With the below blog i would like to collate information about 3PL from business center, help center and some interesting SCN Blog/document on the same for easy understanding and consumption.
With the Third party Logistics (3PL) integration functionality, it is possible to connect SAP Business ByDesign system to an external warehouse management system of a third-party logistics provider. SAP Business ByDesign is used for purchasing, sales, and fulfillment processes including invoicing, whereas warehouse execution and transport is outsourced. The 3PL provider (warehouse provider), takes responsibility for all topics concerning the execution process. Communication is done via B2B interfaces (following UN/EDIFACT standard)
The scenario supports outbound, inbound, and inventory change processes that are physically carried out by the warehouse provider.
The supported outbound processes are:
- Sell from Stock
- Return to Supplier
- Stock Transfers
The supported inbound processes are:
- Procure to Pay
- Return from Customer
- Stock Transfers
The inventory side reflects "inventory changes in externally managed location", scrapping, consumption/return for cost center or projects, changes of stock attributes, and inventory alignment postings with the externally managed location
The document 'How-to Guide (For SAP Business ByDesign May 2013)' pretty much covers everything about 3PL scenario
