  Key Concepts: 
  Cost Connector is a component of SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP) that allows users to create cost estimates for transportation services. It enables users to define cost elements, such as fuel, tolls, and driver wages, and then calculate the total cost of a shipment. Cost Connector also provides users with the ability to compare different transportation options and select the most cost-effective option.
  How to Use It: 
  To use Cost Connector, users must first define the cost elements they wish to include in their cost estimates. This can be done by entering the relevant information into the Cost Connector interface. Once all of the cost elements have been defined, users can then enter the details of their shipment, such as origin and destination, and Cost Connector will calculate the total cost of the shipment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Cost Connector, it is important to ensure that all of the cost elements are accurately entered into the system. This will ensure that the cost estimates are accurate and that users are able to select the most cost-effective transportation option. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the cost elements in order to ensure that they remain up-to-date.
