When user goes to the SAP Portal view > Task Lists tab > Functional Locations sub tab, no results are returned. However, the Equipment and General sub tabs show results.
The ZAPM_GATEWAY in SAP Uses STRNO from IFLOS for the FLOC number but not all SAP users use/ populate IFLOS so the join results in no returns in the SAP Portal for FLOC TaskLists. This is not a problem for Equipment Task Lists and General Task Lists. Most users use the IFLOS STRNO as a way of masking the OID FLOC number but this can also be done in IFLOT TPLNR directly, provided the number is unique (this is similar to APM's unique asset number requirement).
First, check directly in SAP to see if Functional Location Task Lists do indeed exist. Next consult with the SAP Functional Consultant regarding the following:
"The ZAPM_GATEWAY in SAP Uses STRNO from IFLOS for the FLOC number. Is the IFLOS view being used and is the STRNO populated? Are there plans on using the IFLOS view?"
Typically we recommend that if there are plans for the user to exploit the IFLOS view in future, to simply wait for this change to be made in SAP. However, not all SAP users use SAP exactly the same and therefor may elect not to use IFLOS and STRNO. In this second case, report the issue to Bentley Support as an SR. The support representative and/or Bentley Services will guide the User's SAP Functional consultant in the changes that need to be made.
