• Key Concepts: 
  Matchback is a feature of the SAP TM-ADP-CSL-NAO Network & Operations for Container Shipping Liners component. It enables the system to automatically match the container number of an outbound shipment with the container number of an inbound shipment. This helps to ensure that the right containers are being loaded onto the right vessels and that all containers are accounted for. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use matchback, first enter the container number of an outbound shipment into the system. The system will then search for a matching container number in the inbound shipment records. If a match is found, the system will automatically link the two shipments together. This helps to ensure that all containers are accounted for and that they are loaded onto the right vessels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all container numbers are entered correctly into the system. This will help to ensure that the matchback feature works correctly and that all containers are accounted for. Additionally, it is important to regularly check that all containers have been matched correctly.
