How To Fix VW115 - Leg determination has not been carried out (no point of departure)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VW - Shipment Processing Output

• Message number: 115

• Message text: Leg determination has not been carried out (no point of departure)

You tried to determine legs for a shipment which has the leg indicator
'subsequent leg'.
Usually, such a subsequent leg shipment does not start at the actual
point of departure of the deliveries (for example, the shipping
points). It starts at a transportation connection point where the goods
are loaded from the means of transport for the main leg shipment to the
means of transport for the subsequent leg shipment. For example, this
can be a port where a ship is located (the main leg shipment) from
which the goods are loaded onto trucks (the subsequent leg shipment).
The trucks transport the goods to the customer.
You should either specify this point of departure manually (only
possible in the 'Create shipment' (VT01) or 'Change shipment' (VT02)
transaction or let the system determine it because at least one of the
deliveries of the current subsequent leg shipment are in a main leg
shipment.
The target location was neither manually entered, nor determined by the
system so the leg could not be determined.
