Hi,

Transaction code to create Functional Locations is IL01.

You can assign equipments to the functional location while creating it in IL01 by going to menu Structure --> Equipment.

Thanks,

Hello Jasmine,

The technical structure can be edited quite easily in transaction CC04:

- Go to the "Functional location" tab.

- Type in the superior functional location and press "Enter".

- Then once you are in the technical structure, right click on the superior functional location and select "Create equipment".

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Annabelle Roux

Greetings Jasmine,

Short story: You will need to have configured an Equipment Category, Equipment number range, Functional Location Category, Structure indicator etc. to match your requirement. E.g.

AAA-ANN-NNN . Also,you may want to configure Technical Object Types and use Classification.

Then create your FL structure in IL01 (top FL, then the subordinate Depot FLs), then in IE01 create the Equipments and install them in the FLs created (Structure tab, Installation icon)

Make sure your FL and Equipment categories as well as individual FLs allow installation (by checking the "Installation allowed" checkboxes.

Long story: You need to understand and determine which of your Technical Objects need to be Equipments and what level of detail do you need in the Functional Location structure.

As a rule of thumb, the Technical Object should be created as an Equipment, if you want to individually track the identity, usage history, rotate the Equipments on the installation, perform workshop repairs, track serial numbers...

E.g. if you are moving an extinguisher from Depot 1 to Depot 2, but you want to know the history where was that Equipment assigned previously. Second case is if you are performing inspections, you want to have a complete history, regardless of the depot or location the extinguisher is currently in. If this is the case, use Equipments, otherwise, it may be enough to use FLs.

Generally, it may be that you want to create individual FLs to install Equipments in, or just install multiple Equipments in one FL. Consider the two scenarios:

1st - You have a depot, in which there are 4 extinguishers -> Create a Depot location and assign (install) 4 extinguishers in this FL

2nd - You have a depot, in which there are 4 sections. In each section there is a fire safety post in which there is an extinguisher -> Create a Depot location and 4 sub-locations for safety post, then install 1 extinguisher in each.

Please ensure you have read SAP Help for Functional Location and Equipment extensively to aid you with this.
