In this activity you define various location structures. Location structures are used to uniquely identify parcels or land registers for different purposes.

In Germany, you use these settings to create, at the minimum, the following two hierarchies:

• APR hierarchy for the automated property register of the land registry

• Administrative hierarchy for the survey office

Enter an ID and a name for your location structure.

Specify the number of levels for the hierarchy and the names of each level.

For each location structure, you also specify the following:

• Allowed Hierarchical Location Structures per Object Type
  Specify if assignment of the object type to this location structure is mandatory. Specify if this is the standard location structure.

• Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure
  Here you enter the possible locations for each defined hierarchy level.

Example:
You defined these three levels for the location system:
1 - Country/Region
2 - Region
3 - City
Then you enter all countries/regions, regions, and cities that you need in your system.

• Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure
  You assign the already defined hierarchical locations to one another and assign a key for each location. You can then assign only this key to a parcel or a public register in the application.

You are not required to assign the keys systematically, but it is a good idea. The key of the hierarchical location is not allowed to contain any spaces.
If the assignment should change due to restructuring of individual hierarchical locations, it is not a problem to assign new keys (at the level Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure) or to assign other locations to an existing key. However, if the key itself should change, then you have to change the master data.

You defined the following locations at the given level:

Level 1 - Country/Region
DE - Germany
CH - Switzerland
US - USA      

Level 2 - Region:
D05 - North Rhine-Westphalia
D10 - Bavaria
CH01 - Basel
CH02 - Ticino
US01 - Michigan
US02 - Florida          

Level 3 - City:
D-K - Cologne
D-D - Duesseldorf
D-M - Munich
CH-B - Basel
CH-LG - Lugano
US-CH - Chicago
US-M - Miami
US-OL - Orlando  

Assignment of Hierarchical Locations in Location Structure

For the assignment of hierarchical locations in the hierarchy, you have to assign a unique key to each hierarchical location.
A hierarchical location cannot be used in object unless it has a key here.

DE-K   Cologne     DE   D05   D-K
DE-D   Duesseldorf DE   D05   D-D
DE-M   Munich      DE   D10   D-M
CH-B   Basel       CH   CH01  CH-B
CH-LG  Lugano      CH   CH02  CH-LG
US-CH  Chicago     US   US01  US-CH
US-M   Miami       US   US02  US-M
US-OL  Orlando     US   US02  US-OL

In this case, you would assign the location DE-K to a parcel in Cologne. It is then clearly visible, both in master data processing and in reports, that this parcel has the following location:
1 - Country/Region ,,Germany
- Region: ,,North Rhine-Westphalia
- City ,,Cologne
