  Data Cleanup:
  
  If there are duplicate entries, determine which location should be the correct one and remove or correct the duplicates.
  Ensure that each UN/LOCODE is uniquely assigned to a single location.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  If necessary, update the master data for the locations to ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no duplicates.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
