Checks (CS-BD/PM-EQM-FL) 

Use

Before you can archive functional locations, the system must determine whether functional locations are being used elsewhere (for example, in a task list). For this purpose, the system performs usage checks for the individual functional locations.

Prerequisites

The status Deletion flag must be set for the functional location before archiving can be performed.

For more information about setting deletion flags, see Setting Deletion Flags for Functional Locations (Plant Maintenance - Structuring Technical Systems).

Features

The section Checks for Functional Locations describes the chronological sequence in which the possible usages in the system are checked. As soon as the system determines that the functional location is being used, you cannot set the status DLT (Deletion indicator, to be archived) for that functional location.

The system checks the following information for functional locations:

You can use the analysis report RIARCTP1, Where-Used Lists for a Functional Location, to display a where-used list for functional locations that are still used in the system and therefore cannot be archived.

The following tables describe the chronological order in which the system checks for usage of functional locations. As soon as the system determines that the functional location is being used, the status DLT (Deletion indicator, to be archived) cannot be set for that functional location.
