• Key Concepts: 
  Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) is a term used in the Container Shipping Line (CSL) component of SAP Transportation Management (TM-ADP). It is the estimated date and time that a container will depart from its origin port. This date and time are based on the expected loading and unloading times, as well as any other delays that may occur. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP TM-ADP, the ETD is used to plan and manage the shipment of containers. The ETD is entered into the system when a shipment is created, and it is updated as the shipment progresses. The ETD can be used to track the progress of a shipment, as well as to plan for any potential delays. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering an ETD into SAP TM-ADP, it is important to be as accurate as possible. This will help ensure that shipments are planned and managed efficiently. Additionally, it is important to keep an eye on any potential delays that may occur, as these can affect the ETD.
