AnswerBot for ERP

• Key Concepts: 
  Split booking is a feature of the Container Shipping Line (CSL) component of SAP Transportation Management (TM-ADP). It allows customers to book multiple containers on the same shipment, but with different carriers. This allows customers to take advantage of different carriers’ rates and services, while still having a single shipment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use split booking, customers must first create a shipment in the CSL component. Then, they can select multiple containers for the shipment and assign them to different carriers. The system will then generate a single shipment document for all containers, but each container will be assigned to its own carrier. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using split booking, it is important to keep track of the different carriers and their rates. This will help ensure that customers are getting the best rate for each container. Additionally, customers should make sure that all containers are assigned to carriers that can handle the type of cargo being shipped.
