Functional location

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have 4 level of functional location as Level1, level2, level3 and level 4.

ie. level 2 has got 3 functional location as level 2.1, level2.2 , and level2.3.

Now there was a requirement at level 2

I need to mark level2.2 with deletion flag and move all the equipment to level2.1

What will be the implication in SAP if iam going to implement, as per my understanding history of the ealier level2.2 will not be avaialble. Is it right

Kindly advice me with implication if i am going to do as mentioned above

hi

your history will not be deleted unless you delete all the dependends ones,like notificatio,order,ie

you can dismantle from the plant and reassign the equipment to the higher funtional location and just deactive the same.

you can see the usage history for equipments as history details

hi krishan,

Thanx for the quick reply.

I will be little bit more clear on my requirement.

As i have said ealier we have 4 level of function location

at level 2 we have 3 F.L ie..Level2.1 , Level2.2 and Level 2.3

Level2.1 - has 10 equipment installed

Level2.1.3.1 - ( this is Level 3 functinal Location for level 2.1 ) and have 10 equipment instaled

Level2.1.3.2 - ( this is Level 3 functinal Location for level 2.1 ) and have 10 equipment instaled

Level2.2 - has 20 equipment insatalled

Level2.2.3.1 ( This is level 3 funcation location for level 2.2) and have 20 equipment instaleed..

if i mark the deletion flag at level2 then subF.L cannot be used ( ie Level2.2.3.1), ie.. i need to move all the equipment from level2.2 ( means sublevel F.L equipmetns also need to eb moved)

is it advisable to do like this based on the clients requirement?

If i am not clear, let me know. Will try to explain in a better way.

Kindly advice

hi

yes if you have marked the deletion flag in the higher level ,then you cannot able to use the sub FL , just follow the logic while creating the FL ie from TOP-DOWN principle ,in reverse manner.

Dismantle all the equipment to the higher level ,then assign the sub FL to the superior FL to which you are going to use. then try to put the deletion flag which is not needed

The client usually has the final decision.

But you are responsible for informing the client of the pros/cons for a given issue.
