• Key Concepts: 
  A loop in SAP Transportation Management (TM) is a route that is used to transport goods from one location to another. It consists of a series of stops, each of which is a point of origin or destination for the goods. The route can be configured to include multiple stops, and the order in which they are visited can be changed. The loop can also be configured to include multiple vehicles, allowing for efficient transportation of goods.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP TM, loops are created by defining the route and the stops that will be visited. The route can be configured to include multiple stops, and the order in which they are visited can be changed. The loop can also be configured to include multiple vehicles, allowing for efficient transportation of goods. Once the loop is created, it can be used to plan and execute transportation orders.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a loop in SAP TM, it is important to consider the order in which the stops will be visited. This will help ensure that the most efficient route is taken and that all stops are visited in the correct order. Additionally, it is important to consider the number of vehicles that will be used on the loop, as this will affect the efficiency of the transportation process.
