Common Functional Location Question

Hi
In my Clients senario there are many functional locations. Now in his functional locations the work is carried out by various Maintenace Groups like ELE / MEC / INST.
All these Departments have there Own Work Centres & Cost Centres. Now the problem is
1. What costcentre is to be maintained in functiona location master. ( Coz order are created on these common functional locations) what does SAP Recomends.
2. The requirements is that if Electrical Depatment creates an Order on these locations then the Cost to be captured in Electrical department cost centre similarly for other departments.

Hi Pete
I went across some of the customer sites, where they are using SAP PM....
According to the Question of this thread...
They dont have different cost center or work center... they have only one cost center and one Work center...
All the maintenance cost (ELE,MECH or INST) will be clubbed into one Cost center and it is assigned to the G/L accoutn....
Work center also common.... Since its all internal cost comes from the work center for the employees.. they said... the cost is common for all..
But... this scenario is different from others.. like Separate cost center or work center...
Once the notification is created... the person.. should know, who is gonna take the job... if its mech or elec or both... there is a issue in criticality of the work ur gonna take.. if its a shaft problem.. then its purely mech.. if its motor problem its elect... even though both the depts have work.. but some one will have high criticality... he has to use the particular work center.,,,
Then in the order... u need to enter the operations with different work centers... so u will be getting the cost of both the work center...
For equipment, i think one cost center is enough.. since it will take all the cost... sinc ein one order u cannot give two or three cost centers... am i rite....

  • Do you know the link between the sales order item and functional location ?

    How know the functional location if I know de sales order number and item ?
    Wich table or bapi ?
    Tks.

    Hi,
    I think there's all details in my question.
    You answer is right only if I need to know the functional location at AUFNR level.
    Is not my case, I need this information at sales order level.

  • ILOM0001 - functional location description  (pltxt)

    Hi,
    problem:
    the (same) description (PLTXT) of functional location has to be saved in TWO different languages every time any change is done on a functional location AND  save is (pressed) processed.
    User exit ILOM0001 is already implemented and can be used for further enhancements.
    Open for any suggestions.
    Thanks a lot for any response.

    Thanks so far.
    @Dwaraka
    I already thought about a direct update of the IFLOTX table.  But I also learned (: NOT to access standard SAP DB-Tables directly!
    The user exit ILOM0001 is used only be the one project. So no issues on that end.
    @Pete
    It's not causing a problem -> I have to realise the proper saving/update of the same description in two different languages every time the 'SAVE' is processed.
    Users can logon in (2) different languages (international company). But in EDIT mode for the technical object (func. location) the description value has to be the same!
    Did I answer all your questions?
    Thank's for further replies.
    Eduard
    At last the problem was solved. (not that nice - but anyway)
    - The functional location is created (and saved) using SAP standard BAPI's.
      in the User Exit i put coding which INSERTs the same PLTXT (with respectively other language code) using SAP update function module for IFLOTX. this part runs only if transaction (sy-tcode) IL01 or a specific condition are set.
    - During the process the user (always!) needs to modify some Data of the functional location. [1. SET PARAMETER ID ifl FIELD f; 2. call transaction IL02 and skip first screen]
    in the User Exit there is bapi call - something like IFLOTX_UPDATE or  - the existend PLTXT is copied into the Importing structure of the function module and the language is switched . The text is then modified  after COMMIT WORK
    It's probably not the best way - but it worked.

  • Deletion flag at functional location - equipment installation sallowed

    Hi
    Small question, when we set deletion flag at functional location we can still instal equipment in transaction IE02. Is it possible to configure LF in such way that after setting delation flag or inactivation FL equipment installation shouldn't be allowed??
    We wanted to do it by user status but we can't.
    Thanks for help. Regards. Joanna

    Hi Joanna,
    Try using user exit IEQM0001 and write a custom code, not to allow equipment being installed in deleted / inactive function location.

  • BAPI_FUNC_LOC_CREATE BAPI functional location create

    Hi, I have a question. I need to create a new functional location. I try to use BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE with this code:
    PARAMETERS:  FUNCLOC LIKE BAPI_ITOB_PARMS-FUNCLOC DEFAULT 'ZTZ1-ABC-AA-02'.
    DATA:  FC_DATA_GEN   LIKE    BAPI_ITOB,
           FC_DATA_SPE   LIKE    BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY,
           FC_RETURN     LIKE    BAPIRET2,
           FC_LABEL      LIKE    BAPI_ITOB_PARMS-LABEL_SYST.
           FC_DATA_SPE-STRIND = 'A'.
           FC_DATA_SPE-CATEGORY = 'M'.
           FC_DATA_SPE-EQINSTALL = 'X'.
           FC_DATA_GEN-READ_CRDAT = SY-DATUM.
           FC_LABEL = 'A'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE'
        EXPORTING
          EXTERNAL_NUMBER         = FUNCLOC
          LABELING_SYSTEM         = FC_LABEL
          DATA_GENERAL            = FC_DATA_GEN

         DATA_GENERAL_EXP        =
         DATA_SPECIFIC_EXP       =
          RETURN                  = FC_RETURN
    (this code was intended for testing only)
    After the function has passed new functional location was not created. And in RETURN I got message number 000.
    I guess that a fun. loc. was in creation process because when i inserted a breakpoint I couldn't create a functional location with the same Id as in report (I could with an other) but it didn't save.
    Can You help me?

    Call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after this.
    Also uncomment FUNCTLOCATION and get the value into a variable and check.

  • Cost centers and budgets filtered by functional locations

    Hi All,
    I need report containing cost centers and budgets filtered by functional locations.
    Regards
    Hari

    Hi,
    Please find the logic below & try it at your system-
    Here cost center group is not possible (also i not checked it so do it on your own simultaneously i am trying the same).
    Use Table BSEG-> in bseg give the cost center-> with the help of cost center find the account number (field HKONT)-> take this GL account number & got to table COEP-> in this give the GL account number at field 'offsetting account' (field GKONT) & you will get the line item.
    Try it & let me know if you have any question.
    Thanks

  • Cost Center Linkage between Functional Location and Equipment.

    Hi Gurus,
    We have found in our analysis that it is impossible to copy the cost center of a superior functonal location to a subordinate one when the cost center of subordinate functional location is changed manually.
    We intend to do a mass change for our cost centers of all our functional locations and equipments for all our plants. We need to know how do we achieve this change of cost centers.
    Thanks:
    Siddharth

    Thanks All for your information.
    Actually the Master data team has to do a mass update of cost centers for the Functional locations and Equipments.
    And what we have found is that when we change the cost center for an equipment individually it changes the cost center origin of the equipment to "D" which means independent of the changes in the cost center at FL level.
    Be it IBIP or any other way what we have found that the linkage(cost center origin) between the FL and the EQUIP changes to "D"  when ever we change the cost center for the equipment.
    We don't want to change this linkage as it may have other consequences that we can not foresee at this point.
    So, my question is :
    If the FL and EQUIP linkage (cost center origin field) is changed(from H to D or D to H), what could be the effect on the FL and EQUIP relation?
    Cost center origin :
    D       Independent of changes in cost center at FL level
    H       It is dependent on the FL cost center.
    Thanks:
    Siddharth

  • Assign equipment from hierarchy to functional location

    Hi all,
    I'm new to PM so the question might be a bit stupid. But I have got a hierarchy for a piece of equipment. The highest level is a recorder. The lower levels are sensors that i need to calibrate. I now want to assign the sensors (lower level) to functional locations. It can be possible that each lower level is assigned to another functional location. Is this possible? I now get the error message that the piece of equipment is assigned to a hierarchy.
    Thanks for your help

    This can be achieved but obviously the equipment hierarchy would be disturbed because the equipment can either be installed on a functional location or a superior equipment not both the two. What you can do is the functional location for the superior equipment is to be extended so as to cover the subordinate equipments and obviously there would not be any direct link between the equipment and the superior equipment.
    Equipment: Recorder installed on FLoc: Plant-Recorder
    Equipment: Sensor installed on Floc:Plant-Recorder-Sensor
    that is how you can achieve it but the relationship between the equipment and superior equipment is to be compromised.
    Regards..

  • Outbound IDOCs for Functional Location

    Hi experts
    We are planning to use IDOCs for interfacing SAP and Legacy system using XI.

    So far I have not found one. Can you advise the outbound IDOC for Functional location ?
    Another question I have , I have found some IDOC's but they are not released , Is there a way to release the IDOC's, what needs to be done for this.
    Many Thanks
    Regards

  • Error in creating functional location

    Hai all,
    My struc.indicator is XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX.
    I have created the functional locations till the third hierarchy level.Also i created the user status and assign this profile to the functional lcoation named  XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX
    Based on the above settings, i have done the transactions also by changing the user status from one to another in the above said functional location.Later i decided that this user status is not relevant for this and i cancelled the assignment  in the functional location and in the OIBS Object types.
    Even after removal of assignment, still the assignment of status profile to the funtional lcoation is showing in the IL02.
    Now i couldnt able to create the new functional location and system is throwing the following error.
    No status object is available for FL  #1
    Message no. BS001
    Diagnosis
    When trying to read the status of an object (FL  #1), a system error occurred: For object number TM0000000001IF there is no status object.
    Procedure
    Please contact your system administrator.
    Now my questions are
    1.How to permanently delete the assignment of userprofile still showing in the functional location even after cancel the assignment .
    2.How to eliminate the above said error
    Please help
    Regards,
    Suresh.

    Hai Pete,
    1.I am using IE02 for insall the equipment.
    2.This is happening every time and also i tried for another functional location category and structural indicator too.
    3.I am getting the same error messages whenever i am trying to create the fucntional location.
    4.I changed the user status of the F.Loc and again i tried the reinstalling the equipment.No change observed.
    Also, Finally i cancelled the assignment and deleted the user status profile itself.Still its not working .
    Since i am concentrationg on the other part, i couldnt continoulsy do the trouble shooting.
    Any other suggestions.

  • Standing order - Functional Location

    Hi guys,
    I have very simple question. What is a standing order for a functional location?
    I currently have a requirement to automatically perform a goods issue movement 261(GI for order) and we are doing it by creating a characteristic field in the functional location.
    We have a development that when a fuel consumption is done, the posting goes to the order it has saved as a characteristic.
    However I went into the IH01 transaction and saw this Standing order field, and well if this field can work as an open order associated with a functional location then we wouldn't have any need for this development.
    What is a standing order? Can we assign a standing order to a functional location so that it always posts material costs related to that functional location to it?
    Thanks and best regards!
    Fernando

    Fernando,
    Its basically a Order to continuously collect costs for on-going work, instead of creating a  separate work order for each activity.Its often used in Fleet process to collect fuel consumption costs, when there is a need to know , at any point of time the total fuel consumption cost by vehicle/location.
    The standing order field in the FL or Equipment is generally used when you want to default the settlement rule for the order with this value(Auto generate), when this object is associated to the order.
    You could use this field for identification of fuel consumption costs for the vehicle , just be sure that for other maintenance orders for this object the standing order is not provided as default  value in settlement rule by accident.
