TMP - The TM Podcast

This episode is about the new 9.3 functionality, the package builder which can consider packaging rules to find out how many packages/pallets will be most likely used when transporting the materials as defined in the orders.

PS: The packaging information is not considered in the delivery creation...

As good agile developers we did some refactoring in TM 9.3. This episode is about the UI part of the refactoring. We talk on why, where and how we refactored.

TECH Warning: This one is really technical, if you liked the FBI episode, you will love it, if you don´t know what FBI (in TM context) is, you may skip this episode.

This Episode of TMP is about the NetWeaver Business client, the cool grandchild of the good old SAP GUI. We look into the settings, installation and the very cool search providers.

You will love it (the NWBC, maybe also the episode)

This Episode is about Strategic Freight Procurement with SAP TM.

Visual Business is SAPs tool to display business data in an natural way. It allows to show objects on a map and/or in 3D and interact with them. This is used in transportation management and so we took the chance to talk about Visual Business as such and how it is used in the TM world.

The SAP TM Collaboration Portal is an web based component allowing collaboration between TM and the carriers. It covers freight procurement, tendering, execution and finally invoicing/dispute management. So a lot to talk about.

The trigger concept is used to handle locking situations, allow asynchronous updates and separation of concerns.

This episode is about "Strategy to Action" :->

We talk about the way transportation execution is handled within TM.

The focus topic of this episode is Load Planning / Vehicle Space optimization with TM 9.1. As this is a brand new area for us there is a lot to talk about, and so we did :->
