Can anyone please tell me the difference between a stage and a leg?
Hello
Route determination is automatically proposed for each sales document item in the sales order. It is a process whereby one can assign a specific route with "transportation legs" using different shipment types and carriers.[trucks,rail etc.]
once a route has been defined, you can proceed with an "optional step" of maintaining the
stages for the routes.This can be carried out for each individual leg.
so legs = transportation connection points
and stage would be say "the northern route".
Hope this helps

Hi...
A Stage actually refers to the information about the geographical factors of a shipment. Any shipment can have 3 types of stages - Legs, Load Transfer Point and Border Crossing Point.

Hi Krishna,
Yes ofcourse. SFO could also be a load transfer point. R/3 transportation module does not restrict any connection point from being a load transfer point.
Depending on the business case, you define if a connection point is a Leg / Load Transfer Point or a Border Crossing Point.
Hope this explanation helps.

Hi Chandrasekhar,
A Stage actually refers to the information about the geographical factors of a shipment. Any shipment can have 3 types of stages - Legs, Load Transfer Point and Border Crossing Point.
A shipment can have any one or all 3 or any combination of the stages.
Leg - Refers to the Starting point and Ending point of a shipment. Could also include any intermediate points (Destinations)
For eg. : Assume there are two deliveries (D1 and D2) in a shipment.
D1 : From A - B
D2 : From C - D
Now the legs will typically be
A - B (D1 is assigned)
B - C (Empty leg - No deliveries)
C - D (D2 is assigned)
There are different types of legs available
1. Direct leg
2. Preliminary Leg
3. Main Leg
4. Subsequent Leg
5. Return Leg
In the example above, all legs are "Direct Legs".
If a shipment goes from Bangalore to Palo Alto Via Mumbai and San Fransisco then
Bangalore - Mumbai (Via Road / Rail) - Preliminary Leg
Mumbai - SFO (Via Sea / Air) - Main Leg
SFO - Palo Alto (Via Road) - Subsequent Leg
Off the above 3 legs, Mumbai could be a Load Transfer Point (The point where a shipment is unloaded from one MOT and loaded onto another).
Hope this info helps.

Stage is the state of processing for shipment while in transit.
I can be
1. Leg-Direct connnection between two points
2. Load transfer point
3 Border Crossing point
So Leg is type of stage only.
