Functional location not reflected in connection object

[Former Member]

HI...

I created a functional location in the plant maintanence module..however when i try to check this from the connection object SAP gives me an error sayin the Location does not belon to IS type C(connection Object).

during FL creation i had specified the category as A (connection Object) and structure indicator as AO_GP (ISU defaults)...wat am i doing wrong..?

Hi,

Have you tried creating a Connection Object and check with the same generated number as functional location exist in R3 ?

Thanks,

Whenever you create Connection Object (or Device Location) in SAP ISU, it will create Functional Location in SAP R/3 with same number. But when you create Functional Location in SAP R/3 it wont create Connection Object / Device Location in SAP ISU.

Hello,

If you create a functional location via IL01 the field ISTYP stays empty. But if you create a connection object via ES55 the field is filled with the value "C" (Connection obj). This is one of the reasons why TA ES55 was created: with this transaction it should be able to create IS-U connection objects easily so you don't have to use transaction IL01.

The from my point of view there is a possible solution:

Please have a look at enhancement ILOM0001 (EXIT_SAPMILO0_001). With

this user exit it is possible to implement particular customer-specific

field contents. So maybe you can make a modification that field ISTYP is

filled with value "C".

Hope this helps.

Can u tell me in which table can i find the ISTYP field...?

[Former Member]

so olivia u mean we cant see the created func location in conencrtion object creation process.

sorry 2 re write vat u said but its all the settings vat u make in spro ..basic settings for connection object under connnection obkect

kindly look tghere ui can see that we assign the fucnt location categ fot the connection object there

and thats how it shows the created vfunctional locations in cooenction object screen

I have followed ur replies...but the system refuses to register it as Connection Object...I even checked in the functional location table IFLOT ...the ISTYPE here is always empty...which should be C
