  Key Concepts: 
  Electronic toll collection (ETC) is a system used to collect tolls from vehicles without requiring them to stop at a toll booth. It is an automated system that uses electronic tags, transponders, or license plate recognition technology to identify vehicles and charge the appropriate toll. The collected tolls are then processed and recorded in the FI-CA Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable component of SAP.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use ETC with SAP, you must first set up the FI-CA Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable component. This includes setting up the necessary accounts, such as tolls receivable and payable, as well as any other accounts related to ETC. Once this is done, you can then configure the system to recognize vehicles and charge the appropriate tolls.
