• Key Concepts: 
  A transportation stop is a point in the transportation process where goods are loaded, unloaded, or transshipped. It is a location where goods are temporarily stored and handled during the transportation process. It can be a warehouse, a port, an airport, or any other place where goods are handled. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Transportation Management (TM), transportation stops are used to define the route of a shipment. The route is defined by the sequence of stops that the shipment will take from origin to destination. The stops can be used to define the route of a shipment, as well as to define the loading and unloading points for the shipment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a route in SAP TM, it is important to ensure that all stops are correctly defined and that they are in the correct sequence. This will ensure that the shipment takes the most efficient route and that all stops are accounted for. 
  
  Related Information: 
  SAP TM also allows for the definition of milestones, which are points in the transportation process that must be reached in order for the shipment to be considered complete. Milestones can be used in conjunction with transportation stops to ensure that all steps of the transportation process are completed correctly.
