• Key Concepts: 
  Laydays are a feature of SAP Transportation Management (TM) that allows customers to specify the number of days a carrier has to pick up a shipment. This feature helps customers ensure that their shipments are picked up on time and that they are not charged any additional fees for late pickups. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use laydays, customers must first set up the feature in their SAP TM system. This involves specifying the number of days that carriers have to pick up shipments, as well as any additional fees that may be charged for late pickups. Once this is done, customers can then assign laydays to their shipments when they are created. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that laydays are only applicable to shipments that have been assigned carriers. If a shipment does not have a carrier assigned, then the laydays will not be taken into account. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the laydays specified are realistic and achievable for the carriers.
