SAP Transportation Management in S/4HANA: Replacing LE-TRA with TM Basic and Advanced

Explains embedded and side-by-side SAP Transportation Management (TM) in SAP S/4HANA, the difference between the basic and advanced scope, and why LE-TRA (compatibility scope usage rights to December 31, 2030 on premise and longer under a cloud subscription such as RISE; ECC mainstream maintenance ends 2027) has no migration path, only redesign. Covers freight units, freight orders, planning in the transportation cockpit, carrier selection and tendering, freight settlement and its posting to finance, and the end-to-end tests that prove shipments still flow from order to invoice, using Contoso Motor Co.'s phased move off LE-TRA.
