• Key Concepts: 
  In-transit entry is a feature of SAP Foreign Trade (SD-FT) that allows goods to be shipped from one country to another without being subject to customs clearance in the transit country. This is done by creating an in-transit entry in the SAP system, which is then used to track the goods as they move through the transit country. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the in-transit entry feature, you must first create an in-transit entry in the SAP system. This can be done by entering the relevant information about the goods being shipped, such as the origin and destination countries, the type of goods being shipped, and any applicable taxes or duties. Once this information is entered, an in-transit entry will be created and can be used to track the goods as they move through the transit country. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an in-transit entry, it is important to ensure that all of the relevant information is entered accurately. This will help ensure that the goods are tracked correctly and that any applicable taxes or duties are paid on time. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes that may occur during transit, such as changes in destination or type of goods being shipped.
