• Key Concepts: 
  Tracking Identification (TID) is a feature in SAP Logistics Execution (LE) that allows users to track and trace goods and materials throughout the supply chain. It is used to identify and monitor the movement of goods, materials, and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption. TID can be used to track shipments, inventory, and other logistics-related activities. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP LE, TID is used to assign a unique identifier to each item or shipment. This identifier can be used to track the item or shipment throughout its journey. The TID can be assigned manually or automatically, depending on the user’s preference. Once assigned, the TID can be used to monitor the item or shipment’s progress through the supply chain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning a TID, it is important to ensure that it is unique and not shared with any other item or shipment. This will help ensure that the item or shipment can be tracked accurately and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all TIDs assigned in order to ensure that all items and shipments are accounted for. 
  
  Related Information: 
  TID is closely related to other features in SAP LE such as Goods Receipt (GR), Goods Issue (GI), and Warehouse Management (WM). These features are used in conjunction with TID in order to track and trace goods and materials throughout the supply chain. Additionally, TID can be used in conjunction with other SAP modules such as Sales & Distribution (SD) and Materials Management (MM).
