• 
  Key Concepts: 
  PPF determination is a feature of SAP Transportation Management (TM) that allows users to define the rules and conditions for the selection of transportation service providers. It enables users to define criteria such as cost, service level, and other factors to determine the best provider for a given shipment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use PPF determination, users must first define the criteria for selecting a provider. This can be done by setting up a PPF rule in the TM system. Once the rule is set up, users can then select a provider based on the criteria defined in the rule. The system will then automatically select the best provider based on the criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a PPF rule, it is important to consider all of the criteria that are relevant to selecting a provider. This includes cost, service level, and other factors that may be important for a particular shipment. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the PPF rule is regularly updated to reflect any changes in the criteria or providers available.
