Summary

This chapter provided us with an understanding of the transportation requirements and the configuration required to set up these transportation requirements in SAP TMS. At this point, you should have a good understanding of how the transportation requirement documents are created and the different options you can use, such as an order-based transportation requirement or delivery-based transportation requirement, based on your business needs. You also learned about the key concepts around SAP TMS document integration with SAP ERP, integrating ERP sales orders, and integrating ERP deliveries. These topics are not only beneficial but also act as a prerequisite to the transportation planning topic.

In the next chapter, we will cover transportation planning. Once the transportation requirements have been realized in SAP TMS, the next step is to undergo planning to achieve the most cost-optimal and effective transportation results.
