 Reference Functional Location
 A reference functional location is a tool that helps you to enter
and manage functional locations. You can use a reference
functional location when you have to create and manage several
functional locations of the same kind in the system.
 You define and manage reference functional locations in their own
master records. However, they do not represent functional
locations that actually exist but are assigned to real functional
locations as reference locations.
 The master record of a reference functional location contains
entries are valid for the functional locations assigned to it. This
means that when you create functional locations using reference
functional locations, you only need to enter data that is specific to
each of the individual functional locations.
