Location master data in PP/DS

[former_member846065]

Hello everyone, I have a question about location master data in PP/DS.

Would it be correct of me to say that 'a location master is a place where material planning takes place'?

Or is this definition too narrow? I want to know the essence of location master but

when I look at SAP HELP's definition of it it seems loosely defined.
