2408838 - How Migration of Location and Logistics Area Works

During the process of Migration of Location and Logistics Areas you're curious to know how the system will behave.

SAP Business ByDesign

The migration of Logistics Areas and Location works as below:

1. The 'Location' tab under the migration template is mandatory. You can either use a location that already exists in the system or create a new one during the migration. This location should be maintained with the parent location or the site on the first sheet of the template, under the 'Location' tab.

 2. There is no dependency between the 'Logistics Area' and the 'Location'. The dependency exists solely between the 'Logistics Area' and the 'Parent Logistics Area'.

3. It is compulsory to create the 'Logistics Area' and the 'Parent Logistics Area' simultaneously. The 'Parent Logistics Area' mentioned in the template should not exist in the system during migration. Both the 'Logistics Area' and 'Parent Logistics Area' will be created at the same time.

4. Every 'Parent Logistics Area' should have an entry in the template as a 'Logistics Area', with or without a parent one. This means that the 'Parent Logistic Area' is created in the system as a 'Logistics Area', otherwise it cannot be used as a parent for the child.

5. If the 'Logistics Area' needs to be created directly under the 'Location' without a parent, then do not mention anything under the 'Parent logistic area ID' field, only maintain the 'Logistic area ID'. By doing the migration as mentioned, this 'Logistics Area' can be further used as the 'Parent Logistics Area' for other ones if required.

6. SAP Business ByDesign only supports the addition or creation of new records during the Migration of 'Location' and 'Logistics Area'. The tool does not support any form of update or modify scenarios. Therefore, any 'Location' and 'Logistics Area' update or modification has to go through the UI.
