• Key Concepts: 
  Single match is a feature in SAP Transportation Management (TM) that allows users to quickly and accurately match freight orders with available carriers. It uses a combination of algorithms and user-defined criteria to identify the best carrier for each order. The goal is to reduce costs and improve service levels by finding the most efficient and cost-effective carrier for each shipment.
  
  How to use it: 
  Single match can be used in two ways: manually or automatically. Manually, users can select carriers based on their own criteria, such as price, service level, or other factors. Automatically, single match will use algorithms to identify the best carrier for each order based on user-defined criteria. Once the best carrier is identified, the order can be sent directly to the carrier for processing.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using single match, it is important to ensure that all user-defined criteria are up-to-date and accurate. This will ensure that the best carrier is identified for each order. Additionally, it is important to review the results of single match periodically to ensure that carriers are meeting service level expectations and that costs are being kept in check.
