Use

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

In Portugal, you use the PT Hierarchical Location Structure to create the hierarchy for Portugal.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

You must first define the location structure ID (PT for Portugal) and its name on the Hierarchical Location Structure screen, and specify the number of levels for the hierarchy and the names of each level as follows:

  1. Country
  2. District
  3. Municipality
  4. Freguesia

You must also define the type of real estate object on the Allowed Hier. Location Structures per Object Type screen, and then you enter all the possible locations for each defined hierarchy level on the Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure screen. In Portugal, the code system is built up as follows:

  • A 2-digit number (for example 11) represents the district
  • A 4-digit number (for example 1101) represents the municipality
  • A 6-digit number (for example 110101) represents the freguesia

Then, you assign the already defined hierarchical locations to one another and assign a key for each location on the Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure screen. 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. The key of the hierarchical location is not allowed to contain any spaces.

If the assignment changes due to restructuring of individual hierarchical locations, you can assign new keys (at the level Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure) or other locations to an existing key. However, if the key itself changes, then you have to change the master data.
