In an embedded SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management implementation, freight orders are created as part of the transportation execution process, typically based on predecessor documents. According to the SAP documentation:
* Order-based transportation requirement (A): This document is created from sales orders, purchase orders, or stock transport orders and serves as a predecessor to freight units and freight orders, defining the transportation demand.
* Freight unit (C): Freight units are created from order-based or delivery-based transportation requirements and are direct predecessors to freight orders, as they represent the logistical units of goods that are assigned to freight orders for execution.
The other options are incorrect:
* Sales order (B)triggers the creation of an order-based transportation requirement but is not a direct predecessor to the freight order.
* Shipment (D)is a concept from SAP ERP (LE-TRA) and is not used in SAP S/4HANA TM, where freight orders replace shipments.
