  Related Information:
  
  Functional Locations: In SAP, functional locations are used to represent the physical locations of equipment or systems within a plant. They are essential for maintenance planning and execution.
  Selection Variants: These are predefined sets of selection criteria that can be saved and reused in reports, making it easier to execute frequently used queries without having to re-enter the criteria each time.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as IL01 (Create Functional Location), IL02 (Change Functional Location), and IL03 (Display Functional Location) for managing functional locations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
