Documentation

Definition

Number of the linking functional location

The linking functional location represents the link between the two functional locations above.

Supplementary Documentation - TPKANT 0001

Use

The link between two functional locations is defined by the link number and the short text. A link object does not have be entered. However, if you want to have the link that exists physically, in other words the link element, represented in the system, the linking functional location must be entered here.

Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

If you want to carry our maintenance work on the physical link using maintenance orders, a linking functional location must exist as the link object, as orders can only be created for equipment and functional locations.

Note that two functional locations can only be linked by another functional location and not by a piece of equipment.
