  Key Concepts: 
  Terminal Handling Charge (THC) is a fee charged by a shipping line to cover the cost of handling containers at the port of loading and unloading. It is a component of the Container Shipping Line (CSL) module in SAP Transportation Management (TM). 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP TM, the THC is calculated based on the port of loading and unloading, as well as the type of container being used. The THC can be configured in the CSL module, and can be used to calculate the total cost of shipping a container. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the THC in SAP TM, it is important to ensure that all relevant ports are included in the calculation. This will ensure that all costs associated with shipping a container are accurately accounted for.
