SAP Note 14074 - No delete function for functional locations

Symptom:

There is no user function for deleting functional locations.
Reorganization of technical locations is not possible.

Cause and prerequisites

Not yet programmed.

Solution
- The reorganization program for PM master data will be delivered with
release 3.0B.
- Normally, functional locations are not deleted, even when they
have been taken out of operations. This is because assets that
no longer exist may also be interesting for error statistics.
- The need to delete a location usually only results from incorrect
entries.
- Until a delete function is available, you can do the following:
* Create a location with the meaning "logical scrap value"
* Reassign the locations for logical deletion to the above location
(function: "change higher level location").
--> These locations will no longer interfere with the structure
list.
* If necessary, initialize the data fields in these locations
--> No further match codes will thus be built.

Key word: Delete location
