Functional Locations

The Business Object Functional Location is an Organizational Unit with in the Logistics, the structures the maintenance Objects of a Company according to the Functional Location, Process - related or spatial Area

Functional Location represents the place at which a maintenance tasks is to be performed. A Functional location represents the system area at which an object can be installed. Objects that can be installed at functional locations are called piece of equipment in SAP System.

A functional location represents the area at which a piece of equipment can be installed.  Functional location represents a place in which a maintenance task has to be performed. Structuring the maintenance hierarchy of assets is very much necessary for the organization. Functional locations are created in hierarchical structures and thus allow a functional or process-oriented structuring of your systems.

Functional location is an area where equipment and other functional locations can be installed. It is helpful to understand the history of what happened there and the ability to capture functional requirements or impose any specific restrictions.

For example, compressor station in located at building ABC where one can install 2 motors and this station should operate at the given temperature. Here there is functional requirement and also mentions only 2 motors can be installed. If one of the motors breakdown and gets replaced, then functional location will still be same and helps us to understand what happened there, what is the maintenance cost, and so on.
