Creating an Architectural Object 

Procedure

In the SAP menu, choose:

Accounting ® Flexible Real Estate Management ® RE Navigator ® Architectural Object ® with the quick info text Create

For an accessible version of Create Architectural Object, use transaction REBDAO.

Specify the architectural object type (such as a building), a number for your architectural object and an ID (such as PHL/SSC/B3.01).

 

General Data Tab Page

If the object to be created is not the top level of the hierarchy, you have to link it to the next highest object in the hierarchy by choosing  with quick info text Assign Higher-Level Object.

 

Keep in mind that the ID of the architectural object has to be unique in all hierarchies. Otherwise, the system cannot find the object independently of the hierarchy when you use Direct object selection.

The address can be copied from the superior object by choosing  with quick info text Inherit Address.

 

Number Assignment Tab Page

For more information, refer to Number Assignment for Architectural Objects.

 

Additional Data Tab Page

Here you can define attributes like location, transportation connections and main usage type.

 

Property/Building Tab Pages

On the Building and Property tab pages, you define characteristics that are to be copied to the usage view when you link the objects (such as development plan, location, property quality, actual usage and planned usage, and so on)

 

Dates Tab Page

Here you can store dates relevant to, for example, the construction year or the construction plans. This data is for information only.

 

Partner Tab Page

Here you can enter business partners in certain roles, such as architect.

 

Measurements Tab Page

For more information, refer to Measurements and Define Measurements.

In display mode, you can call up validity periods by choosing  with the quick info text Current Time Slot and  with the quick info text Complete Period.

For more information on time-dependent entries, see Management of Time Slots.

 

Assignments Tab Page

In Customizing you specify if the system automatically creates and assigns a functional location in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component when you create an architectural object. If this setting is not made, you can manually create a functional location and assign it here.

Based on certain notifications (malfunction reports, service notifications, inspection), and depending on the Customizing settings in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component, you can create a maintenance order (or service or maintenance plan order) directly from the architectural object.

In addition, depending on your settings in Customizing, you can:

·        Create and assign fixed assets of Asset Accounting (FI-AA)

·        Assign WBS elements

·        Assign CO orders

For more information, see Creating and Assigning External Objects from Real Estate Objects.

 

Usage Tab Page

The objects that appear in this table are the usage objects that you linked to the architectural structure.

However you can also create a corresponding usage object for an architectural object you have already created by choosing  with quick info text Usage Object in display and change mode. 

 

Resubmission Tab Page

For more information on the general function for resubmission, refer to this documentation.

 

Overviews Tab Page

Here you can display the measurements of all subordinate objects.
