5. The values for Source Location and Destination Location will be automatically filled:

    * Source Location will be set according to the Transfer Requirement Type of the For Location Area
    * If the For Location is a Storage Area, the Destination Location is set with that Storage Area; if the For Location is a Production Line, the Destination Location is set with the defined Destination Location of the Transfer Requirement Type if it is configured therein or with the For Location if it is not configured.
    * Information on Flow, Step and Flow Path will be automatically displayed since they are inherited from the Material.
