  Key Concepts: 
  An association type is a feature of the SAP Logistics Global Trade Management (LO-GT) component that allows users to define relationships between different objects. This includes defining relationships between documents, such as purchase orders and invoices, or between different types of documents, such as sales orders and delivery notes. Association types are used to ensure that all related documents are linked together and can be easily accessed.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use association types, users must first define the relationship between the two objects. This can be done by creating an association type in the LO-GT component. Once the association type has been created, users can then link the two objects together by selecting the appropriate association type from a drop-down list. This will ensure that all related documents are linked together and can be easily accessed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an association type, it is important to ensure that the relationship between the two objects is clearly defined. This will help to ensure that all related documents are linked together correctly and can be easily accessed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in the association type, such as document numbers or customer names.
