• Key Concepts: 
  Shipment upsizing is a feature of the SAP SCM-ICH-TLB Transport Load Builder component that allows users to combine multiple shipments into one larger shipment. This helps to reduce costs and optimize the use of resources. It also helps to reduce the number of shipments that need to be tracked and monitored. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Shipment upsizing can be used by selecting multiple shipments in the Transport Load Builder and then combining them into one larger shipment. The user can then specify the desired parameters for the new shipment, such as the delivery date, carrier, and route. The system will then generate a new shipment with the combined items from the original shipments. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using shipment upsizing, it is important to consider the size and weight of the items being combined. If the items are too large or heavy, they may not fit into one shipment. Additionally, it is important to consider any restrictions or regulations that may apply to the shipment, such as hazardous materials regulations or customs requirements.
