Data Integration 
Use
With this function you can link a work area with an object in another SAP application (integration object). When you create the link, a reference to the data stored under the integration object is created. This means that you can also make information relevant for the work area but not managed in Industrial Hygiene and Safety available in work area management. For example, you can use the assignment of a storage location to determine stock data and movement data for a material that is assigned to an agent and transfer the data to the amounts for the agent.
Prerequisites
The integration objects were entered in the respective application and you have display authorization for them.
Features
In the standard system you can link a work area with the following object types, for example:
· Storage location in Materials Management
This integration object accesses Customizing for Materials Management.
· Work center in Logistics
· Functional location in Plant Maintenance
· Contact
You can specify persons from the following groups: employees, applicants, and external persons.
· Building
This integration object accesses a Customizing table in Industrial Hygiene and Safety. It is not the same as the object with the same name in the Real Estate Management (RE) component.
You can assign a number of buildings to a work area. The building you specify as the main building is then displayed as additional information in measurement projects that you create for the work area.
If you want to use this integration object, you must process the IMG activity Specify Buildings in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety.
In the dialog box for the function there is one tab page for each object type on which you can enter the integration objects as a list.
If you have entered a work center or a functional location, you can navigate to the respective field in the display transaction for the object by double-clicking its name.
To call the data integration function, run a work area search
and in the hit
list, choose 
Integration.
If you made the necessary settings when you configured the system, you can also use the function for other object types. For more information, see Specify Integration Objects for Work Area Management in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Industrial Hygiene and Safety.
