Renaming Functional Locations 

Use

Functional location labels can be changed. The system saves all previously used labels as historical labels. To avoid confusion, you cannot reuse a historical label.

However, if you need to use the historical label you must explicitly release it for reuse.

Prerequisites

Activate the function Alternative Labeling of Functional Locations in Customizing for Plant Maintenance (PM) under Functional Locations.

Procedure

  1. Choose Logistics ® Plant maintenance ® Technical objects and then FunctLocation ® Change.
  2. Enter the functional location label and choose Continue.
  3. Choose Extras ® Label ® Overview. You go to the labeling history for the functional location.
  4. Select the label you require and choose Rename.
  5. Enter the new label in the dialog box Functional Location: Rename and choose Continue.
  6. In the dialog box for the labeling history the new label is displayed as the active version and the old label as the historical version.

Choose Continue and save the changes made to the master record.
