This integration allows companies to use our world-class loading and routing algorithms upstream in the planning process to save on transportation costs while also allowing SAP TM to handle its core capabilities such as carrier selection, carrier payment, freight audits, etc.
In our standard OS4 configuration, you will have the two document flow options upon release:
When planning the loads in TLO or the Planboard, planners and CSR’s will have the ability to create the Freight Orders upon release. After the tours/loads are released, the Freight Order number is provided for the tour/load.
End users can click on the Freight Order number within the cockpits and it will automatically open the Freight Order in SAP TM.
In short, the answer is yes! OS4 can easily integrate with SAP TM.
As companies upgrade from SAP ECC to S4HANA, they weigh the decision of whether to use SAP TM or not. Due to this, we are often asked the question: “Can OS4 integrate with SAP TM?” Our latest releases of OS4 have standard integration with SAP TM to create Freight Units and Freight Orders upon release in both our TLO and the Planboard cockpits.
