documents were successfully generated. Now, have a look at the stages (see Figure
13.22).
Figure 13.22 Stages in the Shipment Document Generated Automatically
The stage that contains all delivery documents is referred to as the main leg and
therefore gets the leg indicator “2.” The stages upstream of the main leg are the
preliminary legs (leg indicator “1”), and the stages downstream of the main leg are
the subsequent legs (leg indicator “3”).
This leg determination has one special feature. If you define a manual main leg, for
example, the railroad track from Munich to Nuremberg, the system defines the last
stage from the shipping points to Munich station as the preliminary leg, and the
first stage from Nuremberg station to the ship-to parties as the subsequent leg.
Preliminary Legs Determined per Loading Point, Subsequent Leg per
Destination
Another variant to determine the stages is the leg determination category “2”: Prelim.
Leg per loading point, subsqnt leg per ship-to pty. You must define this determination
category in the shipment type and maintain the shipping types respectively
(see Figure 13.23).
