  Key Concepts: 
  Location Priority is a feature in SAP SCM-APO-MD Master Data that allows users to prioritize the locations of their supply chain network. This feature helps users to determine which locations should be used for production, storage, and distribution. It also helps users to optimize their supply chain network by assigning different priorities to different locations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Location Priority feature, users must first define the locations in their supply chain network. Then, they can assign a priority level to each location. The priority level can range from 1 (highest priority) to 10 (lowest priority). The higher the priority level, the more likely it is that the location will be used for production, storage, and distribution. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning priority levels to locations, it is important to consider the cost of production, storage, and distribution at each location. This will help users optimize their supply chain network and ensure that they are using the most cost-effective locations for their operations.
