In which object can you track and trace the whole journey of your goods, if the whole journey has multiple transportation stages?

• AFreight booking
• BFreight unit
• CConsignment order
• DFreight order

• C
  4% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Freight Unit is correct because it is the central object in SAP Transportation Management that represents the goods themselves and travels with them through every leg of the journey. Unlike execution-level objects, the freight unit persists across all transportation stages, making it the single point of visibility for end-to-end tracking and tracing.

• A (Freight Booking) is wrong because it represents a capacity reservation with a specific carrier (e.g., space on a vessel or flight) and is tied to one carrier arrangement, not the full journey.
• C (Consignment Order) is wrong because it originates demand from a business perspective but does not follow the physical goods through each transportation stage.
• D (Freight Order) is wrong because it represents a single transportation leg or stage - a multi-stage journey produces multiple freight orders, so no single freight order covers the whole route.

Memory tip: Think of the Freight Unit as the "unit of cargo" - it stays with the goods like a label on a package, while freight orders are just the individual "trips" that carry it.
