  Wait time is a feature of SAP's Vehicle Scheduling component of the Supply Chain Management-Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SCM-APO) module. It allows users to set a specific amount of time for a vehicle to wait at a certain location before continuing its route. This feature is useful for optimizing the efficiency of vehicle routes, as it allows for more accurate scheduling and planning. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Wait time can be set in the Vehicle Scheduling component of SCM-APO. To do this, users must first select the vehicle they wish to set wait time for. Then, they can select the location where they want the vehicle to wait and enter the desired amount of time. Once this is done, the vehicle will wait at that location for the specified amount of time before continuing its route. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting wait times, it is important to consider the overall efficiency of the route. If wait times are too long, it can lead to delays and inefficiencies in the route. Therefore, it is important to set wait times that are appropriate for each location and that will optimize the efficiency of the route.
