Changing Location Information in Master Data

Question:

Making Master data changes in FL /EQUI

I have several related questions about the subject matter:

1.  We are changing “Location” information in master data of FL and Equi. We want same changes re?ected in the old noti?cation and in the order of change objects.

The order table by direct way IAOL is FL/EQu table.

How can we accomplish this? How do I update noti?cation?

2.  What will be the fate of the PMIS info structures data
(S061 etc), if I update the database table ILOA directly?

3.  I also want to change the noti?cation/order location data which is coming from ILOA table (which can be change in  FL/EQ directly). When I am changing location data in FL,  it’s re?ected in ILOA table but by close order/ noti?cation, it’s not showing updated location.

Answer

Solutions are presented in the same number they were posed:

1.  The only nice way is through the cancellation of business completion and TECO. Change the location, and then TECO, and business completion again.

This can be done with a CATT. A disadvantage could be that the reference dates has the work order or noti?cation change.

Not recommend by SAP, but the quick and dirty solution is a direct update in table ILOA.

Another way is to talk to your ABAP team about “direct database updates” on table ILOA.

2.  That will depend on the extent of PMIS usage. If you don’t use PMIS then it won’t matter.

3.  When you create an Order/Noti?cation, the location data is automatically copied (once only) from the FLoc/Equi. This copy function does NOT occur automatically again.

The following are now possible:

If no changes are made to the Equip/Floc/Order/Notif,  then the data remains consistent.

You can change the data in the Floc/Equip. but the Order/ Notif is not automatically updated with these changes.

You can change the data in the Order/Notif but the Floc/ Equip is not automatically updated with these changes.

If you perform a right-click in the Order/Notif, there is a function Update reference object data which will re-copy the location data from the FLoc/Equip.
