Configuring Transportation Lane Rules

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to analyze the purpose and key components of configuring transportation lane rules.

Introduction

You will learn how to configure transportation lane rules in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution. The Configure Transportation Lane Rules application helps determine the appropriate transportation lane based on criteria such as transportation group, packaging product type, material type, and material group.

You will explore the two main configuration methods and gain the ability to create, activate, and deactivate transportation lane rules. Understanding the default flag and its impact on transportation lane selection will empower you to optimize your cell and gene therapy logistics operations.

Transportation Lane Rules

In the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution, this application can be found under the Configuration tab or use Configure Transportation Lane Rules in the open search section to access it. This app helps us to determine the Transportation Lane based on the defined rules. Transportation group/Packaging product type from manage Material or Material type/material group combination, Source Address, and Destination Address.

The image shows the Home interface of an SAP application, with a menu of various configuration options, including Configure Temperature Condition Codes, Configure Transportation Group for Material, Configure Packaging Product Type for Material, and Configure Transportation Lane Rules.

Configuring Transportation Lane Rules

Based on Transportation Group/Packaging Product Type

Click on Create as pointed to in the figure above on how to create a new entry.

The Configuration consists of the following:

Unique ID of 40 Characters
For Transportation Group/Packaging Product Type as determination type
- Basic criteria consisting of transportation group and packaging product type from material
- Source location address consisting of postal address, city and country/region
- Destination location address consisting of postal address, city and country/region
Transportation lane ID to be determined depending on the above field values
Default flag to mark pick a transportation lane by default if there are multiple transportation lanes for the same data

The image displays the Configure Transportation Lane Rules interface of an SAP application. It shows the configuration options for transportation lane rules based on transportation group and packaging product type, including fields for basic criteria, source location address, and destination location address. The interface also allows creating new transportation lane rules.

Based on Material Type/Material Group

Click on Create as pointed to in the figure above on how to create a new entry.

The Configuration consists of the following:

Unique ID of 40 Characters
For Material type/material group as determination type
- Basic criteria consisting of material type and material group combination
- Source location address consisting of postal address, city and country/region
- Destination location address consisting of postal address, city and country/region
Transportation lane ID to be determined depending on the above field values
Default flag to mark pick a transportation lane by default if there are multiple transportation lanes for the same data

The image displays the Configure Transportation Lane Rules interface of an SAP application, specifically the section for configuring transportation lane rules based on material type and material group. The interface includes fields for basic criteria, source location address, and destination location address, as well as an option to create a new transportation lane rule.

Activation and Deactivation

When a new transportation lane rule is saved, the status is set to Active by default. At any point in time, the rule can be deactivated by providing the right Deactivation Reason, optional comments, and reviewing the Where used list. In the same way, deactivated entries can be activated by providing the right Activation Reason.

The image displays the Configure Transportation Lane Rules interface in an SAP application, showing the details of a specific transportation lane rule. It includes information such as the transportation lane ID, description, material type and group, source and destination location addresses, and the determined transportation lane. The interface also provides options to edit or deactivate the transportation lane rule.
