Manual Planning Process for Air Freight

Overview of the Manual Transportation Planning for Air Freight Process

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.
