In a shipper-to-logistics service provider (LSP) B2B scenario, both parties are using SAP Transportation Management. Which documents are involved? There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• ALSP's service order
• BShipper's freight unit
• CShipper's freight order
• DLSP's forwarding quotation

• A
  79% (33)
• B
  14% (6)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

In a shipper-to-LSP B2B integration using SAP TM on both sides, the Shipper's Freight Order (C) is the document the shipper creates to formally tender/assign a transport task to the LSP - it is the key outbound B2B document from the shipper. On the LSP's side, that incoming assignment triggers the creation of a Service Order (A), which represents the LSP's commitment to execute the transportation service. The Freight Unit (B) is incorrect because it is an internal shipper-side planning object used to consolidate cargo before a Freight Order is created - it is never exchanged with the LSP. A Forwarding Quotation (D) belongs to the LSP's Forwarding Order Management process (a separate scenario where a customer requests a quote), not the direct B2B tendering flow.

Memory tip: Think "Shipper Orders → LSP Serves" - the Shipper sends a Freight Order, and the LSP responds with a Service Order. The Freight Unit stays internal, and the Forwarding Quotation is for a different (quote-based) process entirely.
