Which of the following can you use to determine a stage sequence in a forwarding order? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AStage profile
• BStage type
• CMovement type
• DShipping type

• A
  88% (15)
• B
  6% (1)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

In SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM), a stage profile (A) directly defines the structure and sequence of stages within a forwarding order - it specifies how many stages exist (pre-carriage, main carriage, on-carriage) and in what order. The movement type (C) also drives stage sequencing by defining the mode of transport used for the forwarding order, which determines which stage sequence is applicable.

Stage type (B) is a distractor because it classifies a stage (e.g., labeling it as pre-carriage), but does not define the order in which stages appear in the forwarding order - that's the stage profile's job. Shipping type (D) relates to how freight is consolidated or handled (e.g., LTL vs. FTL) and does not control stage sequencing in a forwarding order.

Memory tip: Think "S-P-M = Sequence Planning Method" - Stage Profile and Movement type are the two controls that together define what stages exist and in what order for a forwarding order.
