• Key Concepts: 
  Location split is a feature of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) Cross-Application Components. It allows for the splitting of a single location into multiple locations, each with its own characteristics. This allows for more precise planning and optimization of resources, as well as better control over inventory levels. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Location split can be used to divide a single location into multiple locations, each with its own characteristics. This can be done by creating a new location in the APO system and assigning it to the original location. The new location can then be assigned different characteristics, such as different inventory levels or different production capacities. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using location split, it is important to ensure that the new locations are properly linked to the original location. This will ensure that all changes made to the original location are reflected in the new locations. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all resources are properly allocated between the new locations.
