Do you know about this functionality in SAP TM.

ISO 6346 is an international standard covering the coding, identification and marking of intermodal (shipping) containers used within containerized intermodal freight transport by the International Organization for Standardization

Refer to; ISO 6346 - Wikipedia

This functionality supports you to ensure the Container Number insert in field Container/Registration Number is correct.

In case the number is not correct a Warning will appear:

If the Number is correct no Warning will appear.

To active it in SAP TM you need to follow this step:

Go to SPRO:

With these steps the validation will be active for a user to get the validation of the ISO 6346

Technically SAP is using this Method /SCMTMS/CL_COMMON_BO_HELPER-CHECK_CONTAINER_ID

Refer to:

2737247 - TM: No check on container ID based on ISO 6346 - SAP for Me
