Create a Discrete Unit Location

Ideally, a discrete unit location should only exist as a property of a business area, or any despatch location (truck location, rail siding, barge terminal or port location).

Objects that can exist within a discrete unit location: discrete unit location (discrete unit locations can be nested beneath other discrete unit locations), discrete unit division.
