  Key Concepts: 
  Cut-off is a term used in the Container Shipping Line (CSL) component of SAP Transportation Management (TM). It is the time limit for when a shipment must be loaded onto a vessel in order to be included in the voyage. Cut-off times are typically set by the shipping line and are based on the vessel's departure time.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP TM, cut-off times are used to determine when a shipment must be loaded onto a vessel in order to be included in the voyage. Cut-off times can be set manually or automatically, depending on the shipping line's preferences. When setting cut-off times manually, users must enter the desired cut-off time into the system. When setting cut-off times automatically, users must select the desired cut-off time from a list of available options.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that cut-off times are based on the vessel's departure time, so it is important to ensure that all shipments are loaded onto the vessel before the cut-off time in order to be included in the voyage. Additionally, it is important to note that cut-off times may vary depending on the shipping line and vessel type.
