  Business share is a feature of SAP Transportation Management (TM) that allows customers to share transportation resources with other customers. This feature enables customers to reduce their transportation costs by sharing the cost of transportation with other customers. Business share also allows customers to access a larger pool of transportation resources, which can help them meet their transportation needs more efficiently. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use business share, customers must first register with SAP TM. Once registered, customers can search for other customers who are willing to share their transportation resources. Customers can then negotiate the terms of the business share agreement, such as the cost of the transportation and the duration of the agreement. Once an agreement is reached, customers can begin using the shared transportation resources. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When negotiating a business share agreement, it is important to consider all aspects of the agreement, including the cost of the transportation and any additional fees or charges that may be associated with the agreement. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all parties involved in the agreement are in agreement on all terms before signing any contracts or agreements.
