Explanation

In SAP Transportation Management (TM), a transshipment location defined on a purchase order tells the system that goods must pass through an intermediate point, which inherently creates two carriage legs - making the system split the freight unit into two stages. A stage profile explicitly controls how a freight unit is divided into segments by defining the number and type of stages required for transportation.

Handover location (A) refers to the point where responsibility for goods transfers between parties, but it does not drive freight unit stage splitting in the purchase order. Incoterm location (C) defines the geographic point relevant to the Incoterm rule (e.g., FOB port), governing risk/cost transfer between buyer and seller - important for procurement, but not a trigger for stage splitting in TM.

Memory tip: Think "TS + SP = Two Stages" - Transshipment location and Stage Profile are the two attributes that physically and logistically split a freight unit into multiple stages.
