TM140 – SAP Transportation Management for LSP

TM140 – SAP Transportation Management for LSP focuses on the practical decisions required to manage forwarding orders, freight procurement, execution, charge calculation, and customer settlement for logistics service provider operations. The four lessons move from foundational design through execution and configuration to validation, troubleshooting, and accountable handover.

The scenario features a logistics service provider consolidating customer quotations, forwarding orders, subcontracted capacity, execution milestones, and margin control. Learners develop LSP master-data and agreement blueprint, forwarding sales and order evidence pack, capacity procurement and execution workbook, and LSP settlement and margin assurance plan while resolving controlled failures covering a service product cannot be determined for a customer lane; a confirmed quotation creates forwarding stages that violate the promised service level; a carrier booking is accepted without sufficient capacity for the consolidated demand; customer revenue and supplier cost use inconsistent distance or weight bases.

On completion, participants can process forwarding business, procure capacity, monitor execution, calculate customer and supplier charges, and analyze shipment profitability.
