  Key Concepts: 
  Combined shipping is a feature of SAP Transportation Management (TM) that allows multiple shipments to be combined into one shipment. This helps to reduce costs and improve efficiency by reducing the number of shipments that need to be managed. It also helps to reduce the amount of paperwork associated with managing multiple shipments. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Combined shipping can be used in SAP TM by creating a shipment order for each shipment that needs to be combined. The orders can then be combined into one shipment order, which will contain all the necessary information for the combined shipment. The shipment order can then be processed and the goods shipped. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using combined shipping, it is important to ensure that all the necessary information is included in the shipment order. This includes the origin and destination of the shipment, as well as any special instructions or requirements for the shipment. It is also important to ensure that all the goods are properly packaged and labeled for the combined shipment.
