In a side-by-side scenario integrating SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management with sales orders and outbound deliveries, the process is as follows:
* Initially, 30 freight units are created from one sales order (1 freight unit per item).
* During planning, these are assigned to 3 trucks (10 freight units per truck).
* Delivery creation is triggered based on the planning result, and during packaging, up to 3 items can be packed into 1 case. Since each freight unit corresponds to one sales order item, 3 items per case means
3 freight units can be consolidated into 1 freight unit (representing the case).
With 30 freight units, consolidating 3 freight units per case results in:
* 30 / 3 = 10 freight units (each representing one case).
Thus, the minimum number of freight units in transportation management after packaging is10. According to the SAP documentation, freight units can be consolidated during the packaging process in integration scenarios, reducing the number of freight units while maintaining the planning result (assignment to trucks).
The other options are incorrect:
* A (12)andD (6)do not align with the consolidation math (30 / 3 = 10).
* C (3)assumes one freight unit per truck, which ignores the packaging consolidation.
