Creating a Reference Functional Location 
Prerequisites
Before you begin to represent reference functional locations in your system, you should at least know about master data structures. For more information, see:
Reference Functional Location
Functional Location
Structure Indicator
You should only create a master record for a reference functional location, once the following prerequisites have been met:
- You must have established the structure of the system to be represented.
- You must have performed the table settings for structuring functional locations using the system’s Customizing function.
- You must know which level of the functional location you are entering in each case, in order to represent the hierarchical structure correctly in the system. The Top-Down principle is valid in this case: You begin with the highest level and then enter the lower levels.
- You must know if the description of the functional location has to be entered according to a specific company procedure, so that they are easier to search for in the system.
