• Key Concepts: 
  A cost dataset is a feature of the SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP) component that allows users to store and manage cost information related to transportation. It enables users to define cost elements, such as freight, fuel, and tolls, and assign them to different transportation scenarios. The cost dataset also allows users to define cost rules for each cost element, which can be used to calculate the total cost of a given transportation scenario. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the cost dataset feature in SAP TM-TRP, users must first create a cost dataset in the system. This can be done by navigating to the “Cost Dataset” tab in the TM-TRP component and selecting “Create Cost Dataset”. Once the cost dataset is created, users can then define the various cost elements and assign them to different transportation scenarios. Finally, users can define cost rules for each cost element and use them to calculate the total cost of a given transportation scenario.
