This blog helps you to understand step by step process in order to migrate Location and Logistics Areas in Business by Design system.
When you have to create multiple Locations and Logistics area manually in Business By Design system , it is time consuming and tedious to do so. The best way to create Location and Logistics area is through importing data via Migration of Location and Logistics Area by filling the legacy data in migration template.
The location and location layout concept enables you to design a detailed model of your company’s supply chain. The location represents an external view of your company that helps you to communicate with your business partner. The location layout on the other hand represents an internal view of your company’s structure. It allows for an integrated material flow for warehousing and production through a common layout. You can centrally maintain the layouts of the different sites and locations within your company.
Note: Location should be unique and records to be imported to be limited 5000

This completes the Migration of Location and Logistics areas process.
Note:
The Site is not created by migration; it is created when an Org. Entity of type Business Residence is created. When the site is marked as Logistics Relevant, a SPA is created for it.Once these settings are maintained the materials can be migrated. If the material information is being used in LoA migration, the migration of materials with the above steps becomes a pre requisite.
