Introduction: Now a days businesses are asking to create the automatic TU (Transportation Unit) creation once the PO &IBD created though ASN.

So, in this Blog I am going to explain the TU configuration and automatic TU & vehicle creation through PPF actions.

So, this blogs are categorized as below sections:

1. TU and Vehicle configuration steps in S4 and EWM
2. PPF Configurations
3. Testing

A)

IN S4:

1. Define Packaging Material Types for Shipping

14.Link between packaging material and means of transport

T-CODE: /N/SCWM/PM_MTR

1. B) PPF CONFIGURATIONS:

T-CODE: SPPFCADM

15.Application: /SCDL/DELIVERY

Action Profile: /SCWM/PDI_01

Action Definition: ZTU/SCWM/PDI_01_WT_CREATE

b2

Method: /SCWM/WHR_CREATE_VEHICLE

16.Condition Configuration

T-CODE: SPPFCADM

C)Testing:

1.Create IBD- VL31N

2.Maintain IBD- /N/SCWM/PRDI

c4

T-Code: /N/SCWM/TU

You can clearly see the particularly created TU has the assigned IBD to it.

Conclusion: By above steps I hope you understand the configuration steps of TU and PPF action setup and testing of TU and vehicle .
