  Cause:
  
  Stage Type Mismatch: The stage type you are trying to use in your transportation order does not match the stage types defined in the stage profile. Each stage profile in SAP TM is configured to allow specific stage types, and if you attempt to use a stage type that is not included in that profile, this error will be triggered.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stage Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the stage profile in SAP TM.
  Verify the allowed stage types for the specified stage profile (&2 in the error message).
  If the required stage type (&1 in the error message) is not included, you will need to add it to the stage profile.
  
  
  
  Modify Transportation Order:
  
  If the stage type is not appropriate for the transportation order you are working with, consider changing the stage type to one that is allowed by the stage profile.
  
  
  
  Review Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the correct stage profile is assigned to the transportation order. If necessary, reassign the transportation order to a different stage profile that includes the required stage type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring stage profiles and stage types in SAP TM.
