Definition
A function tree is a directly definable structure used to organize
functions . It is always assigned to an environment or sub-environment and can contain structure nodes and function references.Use
The function tree organizes the available functions in the applicable process template environment according to their uses or other characteristics. Afterwards, the function is the main focus of further editing. For more information on editing function trees, structure nodes and function references, see
Editing Function Trees. Go to Editing Functions for more on working with functions.Structure
Function Tree Structure Levels |
Contains: |
Environment |
Standard environments or sub-environments with their associated function trees. |
Function Tree |
Structure for the hierarchical structure of functions with the associated structure nodes and function references. The standard SAP System includes function tree SAP1 for all environments. |

Delivered as part of the software, function tree SAP1 is standard to all environments (for example, for Environment 001 - Function Tree SAP-001, for Environment PAC - Function Tree SAP1-PAC). Furthermore, this includes all standard-delivery structure nodes (sub-environments) and function references (with links to the respective functions).
Example
Function Trees
The example illustrated shows functions of environments 001 and the groups they correspond to. Structure node "BOM" contains function references relevant to bill of materials, while structure node "Routing" provides those referring to the routing.
