  Key Concepts: 
  Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) is a unique 18-digit number used to identify a logistic unit, such as a pallet or box, in the supply chain. It is used in the LO-HU Handling Unit Management component of SAP to track and trace the movement of goods from one location to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SSCC is used to identify and track the movement of goods within the supply chain. It is assigned to a logistic unit when it is created and can be used to track the unit’s movement from one location to another. The SSCC can also be used to identify the contents of a logistic unit, as well as its origin and destination. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an SSCC, it is important to ensure that it is unique and not already in use. This can be done by checking with the relevant authorities or by using an online SSCC generator. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the SSCC is correctly entered into SAP so that it can be tracked accurately.
