  To use clipping in SAP TM, users must first define the criteria for combining shipments. This includes the type of shipment, the origin and destination, the carrier, and any other relevant parameters. Once these criteria have been set, the system will automatically combine shipments that meet the criteria into one shipment.

This will help to ensure that only relevant shipments are combined, and that the process is as efficient as possible. Additionally, it is important to monitor the process regularly to ensure that all shipments are being combined correctly.
