Levels in a functional location structure

Dear experts!
Please explain the purpose of having several levels in a PM structure.
I have made a structure like this: NNNN-SS-SSSSS-SSSSSSSS-SSSSSSSS
what would be better or worse if i made a structure like this :NNNN-SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ahhh it would be nice with some adwise.
Exept for having all FL`s in one level i can't see anything wrong.
anyone?

HI
The Sole purpose of having several levels of Functional Location is to get the various data & reports at each level.
Suppose there is a company operating in multiple locations and each location they have multiple plants. In this case based upon your Floc structure you can get the Various Data / Reports at different levels .i.e (company , Location , manufacturing Plants etc )
By selecting company level Floc u2013 you can get  No. of equipment/reports of  total company.
By selecting location level Floc - you can get  No. of equipment/reports of one particular location.
By selecting Plant level Floc - you can get  No. of equipment/reports of of particular Plant itself .

  • IH01 Functional location structure list of orders

    Hello experts,
    Do you know how to change the variant when you want to select orders from IH01?
    Example
    you open IH01 and click somewher on the structure, then you click environment- orders. The system leads you to the selection screen "functional location structure list of orders" here some selection fields are already filled. Such as period and also the status of the orders has already a flag.
    Do you know how to change this?
    I already saved User variants --> this does not help and also a SAP_TCODE_IW39 Variant.
    Do you know how to change the period of time for the selection?
    Thanx

  • Functional Location Structure Indicator

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created a functional location with an incorrect structure indicator. Wanted to know if there is a way out to change it without using the alternative labelling system?
    The current status of the functional location is 'CRTE' (created) & no equipment is installed at this location.
    I have to use the same functional location label therefore have to find a way out to get it changed.
    Aprreciate your responses...
    Thanks,
    Swati

    Swati,
       You will not be able to change the Structure indicator of a FL once its created.
        However if its a brand new FL and noting has yet been assigned(Like equipments) or created (Orders / Notifications) using it and if the FL key satisfies the New Structure indicator (and its the superior FL) You could potentially look at doing a  direct table update using a  custom program.

  • 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.

  • Extending the existing functional locations to a new plant?

    Hi Sapiens,
    The following is my concern:
    Q1) I have a set of functional locations(roughly around 5000 records) assigned to say Plant A.
    I would like to extend these existing functional locations to Plant B. I am not permitted to do this using LSMW. I should execute this operation in one shot.
    How to accomplish this?
    Q2) After attaching all the functional locations to Plant B, i should replace the first 4 characters of the functional location structure with the Plant Code itself. Again not through an lsmw. How to accomplish this in one shot?
    Please let me know the procedure of doing it with some guidelines.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vijaya

    Hi
    1. You can extentd to the other plant with SCAT ,BDC etc
    2. But You can not replace the first four letters from the FL with the New plant code.Remember this is a master data

  • What is a reference location structure & How to create a new reference loc structure

    Dear PM experts,
    Need ur guidance on below :
    1. What is a reference location structure
    2. How to create a new reference loc structure
    Thanks
    Mudassar

    IH02 (reference functional location structure list) is similar to IH01 (functional location structure list)
    Create some reference functional locations via transaction IL11 and link them hierarchically.
    Then run IH02 to view the structure.

  • Functional location at quote level

    HI,
    According to client requirement The quote needs to contain some form of representation of the functional location, otherwise they will not know what locations are affected by the quote, the change, the termination etc.
    Please give me the solution how to check/customize  location in the quotation level.
    Thanks,
    Miku.

    Hello Miku,
    If you are using service related materials, then you can assign in the functional location in Quotation or in sales documents in the following menu option: Quotation>Extras>Technical Objects.
    If you are not using service related materials, then option could be, create configurable material, with a reference characteristics with Table Name=IFLO, Field Name=TPLNR. This way you can link an existing functional location to quotation items.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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.

    hello all,
    i'm facing problem with equipment installation at functional location...
    my functional location heirarchy is level 1,2,3
    i have tick the istallation allowed check box in level-3 functional location,
    as per senario defind in the help document.,   it will not allow to install euipment in levels above i.e, superiour levels level 1,2
    Ex:
    functional location might have the following structure:
    Level 1 Conveyor  installation not allowed
    Level 2 Stage A  installation not allowed
                 Stage B  installation not allowed
    Level 3 Motor 1  installation allowed
                 Motor 2  installation allowed
              Conveyor belt 1  installation allowed
    and so on.
    but in my server it is allowing to install euipment in the superiour F.. locations also ...
    i.e, it is allowing to install equipment at laval 1,2
    i need to know any config.. required to it..... to get the above functionality or the above senario is wrong...?
