• Key Concepts: 
  A compartment is a feature of the Vehicle Scheduling component of SAP's Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO). It is used to define the capacity of a vehicle, such as the number of passengers or the amount of cargo it can carry. Compartments are used to ensure that the vehicle is not overloaded and that it can safely transport its cargo.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use compartments, first define the capacity of each compartment in the Vehicle Scheduling component. This can be done by entering the maximum number of passengers or cargo that can be transported in each compartment. Once this is done, the system will automatically calculate the total capacity of the vehicle and ensure that it is not overloaded.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining compartments, it is important to consider the size and weight of the cargo that will be transported. This will help ensure that the vehicle is not overloaded and that it can safely transport its cargo. Additionally, it is important to consider any special requirements for transporting certain types of cargo, such as hazardous materials.
