  VGM cut-off date is a term used in SAP Transportation Management (TM). It is the date by which the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of a container must be submitted to the shipping line. The VGM is the total weight of a container, including its contents and tare weight. The VGM cut-off date is important for ensuring that the container is loaded onto the vessel on time.
