• Key Concepts: 
  A transportation lane is a route that is used to transport goods from one location to another. It is a part of the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite. The transportation lane defines the route, mode of transport, and other details related to the movement of goods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Transportation lanes can be created in the APO system by defining the source and destination locations, as well as the mode of transport. The system will then calculate the cost and time associated with the transportation lane. Once created, the transportation lane can be used for planning and scheduling shipments. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a transportation lane, it is important to consider factors such as cost, time, and environmental impact. Additionally, it is important to consider any restrictions or regulations that may apply to the route.
