• Key Concepts: 
  Scenario Builder is a feature of SAP Transportation Management (TM) that allows users to create and manage scenarios for transportation planning. It enables users to define and manage transportation plans, routes, and costs in a single, integrated environment. The Scenario Builder also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and managing scenarios. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Scenario Builder, users must first define the parameters of their transportation plan. This includes defining the origin and destination of the shipment, the type of shipment (e.g., air, sea, or land), the mode of transport (e.g., truck or rail), and any other relevant information. Once these parameters are defined, users can then create a scenario by selecting from a list of available options. The Scenario Builder will then generate a graphical representation of the scenario, which can be used to analyze and optimize the transportation plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating scenarios with the Scenario Builder, it is important to consider all possible options for each parameter. For example, when selecting a mode of transport, users should consider both cost and time efficiency. Additionally, users should consider any potential restrictions or regulations that may affect their transportation plan.
