• Key Concepts: 
  A transshipment location is a type of location in the Supply Network Collaboration (SCM-ICH) component of SAP. It is a place where goods are transferred from one mode of transport to another, such as from a truck to a train or from a ship to a truck. The goods are usually stored at the transshipment location until they can be moved to their final destination. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, transshipment locations are used to track the movement of goods from one mode of transport to another. This allows companies to monitor the progress of their shipments and ensure that they arrive at their destination on time. Transshipment locations can also be used to optimize the route of a shipment, as well as to identify potential delays or problems with the shipment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up transshipment locations in SAP, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included, such as the type of transport used, the estimated time of arrival, and any special instructions for handling the goods. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in the shipment’s route or schedule, as this can affect the delivery time and cost.
