TM 202 · CAPABILITY MAP
Which Basic TM capability answers my question?
Use this map to open the Basic TM control you need. The course path excludes automated carrier selection, tendering, optimizer-driven planning, and advanced load or vehicle-scheduling topics.
How does business demand enter Basic TM?
Basic TM can only plan what the business process has made transportation-relevant. Sales Orders and Purchase Orders remain upstream context; the Basic TM spine begins when delivery-based or transportation demand reaches TM with complete, traceable data.
Open topicTM 202 · QUALIFYHow does demand become plannable freight?
Basic TM represents transportation-relevant demand and applies freight-unit-building rules to create planning units. FUBR stays here as the rule that turns demand into Freight Units.
Open topicTM 202 · ENABLEWhat master data makes a Basic TM plan possible?
A planning profile cannot repair incomplete master data. Basic TM needs trustworthy locations, zones, time, distance, resources, equipment, carriers, freight agreements, and rates before it can make a feasible plan.
Open topicTM 202 · PLANHow does Basic TM create a feasible transportation plan?
Planning assigns compatible Freight Units to Freight Orders. A good Basic TM result makes route, schedule, resource, equipment, capacity, stops, and assigned freight visible and explainable.
Open topicTM 202 · MOVEHow do transport and warehouse execution stay aligned?
TM owns the transportation plan and Freight Order execution view. Delivery and warehouse processes own picking, packing, staging, loading, receipt, and inventory execution. Integration must preserve one operational story across those responsibilities.
Open topicTM 202 · SETTLEHow does freight cost reach finance?
Basic TM calculates expected transportation charges from freight agreements and rates. A Freight Settlement Document represents carrier cost and supports purchasing, service entry, accrual, invoice verification, and FI integration.
