• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/ORENG122 - Functional location &1 is not a highest-level location ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/ORENG122 Functional location &1 is not a highest-level location typically occurs in the context of SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or SAP Asset Management when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a functional location to be a highest-level location, but the specified functional location is not.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Structure: The functional location you are trying to use is not defined as a highest-level location in the functional location hierarchy. In SAP, functional locations can be structured in a hierarchy, and only the top-level locations (highest-level) can be used for certain operations.
  Incorrect Selection: You may have selected a functional location that is a sub-location rather than a top-level location.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity in the functional location hierarchy, such as missing or incorrectly defined relationships.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Functional Location Hierarchy:
  
  Navigate to the functional location hierarchy in SAP (Transaction Code: IL03 or IL01).
  Verify if the functional location you are trying to use is indeed a highest-level location. If it is not, identify the correct highest-level location that should be used.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Functional Location:
  
  If you need to perform an operation that requires a highest-level location, select the appropriate top-level functional location from the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Adjust Functional Location Structure:
  
  If necessary, you may need to adjust the functional location structure to ensure that the correct locations are defined as highest-level. This may involve creating new functional locations or modifying existing ones.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to functional locations and their hierarchy to understand the requirements for the specific operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify functional locations in the system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Functional Location: A functional location is a physical or logical structure in which maintenance activities are performed. It can represent a piece of equipment, a building, or any other entity that requires maintenance.
  Hierarchy: Functional locations can be organized in a hierarchical structure, which allows for better management and reporting of maintenance activities.
  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 a functional consultant who specializes in SAP PM or Asset Management for further assistance.
