  Caution

The location of the receiving plant SP_1710 is generated automatically by generation of the first Freight Unit
for this plant. For this newly created location, geocoordinates need to be maintained manually. Details
about geocoordinate maintenance can be found below (One-time Location).

Above mentioned Freight Unit is generated with creation of the first Delivery for a Stock Transport Order,
