Yard Management
Purpose
SAP’s Yard Management (YM) extends warehouse management beyond the physical walls of the warehouse, enabling
management and control from the time that goods are planned to arrive at the warehouse.
Integration
Logistics Execution (LE)
YM is integrated with Logistics Execution through an interface (package LEINT).
Transportation(LE-TRA) and Shipping (LE-SHP)
YM integrates with the LES components for Transportation and Shipping . Shipments and deliveries are an integral part of YM ,
in uencing location scheduling and location determination. Shipments are updated upon completion of check-in, check-out,
loading and unloading activities, while deliveries are updated by check-in and scheduling activities. In addition, shipment data,
such as forwarding agent, determines the list of possible vehicles that can be assigned in YM to a speci c delivery or shipment.
Warehouse Management (LE-WM)
YM is integrated with Warehouse Management (WM) . Nevertheless, YM can work without a full WM implementation, as long as
certain WM entities, such as doors and staging areas, are de ned.
Cross-docking (LE-WM-CDK)
Planned cross-docking information is provided to YM , which in uences location scheduling and location determination. In
addition, location scheduling is accessible from Cross-Docking , with the availability of doors and staging areas determining the
viability of cross-docking decisions.
Features
YM provides the following features:
Management of Yard Processes
YM enables you to manage the following yard processes:
Check-in and check-out of vehicles
Scheduling of doors and staging areas for vehicles (manually or based on the system's automatic scheduling mechanism)
Creation and execution of movements in the yard (manually or based on the system's location determination mechanism)
Creation and execution of operations in the yard, such as weighing and sealing/un-sealing of vehicles
Registration of the start and nish of loading and unloading of vehicles (by delivery or for whole vehicle)
Provisionof Information to Forwarding Agents
YM provides Business Partners, such as freight forwarders, with information on their vehicles, including time in yard, current
location and processing status. This information may be provided either via the ERP system or via the Web.
6/5/2019
For more information, see Provision of Yard Inventory Information .
Monitoringand Response Tools
YM enablesyou to monitor all aspects of yard operations and invoke methods to respond to constantly changing circumstances
in the yard.
For more information, see Yard Monitor .
Alert and Troubleshooting Tools
YM providesinformation on actual and arising problematic situations in the yard, and enables you to handle exceptions.
For more information, see Yard Alert Monitor .
Scheduling Chart
YM enables you to view, manually create and maintain scheduling activities via the yard scheduling chart, a graphical
representation of scheduling activities for the yard.
For more information, see Yard Scheduling Chart .
Mobile Presentation
YM allows you to customize the presentation of data to a resource on a variety of presentation devices.
For more information, see Presentation Management .

Vehicle
De nition
A vehicle is a means of transporting or carrying goods.
Use
A vehicle may be created as a means of transport or transport equipment by:
1. Yard managers via the yard monitor . The yard manager may create a vehicle in a number of ways:
a. a. Invoking the Create method, whereby a vehicle is created, without reference to a document. The vehicle may
subsequently be assigned to a document.
For more information, see Creating a Standalone Vehicle .
b. b. Invoking the Process document method, whereby a vehicle is created with reference to the document.
For more information, see Processing a Document .
c. c. Invoking the Create check-in activity for an inbound document, whereby a vehicle is created with reference to
the document and is immediately checked-in
For more information, see Creating a Check-In Activity .
2. The checkpoint operator via the checkpoint tool .
For more information, see Using the Checkpoint Tool .
After a vehicle has been created, yard activities can be created for it.
In addition, vehicles can be attached and detached from one another. For more information, see Attaching Transport Equipment
to Means of Transport .
Integration
Vehicles are represented by handling units in the system. For more information, see Handling Unit .
Transport Equipment
De nition
Transport equipment is a category of vehicle representing moveable equipment containing goods. It is towed by a means of
transport and can then be detached from it.
Use
Transport equipment is implemented in the system as a packaging material category for a handling unit (vehicle category).
Recommendation
6/5/2019
We recommend that you create transport equipment for a vehicle that contains materials and detaches from a pulling
vehicle.
Where you want to also keep track of the pulling vehicle in the yard, you should also create a means of transport. For more
information on this scenario, see Attaching Transport Equipment to Means of Transport .
Handling Unit
De nition
A handling unit is a physical object representing a speci c vehicle for which activities are planned and executed in the yard.
Use
YM utilizes the handling unit (HU) to represent a vehicle in the yard. In addition, for each delivery assigned to a vehicle, the
system automatically creates a “logical” HU as a lower-level HU to the “vehicle” HU.
Note
Since vehicles cannot contain deliveries (they can only contain other HUs or materials), the system creates logical HUs with
the relevant delivery number in each HU’s header, in order to keep track of the deliveries assigned to a vehicle.
HUs in YM are an extension of the existing HU concept in Handling Unit Management (LO-HU) . For more information on the
general de nition, structure and use of handling units, see Handling Unit .
You can view the detailed HU data for a vehicle, including hierarchical display of HUs and the deliveries contained in the logical
HUs, via the Display HU details monitor method. For more information, see Yard Monitor Methods .
Structure
In addition to the normal HU attributes, an HU in YM consists of the following attributes (in HU header):
Yard
6/5/2019
Transport equipment stock status
Sealing number
Blocking indicator and reason code
Door and staging area
Urgency (for cross-docking purposes)
Planned times
Reference document information required for scheduling
Location and location class
Container ID
Forwarding agent, owner and transponder information
Handling units can comprise of lower level handling units.
Integration
HUM concepts are represented in YM as follows:
HUM Concept YM Concept
Handling unit Vehicle
Packaging material Vehicle type
Packaging material type Vehicle type group
Packaging material category Vehicle category
Example
HU 345 is a handling unit of packaging material category Means of Transport and packaging material type 20 Ton Truck
. It contains lower level handling unit 346 of packaging material category Transport Equipment and packaging material type
Container .
6/5/2019
Yard Activities
De nition
Yard activities are planned or executed actions in the yard.
Use
YM enables the creation of the following types of yard activities for vehicles :
Check-in/check-out
Scheduling
Movements
Weighing
Loading/unloading
Sealing/un-sealing
Note
The blocking and un-blocking of vehicles are also implemented as yard activities.
6/5/2019
A yard activity can be created in advance by yard managers and, to a more limited extent, desktop users. The activity can be
automatically con rmed, or subsequently con rmed by an RF device user, or the yard manager him/herself (via the Complete
con rmation monitor method).
An RF user can also create an activity during physical execution.
 Example
A movement activity can be created and immediately con rmed at the time when a spotter takes transport equipment and
moves it to a parking space proposed by the system.

Yard Activity Life Cycle
Yard activities can have any of the following statuses:
1 Planned – activity is created and available for execution
2 Started – activity execution has commenced
4 Completed – activity execution has been completed
5 Cancelled – activity has been manually cancelled (via Cancel

monitor method, or via scheduling chart in the case of scheduling activities)
6 Vehicle departed – the vehicle has left the yard
After a vehicle has been checked-out and has left the yard, the statuses of all its related
activities are changed to
6 Vehicle departed . The vehicle, and its activities, are displayed under the Departed Vehicles
object class in the yard monitor. These activities are later archived .
If the vehicle is permanent, it is also displayed under the Vehicle s object class.
Check-In
De nition
Check-in is a yard activity performed when a vehicle arrives at the checkpoint.
Use
Check-in is primarily performed by checkpoint operators using the checkpoint tool .
6/5/2019
This provides the most comprehensive check-in functionality, and enables checkpoint operators to create a range of follow-up
activities, such as scheduling in the background and movements. For more information, see Using the Checkpoint Tool .
In addition, check-in can be performed by the following users:
Yard managers via the yard monitor . For more information, see Creating a Check-In Activity .
Users via RF devices. For more information, see Executing a Check-In Activity .
When a vehicle is checked-in to the yard:
A check-in activity is created with status 4 Completed .
The vehicle’s location is updated to that of the checkpoint.
The Delivery has Status 'In Plant' indicator is set in any delivery to which the vehicle is assigned
The shipment to which the vehicle is assigned is updated as follows:
The status of the Check-in eld is set to Completed .
The actual date and time of check-in are lled in the relevant elds
Scheduling
De nition
Scheduling is a yard activity that involves the scheduling of a yard location for a vehicle .
Use
Scheduling activities can be created, using any of the following tools:
Yard monitor (yard manager)
For more information, see Creating a Scheduling Activity .
Yard alert monitor (yard manager)
For more information, see Alert Monitor Troubleshooting Tools .
Yard scheduling chart (yard manager and any other users)
For more information, see Creating a Scheduling Activity .
Checkpoint tool (checkpoint operators)
For more information, see Using the Checkpoint Tool .
Loading/unloading point tool
For more information, see Using the Loading/Unloading Point Tool .
When creating a scheduling activity using the monitor, alert monitor, checkpoint tool or loading/unloading point tool, the
scheduling is performed based on the system’s scheduling mechanism . When creating a scheduling activity using the scheduling
chart, you manually determine the scheduling times and location.
6/5/2019
Normally, a scheduling activity is created at a door. However, if you have de ned scheduling pro les for doors and staging areas,
a scheduling activity will be created also at a staging area. A scheduling activity will be created at the door’s related staging
area if you have done one of the following:
1. a.De ned door-staging area group relationships in Customizing for Logistics Execution Yard Management Location
Determination and Scheduling De ne Location Group Relationships
2. b.Assigned doors to staging areas and vice versa in Customizing for Logistics Execution Yard Management Yard
Map De ne Doors/Staging Areas
In the case of inbound vehicles, the start time of the scheduling activity at the staging area will be the same as the start time of
the scheduling activity at the door. In the case of outbound vehicles, the end time of the scheduling activity at the staging area
will be the same as the end time of the scheduling activity at the door. The duration of the scheduling activity at the staging
area is determined from the scheduling pro le.
When a scheduling activity is created, the following occurs:
The scheduling activity is given the status of 1 Planned . Its status changes as follows:
To 2 Started when the subsequent movement activity to the door is con rmed
To 4 Completed when the subsequent movement activity from the door is con rmed
To 6 Vehicle departed when the vehicle is checked-out of the yard
The relevant delivery is updated with the scheduled door/staging area.
System Scheduling
Use
When you attempt to create a scheduling activity for a vehicle , the system’s scheduling mechanism determines the optimal
time and location, and creates a scheduling activity accordingly.
Activities
You try to create scheduling activity for a vehicle assigned to an inbound or outbound document.
You can also create a scheduling activity for a vehicle assigned to a non-SAP document (behaves like a vehicle assigned to an
inbound document) or an empty vehicle (behaves like a vehicle assigned to an outbound document).
The system determines thepossiblelocations to be scheduled for the vehicle. The possible locations are those which meet the
following criteria:
a. The locations are within location classes entered in the scheduling pro le de ned for the yard and applying to the particular
document type.
6/5/2019
You de ne scheduling pro les for your yards in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management → Location
Determination and Scheduling → De ne Scheduling Pro les
b. The locations’ physical location types are suitable for the vehicle type group to which the speci c vehicle belongs. This will be
the case if:
i. No physical location types have been attached to the location; or
ii. A physical location type has been attached to the location, as well as a relationship between this location type and the vehicle
type group to which the speci c vehicle belongs.
You de ne physical location types and their relationships with vehicle type groups in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard
Management → Location Determination and Scheduling → De ne Location Type – Vehicle Type Group Relationships.
c. The locations function as an inbound location (in the case of a vehicle assigned to an inbound document) or an outbound
location (in the case of a vehicle assigned to an outbound document).
The functionality of a location is determined from one of the following:
i. The location’s de nition in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management → Yard Map → De ne Doors/Staging
Areas/Yard Locations , if the functionality is not speci cally de ned for the relevant time period per ii below. For more
information on the relevant time period, see 2a. below.
ii. Location-time dependent properties in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management Location Determination and
Scheduling De ne Location Group – Time Dependent Properties
When creating a scheduling activity via the monitor, you can further reduce the pool of possible locations by entering a speci c
location class or location class and location in the Create Scheduling Activity dialog box. For more information, see Creating a
Scheduling Activity .
The system determines thetimes during which each possible location can possibly be scheduled for the vehicle
a. For each possible location, the system analyzes the period of time starting from the From time and ending at the To time.
These times are either manually entered in the Create Scheduling Activity dialog box (which appears when you invoke the
Create Scheduling Activity monitor method), or are determined by the system.
If, for an outbound vehicle, you enter a To time that is greater than the shipping time (in outbound document), a warning
message appears. If you elect to continue, the system uses the shipping time as the To time.
In case the times are not manually entered, the system determines the times as follows:
i. Inbound vehicles: From time is the latter of the current time and the arrival time (taken from the document); To time is the
From time plus the scheduling horizon, as de ned in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management → General
6/5/2019
Settings → De ne Yard
ii. Outbound vehicles: From time is the current time; To time is the shipping time (taken from the document).
In both the case of manually and non-manually entered times, if the shipping time has already passed, the To time is the From
time plus the scheduling horizon.
In the case of scheduling a cross-docking decision, the times are determined as follows:
i. Outbound documents: From time is the release time; To time is the outbound document reference time
ii. Inbound documents: From time is the expected arrival time; To time is the actual planned start time for which the outbound
document item has been scheduled
For more information on scheduling for a cross-docking decision, see Creating a Cross-Docking Plan in the SAP Library for
Cross-Docking
b. The system breaks this time period down further according to the start and end times of the scheduling time window for each
day, or the working times and calendar, as de ned in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management → Location
Determination and Scheduling → De ne Scheduling Pro les.
c. Over this time period, the system checks all of the existing scheduling activities, and their durations, at the possible locations.
For the duration of each scheduling activity, a location will be unavailable for the vehicle, unless the location still has capacity for
the vehicle, given the physical location type – vehicle type group relationship.
6/5/2019
d. For a location, the system disregards those times during which the location does not function as inbound/outbound,
depending on the document type to which the vehicle is assigned.
The result is a determination of the possible times during which each possible location is available for the vehicle, taking into
account the duration of the scheduling activity.
The duration of the scheduling activity is determined from one of the following:
Manually in the Create Scheduling Activity dialog box
The rough workload estimate
The default duration
For more information, see the IMG for Logistics Execution → Yard Management → Location Determination and Scheduling →
De ne Scheduling Pro les.
The systemschedules a particular location and time periodas follows:
6/5/2019
a. If a relationship has been de ned between the location group containing the vehicle’s “dominant” storage type, and a door
location group, the system selects theearliest availabledoor from the door group. For more information, see the IMG for
Logistics Execution → Yard Management → Location Determination and Scheduling → De ne Location Group Relationships.
b. In the case of scheduling for an inbound document of a cross-docking decision, if the door scheduled for the outbound
document is part of a door group also containing “inbound” doors, the system will select the earliest available inbound door
from this group.
You de ne door groups in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management Location Determination and Scheduling
De ne Yard Location Groups
c. In all other cases, the system chooses the earliest available location.
The system determines the earliest available location for inbound vehicles by checking from the From time onwards.
The system determines the earliest available location for outbound vehicles by checking from the To time backwards.
If the To time is after the shipping time, the system checks from the shipping time backwards. If the system nds no available
time, it checks from the shipping time onwards.
If the From time is later than the shipping time, the system checks from the From time onwards.
The system also schedules for this time period one of the following:
a. One of the staging areas assigned to the scheduled door in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Yard Management → Yard
Map → De ne Doors
b. One of the staging areasin the location group related to the door’s location group, if staging areas are not speci cally
assigned to the door
c. Any staging area, if no staging areas are assigned to, or related to, the door
In the case of an outbound vehicle, if the staging area is already assigned to the outbound delivery, the staging area will be
scheduled rst, and then the door.
When scheduling locations for more than one vehicle, the system schedules locations for the higher priority vehicles before
scheduling for the lower priority vehicles.
When the system performs scheduling for a cross-docking decision and no vehicle exists for any of the documents, Yard
Management creates a “dummy” vehicle, based on the default vehicle type, and assigns it to the document.
Movement
6/5/2019
De nition
A movement activity is a yard activity created in the system to track a vehicle’s movements in the yard.
Use
Movement activities can be created in advance by any of the following users:
Yard managers via the yard monitor . For more information, see Creating a Movement Activity .
Checkpoint operators via the checkpoint tool (movements from checkpoint to a parking space or door). For more
information, see Using the Checkpoint Tool .
Desktop users via the loading/unloading point tool (movements from the door). For more information, see Using the
Loading/Unloading Point Tool .
When a movement activity is created in advance, it can be created with or without automatic con rmation.
If it is created with automatic con rmation, the movement activity is created with status 4 Completed .
If it is not created with automatic con rmation, the movement activity is created with status 1 Planned . It can be
subsequently con rmed by an RF user, or yard manager via the Complete con rmation monitor method. For more
information, see Yard Monitor Methods .
In addition, movement activities can be created during physical execution by RF device users. For more information, see the
following:
Executing a System-Guided Movement Activity
 Example
A spotter scans transport equipment and moves it to a parking space proposed by the system.
The con rmation of a movement activity for a vehicle also affects the status of any scheduling activity for the same vehicle:
When a movement activity to the door scheduled for a vehicle is con rmed, the status of the scheduling activity changes
from 1 Planned to 2 Started.
When a movement activity from the door scheduled for a vehicle is con rmed, the status of the scheduling activity
changes from 2 Started to 4 Completed.
Note
Movement activities are optional. Vehicle locations can be manually changed via the Modify monitor method .
Movement Destination Determination

Use
When a movement activity is created, the system proposes the destination location. You can either accept this proposal, or
override the system and enter your own destination location.
6/5/2019
Features
The system determines the destination location of a movement activity as follows:
Vehicle Location Situation System Determined Destination
Checkpoint Door has been scheduled for vehicle and

1. One of the least crowded parking

by the system in determining the destination of a movement activity. For more information, see Add-Ins .
6/5/2019
Weighing
De nition
Weighing is a yard activity created in the system to register the weight of a vehicle .
Use
Weighing activities can be created and executed by any of the following users:
Yard managers via the yard monitor . For more information, see Creating a Weighing Activity .
Checkpoint operators via the checkpoint tool . For more information, see Using the Checkpoint Tool .
Desktop users via the loading/unloading point tool . For more information, see Using the Loading/Unloading Point Tool .
Alternatively, these users can create weighing activities to be executed later by another worker.
Loading and Unloading

De nition
Loading/unloading is a yard activity created in the system to track the progress of the loading/unloading of goods in to/from a
vehicle .
Use
The start and nish of loading and unloading activities can be registered by the following users:
Yard managers via the yard monitor ( nish loading only). For more information, see:
Loading a Vehicle
Unloading a Vehicle
RF users. For more information, see Loading or Unloading a Vehicle .
You can register the loading or unloading of a vehicle, or only of selected deliveries of the vehicle.
When you register the start of loading/unloading, a loading/unloading activity is created with the status of 2 Started.
When you register the end of loading/unloading of a vehicle, the status of the loading activity changes to 4 Completed , and
the stock status of the vehicle changes from:
1 Empty to 3 Full in the case of loading
3 Full to 1 Empty in the case of unloading
When you register the end of loading of some of the deliveries, the stock status of the vehicle changes from 1 Empty to
2 Partially full, or to 3 Full , depending on whether or not you indicate that the remaining deliveries are to be
6/5/2019
loaded at a later time.
When you register the end of unloading of some of the deliveries, the stock status of the vehicle changes from 3 Full to
2 Partially full.
After a loading or unloading activity for a vehicle is completed, the vehicle can be moved from the door.
Sealing and Un-Sealing

De nition
Sealing is a yard activity performed after a vehicle is fully loaded , while un-sealing is a yard activity performed before unloading
commences for a vehicle.
Use
Sealing and un-sealing activities can be created and executed by any of the following users:
Yard managers via the yard monitor . For more information, see Creating a Sealing or Un-Sealing Activity .
RF users. For more information, see Sealing or Un-Sealing a Vehicle .
When sealing or un-sealing is executed for a vehicle, a sealing activity is created with status of 4 Completed .
Note
You can make sealing a precondition of check-out for all vehicles in the yard by setting the Sealing indicator in Customizing
for Logistics Execution Yard Management General Settings De ne Yard.
You can make sealing a precondition of check-out for a speci c vehicle in the yard by setting the Sealing indicator when
creating the vehicle. For more information, see Creating a Standalone Vehicle .
Check-Out
De nition
Check-out is a yard activity performed when an outbound vehicle arrives at the checkpoint from within the yard.
Use
Check-out is primarily performed by checkpoint operators using the checkpoint tool . For more information, see Using the
Checkpoint Tool .
In addition, check-out can be performed by the following users:
Yard managers via the yard monitor .
For more information, see Creating a Check-Out Activity .
Users via RF devices.
6/5/2019
For more information, see Executing a Check-Out Activity .
When a vehicle is checked-out from the yard:
A check-out activity is created with status 6 Vehicle departed.
All of the activities associated with the vehicle are given the status of 6 Vehicle departed .
The shipment to which the vehicle is assigned is updated as follows:
The status of the Shipment end eld is set to Completed .
The actual date and time for end of shipment are lled in the relevant elds.
If the vehicle has been de ned as permanent, the vehicle remains in the database. If it travels to another yard, it is visible
in the new yard. If it travels to an external location, its location is either empty or updated to the external location via
Business Add-In LXYRD_ACTIVITY_PROC.
If the vehicle has not been de ned as permanent, it is removed from the database.

down the hierarchy tree are displayed.
If you did not enter any selection criteria, the yard object only is displayed in both the hierarchy tree and the ALV.
Yard Monitor User Interface

The yard monitor has a user-friendly interface which utilizes Drag&Drop functionality. The interface comprises of the following
two areas:
Hierarchy tree
ALV (SAP List Viewer)
Hierarchy Tree
The object hierarchy tree, located on the left side of the monitor, is a navigation area consisting of the various object classes,
associated objects and their attributes. Using the tree, you can display the object classes and objects, as well as perform
methods on them.
ALV
The ALV, located on the right side of the monitor, contains all elds of the object records and can display records of all retrieved
objects simultaneously. This area is synchronized with the object hierarchy tree. You can also perform methods from the ALV
tool bar.
Note
For more information on the ALV, see the SAP Library for SAPNetWeaver Components SAP Web Application Server Basis
Services/Communication Interfaces (BC-SRV) SAP List Viewer (BC-SRV-ALV) .

of particular importance to mobile presentations, where exibility in displaying data on the screen and adjusting transactions to
changing requirements is indispensable.
The customizing options include the de nition of the following:
Personalized menus and menu tree, including the ability to include external transactions such as those used in Mobile
Data Entry (LE-MOB) .
Personalizing pro les to ensure that all data displayed on the screen is adjusted to meet the requirements of a
particular user or groups of users
Display pro les to re ect the physical properties of different presentation devices
Physical screens, including size properties, pushbutton quantities and sizes, and template and list screens to be used
Dynamic parameters
Function code and veri cation pro les
Personalized pushbutton texts
New logical transactions
Personalized step ow
In addition, you can use the screen conversion tool to effectively adjust the size and position of screen elements to t the
physical dimensions of any presentation device.
