Migrations from SAP LE-TRA to SAP TM
Moving from LE-TRA to SAP Transportation Management in SAP S/4HANA removes the risk of LE-TRA support expiring in 2030. It opens the door to greater automation, visibility and control over transportation.
Benefits
Service benefits
No risk from the end of LE-TRA support
Integration with SD, MM and EWM
A modern, flexible TM platform
Choice of basic and advanced versions
Transformation paths
SAP TM implementation options and data migration from the legacy LE-TRA module.
Embedded variant
- Processes in a single SAP S/4HANA instance - transportation managed without a separate TM system
- Simplified IT landscape - fewer interfaces and easier environment maintenance
Sidecar model
- TM as a standalone system - a dedicated instance working alongside ERP or ECC
- Integration with the existing ERP - implementation without converting the whole environment
Data migration
- DRF tools - master data replication instead of the outdated interface
- Data consistency and completeness - quality control of data transferred to SAP TM
Transition
Migration is not just a technical change but an opportunity to restructure and optimize workflows. We carry out the transition from LE-TRA to SAP TM in stages - from process analysis to the gradual launch of the new model.
Process analysis
We map LE-TRA functions to the new SAP TM standards and identify gaps.
Functionality selection
We choose the solution scope between the Basic version and the Advanced license.
Solution design
We build the transportation network in SAP TM; master data is replicated using DRF tools.
New document structure
We replace LE-TRA transportation documents with SAP TM freight orders.
Change management
We train teams to work with the modern transportation model.
System go-live
We roll out processes gradually and phase out LE-TRA.
