• Key Concepts: 
  A Depot Acceptance Order (DAO) is a document used in the Container Shipping Liners (CSL) Order-to-Cash (OTC) process of SAP Transportation Management (TM). It is used to confirm that the goods have been accepted by the depot and are ready for delivery. The DAO is created when the goods are received at the depot and is then sent to the customer for acceptance. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The DAO is created in SAP TM when the goods are received at the depot. The document contains information about the goods, such as quantity, weight, and dimensions. The customer must then accept the DAO before the goods can be delivered. Once accepted, the DAO is sent back to SAP TM and the goods can be delivered. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all information on the DAO is accurate before it is sent to the customer. This will help to avoid any delays or disputes when delivering the goods. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all DAOs that have been sent out and accepted, as this will help with tracking and monitoring of deliveries.
