• Key Concepts: 
  Carrier capacity is a term used in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) component Network & Operations for Container Shipping Liners (TM-ADP-CSL-NAO). It refers to the total number of containers that a shipping carrier can transport at any given time. This capacity is determined by the size of the carrier's fleet, the number of ports it services, and other factors. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP TM, carrier capacity is used to determine the most efficient route for a shipment. The system will take into account the total capacity of each carrier and compare it to the size of the shipment. If a carrier has enough capacity to accommodate the shipment, then it will be chosen as the most efficient route. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a shipment in SAP TM, it is important to consider the carrier's capacity. If a carrier does not have enough capacity to accommodate the shipment, then it may be necessary to look for alternative routes or carriers. Additionally, it is important to consider any seasonal fluctuations in capacity that may occur due to increased demand during certain times of year. 
  
  Related Information: 
  In addition to carrier capacity, SAP TM also takes into account other factors such as transit time, cost, and service level when determining the most efficient route for a shipment. Additionally, SAP TM can be used to manage multiple carriers and shipments simultaneously.
