What is 'network model' in SAP TM-TRP - SAP Transportation Resource Planning?

network model - Overview

• Component: TM-TRP

• Component Name: SAP Transportation Resource Planning

• Description: A model that represents the current transportation network that can be used in resource balancing. The network model can consist of single-stage paths, multi-stage paths, and lanes.

  Key Concepts: 
  The network model in SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP) is a graphical representation of the transportation network. It is used to plan and optimize the transportation of goods from one location to another. The network model consists of nodes, which represent locations, and edges, which represent the routes between locations. The network model can be used to calculate the shortest path between two locations, as well as to identify potential bottlenecks in the transportation network.
  
  How to use it: 
  The network model can be used to plan and optimize the transportation of goods from one location to another. To do this, the user must first define the nodes and edges in the network model. The nodes represent locations, while the edges represent the routes between locations. Once the nodes and edges have been defined, the user can then use the network model to calculate the shortest path between two locations, as well as to identify potential bottlenecks in the transportation network.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the network model in SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP), it is important to ensure that all nodes and edges are accurately defined. This will ensure that the shortest path between two locations is calculated correctly, as well as that any potential bottlenecks in the transportation network are identified. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that the network
