Introducing Manual Planning for Air Transports

In this lesson, you will explore the transportation process for air freight. This process supports transportation planning, execution and monitoring in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition for air freight in a multi-modal transport. This process comes in three flavors depending on the type of order that initiates the transportation process. In an outbound scenario, the starting point is a sales order (scope item 6B2). In the inbound scenario, the starting point is a purchase order (scope item 6B3) and in the replenishment scenario, the starting point in a stock transport order (scope item 6B4). These processes / scope items are very similar to the respective processes / scope items for manual transportation planning. Transportation planning is done in the Manage Air Freight Bookings app and / or in the Transportation Cockpit. The key differences in all three processes / scope items compared to the manual planning for road are:

• The transportation result typically consists of three transportation stages (a pick-up stage from the source location of the transport to the airport of departure, a main stage from the airport of departure to the airport of destination, and a delivery stage from the airport of destination to the final destination.
• Multiple freight documents (freight bookings / freight orders) may be created and executed in this process.
