  • Key Concepts: 
    Detention is a term used in the Container Shipping Line (CSL) component of SAP Transportation Management (TM-ADP). It refers to the amount of time a container is held at a port or terminal beyond the agreed-upon time limit. This can be due to various reasons, such as delays in loading or unloading, or due to customs clearance issues. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In SAP TM-ADP-CSL, detention can be tracked and monitored using the Detention Monitor. This monitor allows users to view the detention time for each container, as well as the associated costs. The Detention Monitor also provides users with an overview of all containers that are currently in detention. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    It is important to keep track of detention times and costs in order to ensure that containers are not held for longer than necessary. This can help reduce costs and improve efficiency. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant documents are in order before a container is shipped, as this can help reduce delays and avoid unnecessary detention costs.
