Goal

Locations created in EBS Inventory that are used as pool point locations are not being synched with Oracle Transportation Management(OTM).
These locations are not used on sales orders and therefore have no customer site tied to it.
Pool point and Xdock locations are locations that come in between the source and destination for any order.

----
In EBS:
Inventory or Purchasing Responsibility
Setup > Organizations > Locations 
Enters address and shipping address details
Select Global Scope and save.
----

----
In OTM, these locations can be found and managed in the Shipment Management > Location Management Form.
----

If the location is NOT a ship to and/or ship from on a delivery,  but rather a pool point or xdock then how can locations be sent when Shipping Transportation Outbound Interface is NOT applicable in these scenarios?
What method are these types of locations automatically synchronized with OTM?

Or is it expected for these types of locations to be manually entered in both EBS and OTM and it is not expected or as per functionality that they are automatically synchronized?
