Creating a Functional Location Using a Copy Reference 

Prerequisites

If the functional location you are using as a copy reference has a reference functional location, this reference will also be copied. However, the superior functional location in the structure will not be copied for the new functional location; the system will automatically search for it instead.

If the functional location you are using as a copy reference is classified, you can copy the classification data to the new functional location. To do this, you must call up the classification function.

If measuring points have been assigned to the location that you are using as a copy reference, you can also copy these to the new functional location. To do this, you must call up the measuring point function.

Procedure

  1. In the screen Technical Objects choose Functional Location ® Create.

    2. The screen Create Functional Location: Initial is displayed.

  2. Enter the structure indicator you require and choose Continue.

    3. The system displays the edit mask for the location label as well as its hierarchy levels.

  3. Enter the label of the new functional location as well as the label of the location whose data you want to copy in the block Reference in the field FunctLocation.
  4. Choose Enter.

    5. A dialog box is displayed, in which you specify which reference location data should be copied to the new location.

  5. Choose Enter.

    6. The screen Create Functional Location: Master data is displayed.

    The system copies the selected data from the copy reference into the master record of the new functional location. You can change this data if required.

  6. Save the new master record.
