Data Transfer for Subsequent Structure Changes
Use
In exceptional cases it is necessary to:
Assign a functional location subsequently to a reference functional location
Insert a complete functional location structure subsequently in another functional location structure
In both cases, data cannot be transferred to the newly assigned objects at first because the uppermost functional location in the structure is set to be maintained individually.
Transfer a functional location from one structure to another
For a functional location that, up until now, had a superior/reference functional location and is assigned to another superior/reference functional location, data is transferred automatically for all the fields that are set for allowing data transfer. The contents of the fields that were maintained individually up to now remain unchanged.
Activities
If you want to make data transfer possible, you must activate it for each individual master record field of the newly assigned functional location.
