Transportation management

  • 5 minutes

The Transportation management module in Supply Chain Management lets you use your company’s transportation, and allows you to identify vendor and routing solutions for inbound and outbound orders.

For example, you can identify the fastest route or the least expensive rate for a shipment.

You can use transportation management in Supply Chain Management for the following scenarios.

  • When you are using external logistics providers for transportation activities.
  • The company's own fleet is available for delivery/pickup, and delivery charges are transferred to customers.
  • The company's own fleet is available for delivery/pickup, but delivery charges aren't transferred to customers because product prices include transportation.
  • Logistics service is provided by another legal entity in the same company.
