Integration

Business Function AIE ERP Integration

ERP_AIE_INTEGRATION: Business Function AIE ERP Integration (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, the business function AIE ERP

Integration is available.

You can use this business function to perform the already available outbound and

inbound delivery processing in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure, now with SAP Auto-ID

Infrastructure deployed as an optional add-on for SAP ERP.

Additionally, this business function supports RFID for several logistic execution actions

in a centralized SAP Warehouse Management (WM) system that uses handling units or

storage units.

Finally, this business function synchronizes the date and time of a delivery document

between SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and SAP ERP when SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is

not deployed as an optional add-on for SAP ERP.

Effects on Customizing

Integration of SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure inbound or outbound delivery with SAP

ERP

o If you want to integrate the outbound delivery in a system landscape where SAP

Auto-ID Infrastructure is used as an add-on for SAP ERP, you can activate BAdI

implementation Implementation: Outbound ASN Enrichment with Tags from

SAP AII in Customizing for SAP ERP under Logistics - General -> Supply Chain

Planning Interfaces (SCPI) -> Auto-ID Backend Integration -> IDoc Processing ->

Implementation: Outbound ASN Enrichment with Tags from SAP AII.

o If you not only want to integrate the outbound delivery in a system landscape

where SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is used as an add-on for SAP ERP, but also

want to sent an event capture notification in such a system landscape, you can

activate BAdI implementation Implementation: Outbound ASN Enrichment from

and Triggering ECN in SAP AII in Customizing for SAP ERP under Logistics -

General -> Supply Chain Planning Interfaces (SCPI) -> Auto-ID Backend

Integration -> IDoc Processing -> Implementation: Outbound ASN Enrichment

from and Triggering ECN in SAP AII. Hint

You can only activate one of the following BAdI implementations at the same

time:

- Implementation: Outbound ASN Enrichment with Tags from SAP AII

- Implementation: Outbound ASN Enrichment from and Triggering ECN in

SAP AII

- Implementation: Classical Delivery Enrichment with Tags

o If you want to integrate the inbound delivery in a system landscape where SAP

Auto-ID Infrastructure is used as an add-on for SAP ERP, you can activate the

following BAdI implementations in Customizing for SAP ERP under Logistics -

General -> Supply Chain Planning Interfaces (SCPI) -> Auto-ID Backend

Integration -> IDoc Processing -> Implementation: Inbound Delivery Document

Creation in SAP AII:



- Implementation: Inbound Delivery Document Creation in SAP AII

- Implementation: Read Inbound Delivery ID from Buffer

- Implementation: Add Inbound Delivery Document to Buffer

Integration of SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure with Warehouse Management (WM) in

SAP ERP for handling unit movement

o If you want to use the new enterprise service to move handling units (HUs) or

storage units (SUs) inside the warehouse, you can use the Business add-In for

Integration of SAP AII Business Add-In for Integration of SAP AII Business Add-

In (BAdI) implementation. If you do not use this BAdI implementation, the default

implementation of fallback class CL_WM_SE_HUMOVE_FALLBACK is used.

The new enterprise service uses service operation Change Handling Unit

Logistics Area of service interface Handling Unit Processing In.

For more information, see Customizing for SAP ERP under Logistics Execution -

> Warehouse Management -> System Modifications -> Business Add-Ins in

Warehouse Management -> Business Add-In for Integration of SAP AII.

Hint

To use the default implementation of the LE_WM_SE_HUMOVE BAdI, you must

have already defined resource types and resource element types in Customizing

for SAP ERP under Logistics Execution -> Task and Resource Management ->

Master Data -> Resource Management.

Delivery Date Time Stamp Synchronization

o If you want to synchronize date and time with time zone, you can use BAdI

implementation Implementation: Delivery Date/Time Synchronization (Flexible

Del.Proc.) in Customizing for SAP ERP under Logistics - General -> Supply

Chain Planning Interfaces (SCPI) -> Auto-ID Backend Integration -> IDoc

Processing -> Implementation: Delivery Date/Time Synchronization (Flexible Del.

Proc.).

Secure Tracking and Tracing Business Scenario

o If you want to use the secure tracking and tracing business scenario, you have to

switch on the LOG_LE_INTEGRATION business function to get the correct date

and time. You also have to activate the BAdI implementation for the flexible

scenario.

Effects on Existing Data

Incoming Invoice

Technically, the data is transferred from the external transportation management

system to SAP ERP using an enterprise service. In SAP ERP, internal documents that

the system requires for invoice creation are created on the basis of this TMS data.

When incoming invoices are entered, the connected external transportation management system is informed by enterprise service (Supplier Invoice

Notification - InvoiceNotification_Out).

Set User Parameters (Incoming Invoice)

With the user parameter TM_INVOICE_CLERK, you control which tabs the user sees

when entering or changing invoices in the transactions MIRO and MIR7 and in change

mode in the transaction MIR4.

You must set up the user parameter TM_INVOICE_CLERK in the user data

accordingly.

The user parameter has the following alternatives:

o Blank

In invoice creation, the user sees the TM Reference and PO Reference tabs, as

well as all tabs that are visible according to Customizing (Material Account, G/L

Account, and Contract Reference).

o 01

The user only sees the TM Reference tab and, depending on Customizing, the

G/L Account tab. The PO Reference tab is hidden.

o 02

The user does not see the TM Reference tab, but sees the PO Reference tab,

as well as all tabs that are visible according to Customizing (Material Account,

G/L Account, and Contract Reference).

LOG_TM_IV_INT: Invoice Receipt IDocs Enhanced (New)

Use


function TMS-ERP: Invoice Integration (LOG_TM_IV_INT) you can enter invoices in

the system that refer to documents in an external transportation management system

(TMS).

In the IDoc INVOIC01/INVOIC02 (invoice/billing document) there is a new qualifier in

the segment type E1EDP02 that specifies the TMS document more exactly (field

QUALF - data element EDI_QUALFR).

The following qualifiers are new:

o T01 = Freight order

o T02 = Bill of lading

o T03 = Air waybill

o T04 = Flight number

o T05 = Voyage number Note

For technical reasons, in SAP ERP one purchase order is created per freight

settlement document, which the system requires for invoice creation.

If several freight settlement documents are transferred with reference to one

TMS document, the EDI invoice item can only be assigned using this purchase

order number. For a unique assignment, there is also the qualifier TP1 = TMS

purchase order number.

It is possible to transfer several segment types E1EDP02 per invoice item with

the IDoc (for example, the qualifiers T01, T03, and TP1).

fields, such as the delivery costs, are then hidden on the selection screen.

The results list displays information relevant for transportation, such as freight order or

bill of lading.


Set up the user parameter TM_INVOICE_CLERK in the user data accordingly.

You use this user parameter to control whether the Transportation Management (Ext.

TMS) tab is displayed.

LOG_TM_ORD_INT: Enhanced Scheduling in Sales Orders (New)

Use


function ERP-TMS: Order Integration (LOG_TM_ORD_INT), you can also schedule

sales orders in an external transportation management system.

The following transactions were enhanced for this purpose:

o Create Sales Order (transaction VA01) and Change Sales Order (transaction

VA02)

When creating or changing sales orders, scheduling takes place in the

connected transportation management system instead of the shipment

scheduling and transportation scheduling in SAP ERP. The system schedules

backwards from the requested delivery date. If the requested delivery date is not

feasible or too close to today's date, forward scheduling takes place based on

the material availability date.

The ERP system expects the following standard dates when scheduling takes

place in an external transportation management system: delivery date, goods

issue date, loading date, material availability date, and transportation planning

date. You can find these dates in the delivery schedule line view of the item data

on the Shipping tab page.

If the business function is active, the availability of an item is not checked when

Enter is pressed (this is how the system previously behaved). Instead, in the

order view of the sales order, there are two new pushbuttons: Check Document

Availability and Check Group Availability.

- Check Document Availability

When checking document availability, the system schedules and checks the availability for all document items; it also checks any items that have

already been checked.

- Check Group Availability

When checking group availability, the system schedules and checks one item or several items together; here only new or changed items are

checked. This check is also run when a document is saved.

The availability checking screen is displayed in accordance with your

Customizing settings. For a material with a replenishment lead time, the

replenishment lead time is displayed starting from the material availability date

without calculated transportation and shipping times.

In contrast, with scheduling in SAP ERP, the replenishment lead time is

displayed inclusive of the calculated shipping and transportation times.

o Rescheduling (transaction V_V2)

In rescheduling, scheduling is done in the connected external transportation

management system.

To obtain a reliable result, you should always schedule sales orders completely

in the external transportation management system. If you want to schedule

document-by-document, you must select the document number as the first sort

criterion.


You must make the following settings in Customizing for Logistics - General

(Logistics - General -> Integration with an External Transportation Management

System -> Order Integration):

o Activate Transfer of Sales Documents



Set up the transfer of sales documents for the relevant document types.

The control key must be created for the corresponding order type.

o Define Control Keys for Document Transfer

Specify which documents are to be transferred to the external transportation

management system.
