• Key Concepts: 
  External Transfer of Control Date (ETOC) is a feature in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) that allows users to set a date for when the transfer of control of a shipment from one party to another should take place. This date is used to determine when the goods should be delivered and when the responsibility for the goods should be transferred from one party to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The ETOC date can be set in the SAP LE system by entering the date in the “External Transfer of Control Date” field. This field can be found in the “Shipment” tab of the “Shipment Header” screen. Once the ETOC date is set, it will be used to determine when the goods should be delivered and when the responsibility for the goods should be transferred from one party to another. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the ETOC date is set correctly, as this will determine when the goods should be delivered and when responsibility for them should be transferred. It is also important to ensure that all parties involved in the shipment are aware of the ETOC date, as this will ensure that all parties are on the same page regarding when the goods should be delivered and when responsibility for them should be transferred.
