SAP Transport Management System ( TMS )tutorial guide

You can organize, perform, and monitor transports between your SAP Systems using the Transport Management System (TMS). User actions at the operating system level are no longer necessary, since all the necessary information and functions are mapped in the SAP System.

Transportation in SAP – complete tutorial guide

Transportation is an essential element in the logistics chain. It affects both incoming and outgoing goods. Effective transportation planning and processing ensure that shipments are dispatched without delay and arrive on schedule. Transportation costs play an essential role in the calculation of the price of a product. It is important to keep these transportation costs to a minimum so that the price of a product remains competitive. Efficient transportation planning and processing helps to keep these costs down.

Transfer of logical message type PRICAT from R/3 to an external system, via ALE and IDocs

This business process allows you to export a logical message type PRICAT from R/3 to an external system, via ALE and IDocs, or to import it from an external system. (R/3 supports both EANCOM standard message type PRICAT and ANSI X12 transaction set 832.)
This is useful, for example, if you want to:

• Send a complete or partial list of your product offering (including prices) to your customers
• Send your data to a central database in PRICAT message format so that it is available so that authorized customers and suppliers can access it.
• Receive automatic notification of new or updated product and pricing information from your suppliers or from a central database.

Price catalog information for export includes the description, information about prices and pricing conditions (including taxes), and logistics information for each product. It can contain either general product information valid for all customers, or customer-specific information, such as
special conditions. You can also specify a time frame for which the price catalog is valid.

When an export is prepared, the R/3 system creates IDocs (SAP intermediate document format) for all materials to be included in the price catalog. These IDocs are sent to an external converter, which converts the IDocs into EANCOM standard message PRICAT or ANSI X12 format. The reverse process is true for data import.

Transportation of Wage Components to Payroll in SAP

This interface can be used by other applications to import wage components into the SAP-HR Payroll system. The wage components are processed in Payroll according to the Customizing settings for the accompanying HR wage type (for example, tax calculation) and are then stored in the payroll result. They are then available for subsequent processing steps (for example, payment, posting to Accounting).
