  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the stage you are attempting to delete is linked to a default route. In SAP TM, a default route is a route that is automatically selected for transportation planning when no other specific route is defined.

  Check Default Route Assignment:
  
  Navigate to the transportation route configuration in SAP TM.
  Identify the transportation route that includes the stage you are trying to delete.
  Check if this route is set as the default route for any transportation lanes.
  
  
  
  Remove Default Route Assignment:
  
  If the route is indeed set as the default, you will need to remove this assignment.
  Go to the relevant configuration settings and change the default route assignment to another route or remove it entirely.
  
  
  
  Delete the Stage:
  
  Once the default route assignment is removed, you should be able to delete the stage without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Reassign Default Route (if necessary):
  
  If you need to maintain a default route, consider assigning a different route as the default after deleting the stage.
