Functional Area in Internal Orders 

Use

You can enter the functional area in the master data of internal orders:

Features

When you create an internal order, the system checks whether a functional area exists in the order type or in the model order.

·        If a value exists, the value is transferred as default value into the master data of the internal order.

·        If there is no value, the system checks whether a functional area exists for the specified responsible cost center. If a value exists in the cost center, this value is transferred as default value into the master data of the internal order.

SAP provides the user exit COOPA_01 in the standard system. You can use this to check whether the functional area in the master data matches the functional area in the order type. You can also define your own checks in this user exit.

To ensure the consistency of the functional area in the master data of internal orders and the responsible cost center, you define the Functional Area field as output field. In this way, you ensure that the functional area cannot be entered manually in the internal order.
