Use

You classify business locations so that you can use the classification system to search for them. For more information, see The Classification System.

Procedure

The following example describes how to use the transaction for changing business locations to classify a business location. For information on classifying an object using the assignment function in the classification system, see Assigning an Object to Classes.

To classify a business location, proceed as follows:

  1. On the Change Business Location: Initial Screen, enter the location ID of the business location that you want to change and choose Enter to display the Change Business Location: Address screen, or a specific function key to display any other screen within the main transaction.

A detail screen within the change business location transaction appears.
  1. Choose Environment ® Classification.

The Change Business Location: Classification screen appears. This screen shows any existing allocations of a class to the business location. The class must belong to class type 800, the business location class type.
  1. Choose Edit ® New allocations.

The screen for creating, changing and deleting allocations appears. You can allocate one or more classes to the business location.
  1. To assign characteristic values, select one or more classes and choose Edit ® Values.

You see a list of the characteristics for the class. To see the values allowed for a characteristic, place the cursor on the characteristic and display the possible entries.

Assign values to the characteristics, either by entering a value manually or by selecting a value with the cursor.

For more information on assigning values to characteristics, see Entering Values.
  1. Choose Goto ® Back to return to the allocation screen or to display the value assignment screen for the next class that you selected.
  1. From the allocation screen, choose Goto ® Back to return to the main business location maintenance transaction.

Classification data is saved when you save the business location master record.

Note

It is necessary to create the business location master record in the system before allocations to a business location class can be made. It is therefore possible to access the classification screen in change or display mode, but not in the create mode of the maintenance transaction for business location master data.
