Create Functional Location

This sample shows how to create a Functional Location in SAP using the BAPI BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE.

About

The Functional Location (External Number) must match the structure defined in the exporting parameter STRIND of BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE. You can export the default value for the superior functional location under data_specific - SUPFLOC.

Tip

To change a Functional Location replace the function module "BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE" with the function module "BAPI_FUNCLOC_CHANGE".

Call BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE

The following sample code calls the BAPI BAPI_FUNCLOC_CREATE to create a Functional Location in SAP:
