  Key Concepts: 
  Shipment tendering is a process in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) that allows customers to create and manage outbound deliveries. It involves creating a delivery document, assigning it to a carrier, and then tracking the delivery until it reaches its destination. The process also includes the ability to create and manage return shipments. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Shipment tendering can be used in SAP LE by first creating a delivery document. This document contains all the necessary information about the shipment, such as the customer, the destination, and the items being shipped. Once the document is created, it can be assigned to a carrier and tracked until it reaches its destination. The process also includes the ability to create and manage return shipments. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a delivery document, make sure to include all necessary information about the shipment. This includes the customer, the destination, and the items being shipped. Additionally, make sure to assign the document to a reliable carrier that can ensure timely delivery of the shipment. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Shipment tendering is closely related to other processes in SAP LE such as goods issue and goods receipt. Goods issue is when goods are physically shipped from one location to another, while goods receipt is when goods are received at their destination. Both processes are necessary for successful shipment tendering.
