  A checkpoint in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) is a location where goods are received, stored, and/or dispatched. It is used to track the movement of goods and materials within a warehouse or distribution center. Checkpoints can be physical locations, such as a loading dock or storage area, or virtual locations, such as a customer's address.
