TMP - The TM Podcast Team TM Podcast

We talk about the enhancement delivered for Error Handling in S/4HANA 2022. We now have the option to learn from errors solved in the past.

In this episode of the classic TM Podcast we are talking about exactly the new podcast: TM Podcast - Black Belt Edition.
What is this Podcast all about, how is it different from the good old TMP and who is the perfect audience for it, those are the things we talk about in this episode.
The TMP Blackbelt Edition can be found together with the other SAP podcasts at the SAP podcast directory at open.sap.com/podcasts or directly at https://podcast.opensap.info/tmp-black-belt-edition/

To address the problem that a tiny typo in a message can send the complete message into Forward Error Handling, even if a business user could solve it, we introduced the Error Handling concept in Order Management. This episodes describes the ideas and concepts of the error handling.

Since we talked about working in TM development a couple of episodes back a lot has changed. Currently all of TM development (and half of the world) is practicing social distancing and working from home. We wanted to share our experiences in terms of technology, meetings structures, keeping the coffee corner awake and other aspects on working under those special circumstances.

In this episode we introduce the Scenario Builder and talk about the key features of this powerful tool. Whether it is about large scenario tests, demos or proof of concepts we discuss how the tool can support the creation and replication of test scenarios in the TM System. After a brief overview we are focusing more on details, like the supported data objects and the actual process of how to get test data into the TM Systems. Additionally, the reuse of scenarios for multiple testers and across different systems is discussed.

Planning a Freight Unit in TM and what is planning in general is an interesting topic when working with the TM. In this episode a brief overview of planning is given, and topics related to Freight Unit planning are discussed. The important decisions, which have to be made in the context of Freight Unit planning are one part of the talk. Some basic parts of the Transportation Cockpit and Profile and Layout sets are covered as well. In this episode we focus on using the Transportation Cockpit for manually assigning Freight Units to Freight Orders or Resources with or without the mouse.
