Transportation Management with SAP LES

In this introduction, the vision and thoughts upon which this book is
based will be laid out. In addition, you find an overview of the individual
chapters.
1 Introduction
This book will give you a detailed and comprehensive description of shipping and
transportation system processes. Here, employees in the Shipping department,
programmers, managers, and consultants dealing with logistics will find practical
knowledge about all aspects of delivery processing with SAP software.
However, the level of detail is limited in the book due to page constraints. This
is particularly the case in the areas of picking, scheduling, dangerous goods management,
EDI processing, and shipment cost settlement. So, the focus will be on
editing these processes manually in the SAP system.
This book is intended to help you understand the mapping of processes in the SAP
system, and the basic knowledge acquired here will help you deepen your understanding
of certain functions and experiment with different buttons and icons.
Target Audience
This book is intended for users and employees in the shipping department. I will
introduce them to options for modifying SAP programs with their own variants
and list layouts, so that the system can best support their daily work. Employees
with a deeper understanding of the programming logic often find it useful to have
a quick look at the correct tables and customizing paths. These tips can be found
in the gray boxes with the title “Technical Information About ….”
The technical notes are also helpful for programmers, who should refer to these
tables when developing proprietary processes. Consider using these SAP standard
tables as much as possible when you deal with the control of processes that are
supposed to be integrated into the SAP system.
