• Key Concepts: 
  Linked functional locations are used in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) to represent the physical location of an asset or equipment. They are linked to a master functional location, which is used to store all the relevant information about the asset or equipment. The linked functional location is then used to track the actual physical location of the asset or equipment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Linked functional locations can be created in SAP PM by entering the master functional location and then selecting the “Create Linked Functional Location” option. This will create a new linked functional location that is linked to the master functional location. The linked functional location can then be used to track the actual physical location of the asset or equipment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a linked functional location, it is important to ensure that all relevant information about the asset or equipment is entered into the master functional location. This will ensure that all relevant information is available when tracking the physical location of the asset or equipment.
