Transportation Management with SAP LES

Stages 13.2
Do not manually intervene in the SAP system when it determines the legs. This
way, the system creates a direct leg for each delivery document with exactly the
departure points and destinations you defined in the delivery document. A stage
is created for delivery document “80014665,” with shipping point “OGM1” as the
departure point and ship-to party “OG2001” in Augsburg as the destination.
Now, create the shipment and set the “Planning” status. Select the Stages tab (see
Figure 13.24).

However, this leg determination category is only useful if you work with a defined
main leg. For example, you usually transport all materials with a truck to the
station and repack everything to a train. At the destination, everything is again
repacked to a truck for shipment to the individual ship-to parties. The example
illustrates this process.
Again, start with the overview screen and select the Stages tab. Create a main leg
manually, for example, the railroad track from Munich to Nuremberg (this is only
an example). To do this, use the Points field. “Munich” is the departure point and
“Nuernberg” the destination point. Click on the button. Your overview
should now look like the one in Figure 13.25.

legs and three subsequent legs are generated (see Figure 13.26). The two
