1.TM Architecture

1) SAP Transportation Management (TM) is a web-based application that manages all aspects of transportation operations like vehicle maintenance, routing, warehousing, and more. 2) Unlike conventional SAP systems that use transaction codes and ABAP, SAP TM uses a web user interface instead of the SAP GUI. 3) The web-based interface allows users to access SAP TM without installing any frontend software and is especially helpful for occasional or one-time users.

Lesson 1

TM Architecture
Definition of SAP TM
• The management of all
transportation operations of all types
including tracking and managing every aspect
of vehicle maintenance, fuel costing, routing
and mapping, warehousing, communications,
EDI implementations, traveller and cargo
handling, carrier selection and management,
accounting.
SAP TM
VS
Conventional SAP Systems
In SAP TM we rarely use transaction codes and ABAP programs.
There’s a reason for this: SAP Transportation Management (TM)
does not use the SAP GUI interface; it uses web user interfaces
instead.

T Code :A transaction Code (or t-code) consists of letters,


numbers, or both, and is entered in the command field at the
top of the SAP screen.
Ex: VA01 to Create a sales order in ECC
/N/SCMTMS/LOC3 : To Create a Location in SAP TM
Why a Web user Interface?
1) SAP TM’s web-based user interface (UI) can
be used without the user having to install
any frontend software on his computer.
2) This is especially helpful for users who don’t
use the application frequently or only
execute one business transaction in the
system

WEB UI
• SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC) is a
new SAP user interface (UI), presenting end
users with a seamless integration of classic
SAP GUI-based transactions and newly
developed applications based on Web Dynpro
ABAP.

 Internet Language and XML


WEB UI Screen
SAP WEB UI
 Client-installed SAP NWBC:
It is the preferred way in SAP TM.

 Portal:
You can directly integrate SAP TM user interface into SAP
NetWeaver Interface.

SAP GUI is restricted to six sessions opened in parallel, but


there is no such restriction in SAP NWBC.
Business Objects Processing Framework

 In year 2000, SAP TM has moved away from


the traditional framework of retrieving both
master data and transactional data directly
from database tables.

 The new framework, called the Business


Objects Processing Framework
(BOPF),encompasses both data storage and
data processing.
 It is the framework of choice not only in SAP TM, but also in
other SAP applications such as SAP Business By Design and SAP
HANA.

 The BOPF models the storage of data in an object-oriented way


and also merges the processing of data into the same framework.
Therefore, data storage and data processing are closely linked.

Transaction /BOBF/CONF_UI will find an overview of all business


objects used in SAP TM
 When working with SAP TM, you should no
longer use Transaction SE16N to display data
in the background.
 Instead, stick to the business object model
and display data in the object-oriented way.

To do this, you can use Transaction


/BOBF/TEST_UI.
SAP TM Integration
• SAP TM is integrated with SAP ERP using
Middle Ware.
• The Middleware used is in this case in Process
Integration called SAP PI.
• RFC call communicates Using functionality
Called Core interface
• Transaction Data Communicates using
Business Functions in case of PI or Directly if
required from Webservices.
