• Key Concepts: 
  Schedule-based means of transport is a feature of SAP's Vehicle Scheduling component of the Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) module. It allows users to plan and optimize the transportation of goods from one location to another using a schedule-based approach. This means that users can define the time and route of the transportation, as well as the type of vehicle used, in order to ensure that goods are delivered on time and in the most efficient manner possible. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use this feature, users must first define the transportation requirements for their goods. This includes specifying the origin and destination locations, as well as the type of vehicle needed for the transportation. Once these requirements have been defined, users can then create a schedule-based plan for the transportation. This plan will include details such as the route taken, the estimated time of arrival at each location, and any other relevant information. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a schedule-based plan for transportation, it is important to consider factors such as traffic conditions, weather, and other potential delays that could affect the delivery time. Additionally, users should also consider any additional costs associated with using a particular type of vehicle or route.
