Understanding Floor Information

After you set up the business unit and building information, you can assign floors to the building in the Floor Information program (P1506). Setting up floors is optional because a single unit could comprise the entire floor. If you do set up floors, you must assign each floor an area grouping code and area grouping value for reporting purposes. The default area grouping code is FLOR, which signifies physical floor space. When you use this area grouping code, the system automatically assigns the value of the floor to the area grouping value. The system stores floor information in the Floor Master (F1506), Area Master (F1514), and Log Standard Master (F1523) tables.

After you set up a floor, you can assign the necessary information, or floor log. To reduce errors, you can set the Copy Log Standards processing option in the P1506 program to copy the standard log information that is set up for the area grouping code.
