  Modify Existing Records:
  
  If you need to change the installation location for an existing material, you can do so by using the appropriate transaction (e.g., IL02) to modify the installation location.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to installation locations and material management to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
