Technical Objects: Functional Locations and Equipment

Keep this: job aid

Technical objects cheat sheet

• Structure indicator = edit mask (A alpha, N numeric, X alphanumeric, S special) + hierarchy levels; max 40 characters.
• Edit mask is locked once a location exists for the indicator: design it first.
• Functional locations: IL01/IL02/IL03, list IH06/IL05, structure IH01.
• Equipment: IE01/IE02/IE03, list IH08, structure IH03; install in the Structure view.
• Installation needs: category allows it + location allows it + individual installation respected.
• Usage list = installation history and key field changes; check from equipment and location.
• BOMs: equipment IB01, functional location IB11, material CS01 via construction type; usage 4 = maintenance.
• Stock item → reservation; non-stock item → purchase requisition.
• Classification: characteristics (CT04) in classes (CL01/CL02); separate class types for equipment and locations.
• Test evidence: usage lists, IH01/IH03 structures, BOM components on orders, reconciled counts.
• Fiori: Manage Technical Objects (create/change), Find Technical Object (search, structure); same objects as IL/IE transactions.
