# Functional Locations

> Functional locations, their partners, long texts and warranties: fields, row actions and SAP operations, the rules SAP applies and the Private Edition differences.

> **Draft brief for authors.** The family overview (hand-written) plus the generated pages below.

**Overview contains:** the four objects; Create (the row names the label, SAP derives the superior location, the structure indicator on Create only), Change, Install (in a superior functional location the row must name), Dismantle, Deactivate, Activate, Set and Reset Deletion Flag; what is not offered yet (class assignments, characteristic values; on premise: alternate labels, linear asset data).
