Kevin M. Schaffer Saika B. Shaikh Whats Inside: Introduction Scenario Common Track and Trace Challenges Solution Overview Case Study Takeaways
The Scenario Scenario DESTINATION LOCATION A SHIPPER LOCATION DESTINATION LOCATION B The Scenario: A Shipment with 1 Pickup, and 2 Deliveries. SAP TM has planned an optimal route. Planned Arrival Loading Begin Loading Complete Planned Departure
Planned Arrival Unloading Begin Unloading Complete Planned Departure
Planned Arrival Unloading Begin Unloading Complete Shipment Completion
Scenario DESTINATION LOCATION A SHIPPER LOCATION DESTINATION LOCATION B What happens when an unplanned event occurs not according to plan? Do decision makers have the necessary information to make changes quickly? Can Customer Service Representatives provide customers with real-time shipment status? Can new ETAs be calculated based off of updated information? Is historical event data logged for future analysis?

The Transportation Process is broken down into 4 categories:
Order management- The initial event trigger in TM. Involves receipt of orders that require product movement from one location to another Transportation Planning- Plan the movement or transport of the products required
Transportation Execution- Includes the selection of carriers, initiation of goods issue, creation of a transport order, and trigger the decrement of inventory.
Financial Settlement- Freight contracts are reviewed to determine the correct pricing, Invoices are generated, and accounting processes are performed SAP Event Management (SAP EM) allows for the monitoring of end-to-end business processes by matching planned events and measurements with the actual events and measurements to uncover exceptions.
Monitoring & Visibility to key Business Processes EM Provides monitoring capabilities to any business process.
Matches Planned to Actual Data - Allowing organizations to identify exceptions.
Real Time Notification of Events - Provides timely data to organizations to react quickly.
Integration with other systems - Easily integrates with SAP and legacy solutions
Solution Overview ECC EM Scheduled Load Begin Load End Departure Arrival Unload End Unload Begin Transportation Management Solution Overview Solution Overview Solution Overview VISIBILITY AND MONITORING Ability to raise exceptions in certain scenarios: Location Deviations - Plan calls for arriving at location A, but arrived at location B Measurements If container temperature rises above required temperature Partner Performance If 3 rd party partner performance is deviating from plan COMMUNICATION ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN Events posted in the Event Management solution are available to other systems for complete communication across the supply chain
An integrated EM TM solution provides the following functionality: Solution Overview REAL-TIME NOTIFICATON OF EVENTS Ability to receive Planned and Actual events: Regular events - Occurs within the planned period (Ex: Arrived at location) Early / Late events - Occurs outside the planned period (Ex: Late departure) Unexpected events - Events that were never planned for (Ex: Delay Event) Unreported events - Event that was expected but did not receive (Arrival event not reported)
Real-Time notification allows operations personnel to react quickly, and allow representatives to keep customers informed with up-to-date information
Solution Overview REPORTING Ability to retain data in an easy-to-view format: Operational Reporting- View where issues are currently Analytical Reporting Determine trends over time BI Integration Ability to integrate EM with the BI Solution INTEGRATION OF NUMEROUS DATA SOURCES Numerous Transportation Data Sources can be integrated for full visibility Easy Visibility to transportation events via the TM NWBC or EM Web Interface
