Landscape:

  • SAP S/4HANA with Embedded EWM

  • SAP TM integrated for:

    • Freight planning

    • Freight orders

    • Dock appointment scheduling

    • Yard execution

  • Integration via standard SAP integration framework

Challenges Observed During Testing:

  • Inconsistent delivery updates between TM and EWM

  • Delays in freight order updates after warehouse confirmation

  • Dock appointment conflicts with EWM execution

  • Difficulty troubleshooting message flow between TM and EWM

  • Business users confused about which system is the “source of truth”

My Question:

From real project experience, what are the most common design mistakes in TM–EWM integration?

Specifically looking for guidance on:

  • Ownership of key objects (delivery, FO, TU, HU)

  • Best practices for process orchestration between TM and EWM

  • Error handling and monitoring strategy

  • How to design clean responsibility split between transportation and warehouse execution

  • Lessons learned from productive implementations
