MDPB is physically located in Building A, but serves only loads in Building B.

If a customer requests a cost breakdown by building, under which building would you put MDPB?

Were Building B removed from the contract scope, it can be expected that MDPB would be as well. Were Building A removed from the contract scope, it can be expected that MDPB would be relocated. Therefore if the customer requests a cost breakdown by building, it would be confusing to do so along location. That is, to include MDPB and its feeders in the price for Building A.

Panel_MDPB.Location = Buildings["Building A"]
Panel_MDPB.Scope = Buildings["Building B"]
