You want to avoid dependency on a single carrier.

In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management,business sharesare used to distribute transportation volumes across multiple carriers to avoid dependency on a single carrier. According to the SAP documentation, business shares define the percentage of transportation volume allocated to each carrier, ensuring load balancing based on predefined agreements. This is typically configured in the SAP Fiori app “Create Business Share” and used during carrier selection to distribute freight orders equitably.

The other options are incorrect:

Transportation allocation (B)defines capacity limits for specific lanes or means of transport but does not focus on balancing loads across carriers.

Incompatibility (C)is used to define restrictions, such as preventing certain products or carriers from being combined, not for load balancing.

Condition (D)is used for rule-based determinations (e.g., selecting a freight agreement), not for carrier load balancing.
