## Short answer

ShipERP is an SAP-native multi-carrier shipping product from ERP Integrated Solutions. It runs as an ABAP add-on inside SAP with no middleware, and covers rate shopping, label printing, tracking and proof of delivery for carriers such as UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS. It is offered for ECC and S/4HANA private cloud, with a public-cloud edition on SAP Store.

## Integration

**Method:** ABAP add-on inside SAP, no middleware

**Detail:** Because it is installed in the SAP system, it works from delivery and outbound processing in SD/LE, calls carrier services from SAP, and stores tracking and package data against the delivery. For ECC this means a transport-based installation and basis involvement. Confirm supported ECC support packs with the vendor.

**Method:** Carrier accounts and label printing

**Detail:** You supply your own carrier accounts. Labels print through SAP output management to label printers, so printer setup in the spool is part of the project.

## Data Flows

**From:** SAP outbound delivery

**To:** ShipERP

**Data:** Ship-to, weight, dimensions, service level

**Trigger:** Packing or delivery processing

**From:** ShipERP

**To:** Carrier

**Data:** Rate and shipment requests

**Trigger:** Rate shop or ship confirm

**From:** Carrier

**To:** ShipERP and SAP

**Data:** Label, tracking number, charges

**Trigger:** Shipment created

**From:** Carrier

**To:** SAP delivery

**Data:** Tracking events and proof of delivery

**Trigger:** Carrier updates

## Setup

### Confirm system compatibility

**Detail:** Verify ECC release, support pack and S/4HANA path with ERP Integrated Solutions.

### Install the add-on

**Detail:** Import transports through your landscape (development, quality, production) with Basis.

### Load carrier accounts

**Detail:** Configure UPS, FedEx, DHL or USPS credentials and service levels.

### Set package data

**Detail:** Ensure materials carry weight and dimensions, and define packaging materials.

### Configure label output

**Detail:** Set output types and spool devices for thermal printers at each packing station.

### Test rate shop

**Detail:** Compare rates to carrier portals for domestic, international and hazmat-excluded shipments.

### Go live by site

**Detail:** Start with one shipping point, then add others.

## Pitfalls

- Missing material weights or dimensions, causing wrong rates or rejected shipments.
- Carrier credentials stored per environment and not refreshed after copies of production.
- Label printers in the spool using the wrong ZPL driver or label size.
- International shipments lacking commercial invoice or harmonised code data.
- Dangerous goods not supported in the standard flow and shipped manually.
- Upgrades or support packs changing delivery user exits the add-on relies on.

## Ai Layer

### Shipping cost variance

**Description:** A private assistant compares billed carrier charges to quoted rates and flags deliveries where the difference is large, with likely causes such as dimensional weight.

### Late delivery questions

**Description:** Ask which orders for a customer are delayed and get tracking status joined to the sales order.

### Master data gaps

**Description:** List materials shipped with missing weight or dimensions and draft corrections for approval.

## Alternatives

- Your carriers' own web portals for very low parcel volume.
- A third-party shipping platform via SAP integration if you need many carriers beyond what ShipERP covers.
- SAP's own transportation and carrier integration options if you already run them.

## Faq

### Does ShipERP need middleware?

**Answer:** The vendor describes an ABAP add-on that runs inside SAP with no middleware. You still need Basis support to install it and network access to the carriers from your SAP system.

### Does it work with S/4HANA?

**Answer:** The listing covers SAP ECC, S/4HANA private cloud and a public-cloud edition on SAP Store. Check the exact editions and releases with the vendor for your system.

### Can AI help without touching SAP?

**Answer:** Yes. A read-only layer can analyse deliveries, charges and tracking data on your own infrastructure. Any change to shipments or master data should go through a person.
