  WPS01131 Superordinate task list key &1 / ext. ID &2: Invalid functional loc. &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or reference a superordinate task list (a higher-level task list) that includes a functional location which is invalid or does not exist in the system.
  
  Superordinate task list key &1: The identifier of the main task list you are working with.
  External ID &2: The external identifier of the superordinate task list.
  Invalid functional loc. &3: The functional location referenced in the superordinate task list is invalid or not found.
  
  In other words, the system is trying to link or validate a functional location within the superordinate task list, but the functional location &3 does not exist or is not valid in the system.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The functional location &3 has been deleted or does not exist in the system.
  Typographical error in the functional location ID.
  The functional location is not active or has been marked for deletion.
  The functional location is not assigned or linked properly in the task list.
  Data inconsistency between the task list and the functional location master data.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Functional Location Master Data:
  
  Use transaction IL03 (Display Functional Location) to verify if the functional location &3 exists.
  If it does not exist, create it if necessary or correct the reference in the task list.
  
  
  
  Verify Task List Data:
  
  Check the superordinate task list &1 and external ID &2 in transaction IA05 (Change Task List) or IA03 (Display Task List).
  Ensure that the functional location referenced is correct and valid.
  
  
  
  Correct the Functional Location Reference:
  
  If the functional location is incorrect, update the task list to reference the correct functional location.
  If the functional location was deleted, either restore it or remove the reference from the task list.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks or use report RILOCCHK to check for inconsistencies in functional location data.
  Correct any inconsistencies found.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Issues:
  
  If this error occurs after a transport, verify that the functional location exists in the target system.
  Ensure that all related master data is transported properly.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Functional locations are hierarchical structures representing the physical or logical location of equipment or assets.
  Task lists can be assigned to functional locations to define maintenance tasks.
  Superordinate task lists are used to group or link multiple task lists hierarchically.
  Proper maintenance of functional location master data is critical for task list validity.
