  Bypass is a feature in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) that allows users to skip certain steps in a process. This feature can be used to speed up the process and reduce the amount of time needed to complete a task. Bypass can be used in various scenarios, such as when a user needs to quickly move an item from one location to another without having to go through the entire process.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the bypass feature, users must first enable it in the system settings. Once enabled, users can select the bypass option when they are prompted for a step in the process. This will allow them to skip that step and move on to the next one. It is important to note that bypassing steps may have unintended consequences, so it should be used with caution.
