Use

In this Customizing activity, you define various location structures. Location structures are used to uniquely identify parcels or land registers for different purposes.

In Switzerland, you use these settings to create, at the minimum, the following two hierarchies:

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

Enter an ID and a name for your location structure.

Specify the number of levels for the hierarchy and the names of each level.

For each location structure, you also specify the following:

  • Allowed Hierarchical Location Structures per Object Type

    Specify if assignment of the object type to this location structure is mandatory. Specify if this is the standard location structure.

  • Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure

    Here you enter the possible locations for each defined hierarchy level.

    Example:

    You defined these three levels for the location system:

    1 - Country

    2 - Region

    3 - City

    Then you enter all countries, regions and cities that you need in your system.

  • Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure

    You assign the already defined hierarchical locations to one another and assign a key for each location. You can then assign only this key to a parcel or a public register in the application.

    You are not required to assign the keys systematically, but it is a good idea. The key of the hierarchical location is not allowed to contain any spaces.

    If the assignment should change due to restructuring of individual hierarchical locations, it is not a problem to assign new keys (at the level Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure) or to assign other locations to an existing key. However, if the key itself should change, then you have to change the master data.

Example

You defined the following locations at the given level:

Level 1 - Country:

DE - Germany

CH - Switzerland

US - USA

Level 2 - Region:

D05 - North Rhine-Westphalia

D10 - Bavaria

CH01 - Basel

CH02 - Tessin

US01 - Michigan

US02 - Florida

Level 3 - City:

D-K - Cologne

D-D - Duesseldorf

D-M - Munich

CH-B - Basel

CH-LG - Lugano

US-CH - Chicago

US-M - Miami

US-OL - Orlando

Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure:

For the assignment of hierarchical locations in the hierarchy, you have to assign a unique key to each hierarchical location.

A hierarchical location cannot be used in object unless it has a key here.

DE-K     Cologne    DE    D05    D-K

DE-D    Duesseldorf    DE    D05    D-D

DE-M    Munich    DE    D10    D-M

CH-B    Basel    CH    CH01    CH-B

CH-LG    Lugano    CH    CH02    CH-LG

US-CH    Chicago    US    US01    US-CH

US-M    Miami    US    US02    US-M

US-OL    Orlando    US    US02    US-OL

In this case, you would assign the location DE-K to a parcel in Cologne. It is then clearly visible, both in master data processing and in reports, that this parcel has the following location:

  • Country: Germany
  • Region: North Rhine-Westphalia
  • City Cologne
