In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, a freight agreement RFQ master is used to solicit bids from carriers for multiple RFQ items. According to the SAP documentation, when Carrier A is not incumbent for three RFQ items and is removed from those, it remains eligible for the remaining four items. When individual freight agreement RFQs are generated, one RFQ is created per carrier for the items they are assigned to. Since Carrier A is assigned to four RFQ items,four individual freight agreement RFQsare created for Carrier A, one for each item.

The other options are incorrect:

A (1)is incorrect because a single RFQ would not cover multiple items for a carrier.

C (3)is incorrect because it reflects the items Carrier A was removed from, not the ones assigned.

D (7)is incorrect because Carrier A is not assigned to all seven items.

To use destination-based distance costs when planning freight orders with the VSR (Vehicle Scheduling and Routing) optimizer in SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, you must definecosts for distance in the transportation lane (A). According to the SAP documentation, the transportation lane contains cost-related data, such as distance-based costs, which the VSR optimizer uses to calculate the optimal plan based on the distance between source and destination locations. This ensures that the optimizer considers the cost implications of the route.

The other options are incorrect:

Planning strategy VSR_DEF (B)is a default strategy for the VSR optimizer but does not specifically address destination-based distance costs.

Costs for distance in the constraints and cost settings (C)are not a standard configuration area; costs are defined in transportation lanes or freight agreements.

A freight unit building rule that does NOT use default routes (D)affects freight unit creation, not the optimizer’s cost calculations.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the path finder is a tool used to analyze and visualize transportation routes and networks, helping planners understand possible paths for freight. According to the SAP documentation:
