Data origin Functional Locations

Hi,
I have several levels for my Functional Location Structure:
GR22
GR22-01
GR22-01-0135
GR22-01-0135-BU
etc. etc.
I maintained the Planning Plant, Maintenance Plant and ABC indicator at the first level and expected to see the same values in the levels below.
However the system behaves somewhat randomly. Some levels have the information copied from the superior FL whereas others don't. When looking at the Data origin list I can see that for those fields at some levels the flag is set for individual maintenance instead of Superior functional location.
Why this randomness? I've looked at previous posts on this forum and from what I understand there is no customizing setting to correct this. Everywhere I look the only suggestion is an LSMW that changes the data origin in those fields to "Superior equipment".
Are my assumptions correct? Any other suggestions other than LSMW? Are there any changes for the newer version ECC 6.0?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Depending on the reason for 'individual maintenance' you may be able to manually change the indicator via IL02 - Edit > Data origin.
A possible reason for the situation is that some of the lower levels were created before the upper level. In that case the lower level (but first created) would be set to individual maintenance. In this case you will not be able to edit the indicator.
If inheritance was unset because a individual value was specified for the relevant field at some time, you should be able to edit it manually.

    Dear Experts,
    I am uploading the master data of functional location through LSMW .I had completed all the steps except "Run Batch Input Session".
    In that step it is showing as functional location already exists, after this error the remaining functional locations are updated in sap or it will stop total transaction by  this error???
    how can u upload the remaining in to sap by skipping already existed one????
    here I am uploading the error screen shot.

    What is this OK- Code means?
    how can I resume this process, even it was not going to back screen also and only one option is available for exit from this is by going into MENU-SYSTEM-SERVICES-BATCH INPUT-CANCEL.

  • Assigning Superior Fuunctional Location to a Functional Location

    Hi Experts,
    I am assigning a Superior Functional Location to a Functional Location in IL02. This allows the Functional Location to inherit data from the Superior Functional Location.
    However, im my scenario this is incorrect as I do not want the data to be inherited and overwritten.
    Does anyone know how I can do this to prevent the data being overwritten - in terms of in IL02 or Configuration? When I use IL02 it does not give me the option to prevent it from overwriting.
    Thank you,
    Muna S.K Ali

    There is no customizing to change that. If you copy from either ref. functional location / functional location, some of the data will be copied automatically.
    Even you create some superior FL first & then derive sub FL, some fields will be copied automatically.
    Go to Menu Edit => Data Origin list, you can find the fields inherited from superior.
    If you want to change, go to menu Edit => Data Origin & change the option to Maintain individually
    Refer this thread for further clarity.

  • Address upload for Functional Locations

    Hello,
    I'm using batch input session to upload address data for functional locations (PM). However, I do not see any way to enter address data with this method. Do you have any suggestions on this matter?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eli

    yes I mean recording with LSMW.
    Standard batch input and BAPI FUNC_LOC_CREATE do not have the adress data.
    even for customer and vendor adresses it is not possible to do it in one shot (if you use central adress management)  as you can read in OSS note 306275 and 384462

  • How to display field Functional Location Field in Asset Master Data

    Dear Experts,
    I really appreciate for your advices on how to display Functional Location Field in Asset Master data.
    I have checked the configuration on path IMG:\Financial Accounting->Asset Accounting->Master Data->Screen Layout->Define Screen Layout for Master Data
    I have chosen the screen layout and review all Logical Field Groups. And there's no field "Functional Location" is available. I also didn't find "Add New" button to add "Functional Location" field.
    Thank you
    Best regards,
    Frans

    Dear Frans,
    I am sorry this is not possible.
    Note 140482:
    The field was created as a precaution. However, it is not being used at 
    present and consequently is not supplied.                               
    In particular, you cannot use the field as a criterion for a selection  
    in Asset Accounting reporting. This is still true even if this field has
    been included in the selection view delivered for the dynamic selections
    by modification.

  • Classification  overview Data for the functional location in Emigall

    Hi,
    I am trying to upload the functional location for the connection object. and during that i would like to upload the Classification data through Emigall
    Can i do that in emigall and do we have a function module or a BAPI for it.to do that.
    Can anybody help me on this.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Robert

    i don't think you can directly upload classification along with your functional location data in EMIGALL. But there is an object OBJCLS_D in EMIGALL that you can probably use. There is a BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE that may also be useful if you want to write your own program.

  • What is hierarchical data transfer in functional location

    hai,
    i want to know indetail about hierarchical data transfer and horizontal data transfer in functional location.
    can any one help me in this regard....
    plz give information with some example if you dont mind...
    thanks in advance
    regards
    gunnu.

    Hi
    From SAP HELP
    Hierarchical Data Transfer
    Definition
    You can maintain data at a high level within a hierarchical object structure. The system will automatically transfer the data changes to the levels below that are affected.
    The maintenance planner group is changed for the clarification plant described in Functional Location. The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change to the master record of the highest functional location C1 and saves the changes. The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations below the functional location C1, and issues a message to inform the employee of these changes.
    Horizontal Data Transfer
    Definition
    With horizontal data transfer you can differentiate between:
    Data transfer from reference location to functional location
    Data transfer from functional location to installed piece of equipment
    The ABC indicator of the functional location C1-B02-1 "Ventilator" is to be changed for several clarification plants.
    The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change in the master record of the reference functional location and saves the entries.
    The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations that were assigned to this reference location and for the pieces of equipment that are installed at these locations. The system then issues a message informing the employee of the changes.

  • How can I change the default start-up date for a new functional location?

    Is there a way to change the default date when creating a functional location? Whenever we create a new functional location, there is a date populated in the start-up date field. This date is our go-live date from last year and I cannot find the location in the IMG (if there is one) to stop the date from automatically populating with the date from the superior functional location. I tried setting the field from input to required but the date still populates automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to leave the start-up date field blank when creating a new functional location?

    That field is generally picked up from the immediate superior FL in the hierarchy through the inheritance functionality.You will have to overwrite this date.I dont think you can clear this field through Configuration functionality.
    If you are in Ecc 6.0, you could get the help of developer to use implicit enhancement to initialize the field contents.

  • Updating Order  Functional location data for equipment

    We have scenarios where we keep de-installing equipments from one FL to another . We have mapped standing orders in equipment . The FL in standing order of this equipment doesn't change automatically . We have to manually do this  (rightclick---update refrence object).
    Is there any way we can update order's FL  directly when we change equipment's FL in equipment.
    NPB

    USER  EXIT : IEQM0003
    FM-EXIT_SAPMIEQ0_001
    Transaction code=IE02
    Logic
                    Before equipment update (save)
    1.     Find value in standing order field. (EQUZ(put equipment number in EQUNR field)  get ILOAN  value  put  it in  ILOA field and get DAUFN (standing order) )
    a.     If standing order value  data found
    i.     Find functional location of the equipment (EQUZ (Table-input field EQUNR-fetch  ILOAN) table (input field ILOAN to table ILOA output TPLNR) (A)
    ii.     Find the functional location of the order AFHI(Table)u2014(EQUNR is  inut) u2013output ILOAN numberInput ILOAN in ILOA get TPLNR  (B)
    1.     If A=B matching with that of FL of equipment being updated
    a.     u2013No action
    b.     Save equipment changes
    2.     If not matching  A <> B
    a.     Save equipment
    b.     Update orderu2019s FL with that of equipmentu2019s FL through BDC  (input order number DAUFN)
    b.     If standing order value not found
    i.     Do not take any action
    ii.     Save equipment changes
    I can't update tables directly . I don't think any BAPI's exist to update objects in order . I can not execute a BDC from user exit . Now How to  automate this ?

  • Extension functional location and equipment master data

    Hi,
    We have around 200 functional location (having 3 structure indicators) and 10,000 equipments (Having external number range) on a controlling area and on different company codes.
    Several orders have been created by this data and now company wants to change controlling area, company codes, maintenance plants and planning plants with having old data in the same system server and client.
    I want to know is it possible to create same codes functional locations and equipments on new maintenance plants and planning plants having new company codes and controlling area? (It has observed that once we assign maintenance plant, the system automatically picks company code and controlling area and these fields become highlighted and can't be changed) OR
    Is there any possibility to use old data in orders with reference of new plants company codes and controlling area?
    What will be the end solution, should I create the new structure indicators for functional locations and new equipment names that must not be matched with the old equipments?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Thanks for prompt reply,
    a) If we change permanently then you mean to say the old master data record will remain in the system with all old transaction data, please confirm?
    **b)Alternatively, can I create same (exactly like old codes) functional locations and equipments codes on new maintenance plants (having new company coded and controlling area)?**
    I will have same client and server for the whole scenario 
    Please reply soon

  • 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
