vendors, and materials.

Procedure

1. Choose:

Transaction Code OX18

Customizing Menu Enterprise Structure Assignment Logistics - General Assign Plant to Company Code

2. Check that the following combination of values exists:

Field Name Input Value

Company Code 1000

Plant 1000

3. Choose the Exit or Back pushbutton to exit this activity.

3.1.3 Check Storage Location

UseStorage locations are needed for picking material in outbound delivery items. The picking process itself is not relevant for the test scenarios of the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions. Deliveries can be created without predetermined storage locations. Nevertheless, at least one storage location should be defined in every plant.

For the sample content of the rapid-deployment solution in SAP ERP, storage location 1020 (shop floor) is assigned to plant 1000. Storage location 1020 is not assigned to a warehouse number, meaning that picking activities can be performed in this storage location without confirming transfer orders in SAP ERP warehouse management.

Procedure

1. Choose:

Transaction Code OX09

Customizing Menu Enterprise Structure Definition Materials Management Maintain Storage Location

2. Check the following entries

Field Name Input Value

Plant 1000

Storage location 1020

Description Shop floor

3. Choose the Back (F3) pushbutton.

3.1.4 Check Transportation Zones

UseTransportation zones are part of the sample master data of the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions. They are assigned to business partners’ address data and to shipping points for route determination in SAP ERP. These sample zones are not used in SAP Transportation Management.

If you have transportation zones in your ERP system, they have to be replicated in SAP Transportation Management if they are relevant for transportation planning. Transportation zones are not replicated individually, but using the master data object to which they are assigned (customer master records). Also, the sample zones contained in the rapid-deployment solution are replicated in SAP Transportation Management, but they are not used in SAP Transportation Management.

3. Choose the Back (F3) pushbutton

3.1.5 Check Transportation Planning Points for Shipment Integration with SAP TM

Use

To create shipments in ERP, you require a transportation planning point.

Shipments in SAP ERP can be created by SAP Transportation Management directly or created in SAP ERP and replicated to SAP Transportation Management.

With SAP Transportation Management, you have to use different transportation planning points for the two integration points:

For ERP shipments created by SAP Transportation Management, you have to determine exactly one transportation planning point that will later have to be maintained as a transportation planning point for external systems (see Configuration Guide T58).

For shipments created in SAP ERP and replicated to SAP Transportation Management (tendering rapid-deployment solution only), you have to use different transportation planning points that are NOT defined as a transportation planning point for external systems.

Check the transportation planning points in your system and identify the one that is relevant for ERP shipment creation from SAP Transportation Management and those relevant for shipment creation in SAP ERP.

You CANNOT use the same transportation planning point for both options.

Note the transportation planning points for later usage when you configure your respective integration scenario:

6. Choose the Back (F3) pushbutton

For ERP shipments created in SAP Transportation Management, transportation planning point 1000 is used as the default for value mapping within SAP NetWeaver Process Integration. If you want to use a different transportation planning point, you will need to maintain value mapping within SAP NetWeaver Process Integration. For more information, see Configuration Guide T66.

3.1.6 Check Shipping Conditions

UseShipping conditions can be assigned to sales order types or customer master data. The SAP ERP sample configuration for the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions uses shipping conditions for shipping point and route determination in SAP ERP.

Shipping conditions can also be used in SAP Transportation Management to influence transportation planning. In SAP Transportation Management, they are mapped to transportation service level codes, which can be used in freight unit building rule determination.

See the following table for the shipping conditions used in the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions.

3.1.11 Check Picking Location Assignment

UseSAP WM is not included in the SAP ERP sample configuration for the SAP Transportation Management rapid-deployment solutions. We therefore assign storage location 1020 as the picking location.

Storage location 1020 is not assigned to a warehouse number. As a result, picking activities can be performed at this storage location without having to confirm transfer orders in SAP ERP warehouse management.

For implementation within your productive system, you can use a storage location that supports warehouse processes in SAP ERP.

Material master records have to be maintained for this storage location.

Procedure1. Choose:
