• Key Concepts: 
  A calculation node is a component of the SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP) module. It is used to define the parameters of a transportation route, such as the origin and destination, the type of vehicle, and the cost associated with each leg of the route. The calculation node also stores information about the route, such as the total distance and estimated time of arrival. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Calculation nodes are used to create transportation routes in TM-TRP. To create a calculation node, you must first define the origin and destination of the route. Then, you must specify the type of vehicle that will be used for the route, as well as any additional parameters such as cost or time constraints. Once all of these parameters have been set, you can save the calculation node and use it to generate a transportation route. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a calculation node, it is important to consider all possible parameters that may affect the route. For example, if you are transporting goods over long distances, you should consider factors such as fuel costs and road conditions. Additionally, if you are transporting goods with specific time constraints, you should factor in any potential delays that may occur along the way.
