Can we copy a functional location with its equipment’s from one plant to another plant? If so, then what do we need in the target plant?
Answer
You can copy the FLoc structure via TCode IL04; however, you cannot copy the equipment.
Start by creating in the customizing all the objects depending on planning and maintenance plant: Company area, planer group, and location.
Then, create the new work center, and cost center for the new plant.
Download, from the functional location all the data depending on planning and the maintenance plant.
Do the same for the pieces of equipment if they are not installed on functional location.
At the first level of the FL, change
the maintenance plant. Normally, the system changes all the data on all
the sub level and EQ. Now you can reload on FL and/or EQ all the data depending
on planning and maintenance plant.
I have a requirement from a client that he wants to copy the Functional location with its equipment from one plant to another plant if it is possible.
If yes, how can I accomplish this?
Answer
Try transaction CC04:
- Use a filter to display only what you need in the hierarchy;
- From the hierarchy display, right mouse click on the node you need to copy;
- From the context options dialog, select ‘Copy sub hierarchy’;
Can anybody suggest a function module or a BAPI which can create a new functional location with reference to another functional location.
Answer
There is no direct FM available but you can use 2 FM to achieve the same.
1. BAPI_FUNCLOC_GETDETAIL - Get the FL Details.
2. BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE - Create the FL based on the Details
You can take reference from below pseudo code:
data : data_specific type BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY.
data_specific-STRIND = Mention Functional
location structure indicator
data_specific-CATEGORY = Mention
Functional location category
data_specific-SUPFLOC = Mention
reference functional location
data_specific-EQINSTALL = check
or uncheck this as per your requirement
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE'
EXPORTING
external_number
= Provide your function location number to be created
LABELING_SYSTEM
= provide Labeling System for Functional Locations
* data_general
=
data_specific
= pass data_specific instruction filled above
* IMPORTING
* FUNCTLOCATION
=
* DATA_GENERAL_EXP
=
* DATA_SPECIFIC_EXP
=
* RETURN
=
.
CALL
FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
EXPORTING
WAIT = 'X'.
