Modern freight operations are complex—multiple carriers, dynamic rates, and constant pressure to control logistics spend. Even small discrepancies between planned and invoiced freight charges can erode margins, strain carrier relationships, and create headaches.
During the creation of a stock transport order (STO), it is important that the supplying plant confirms a realistic delivery date and loading start date to the receiving plant. This confirmation supports accurate planning of material availability and production schedules at the receiving plant.
In SAP TM, freight order creation can be planned through multiple approaches. Planners may build FOs manually in the Transportation Cockpit or rely on optimizer-based planning, which automatically creates FOs using lane definitions and means of transport.
