Summary :
Update needed for the 'Functional Area' field in SAP plant or service maintenance orders as described in transactions IW31, IW32, and IW33. Users must adapt screen settings following Release 4.7 changes that extended the field length from 4 to 16 characters. Adjustments via SE51 using SAPLCOIH include modifying layout attributes for field CAUFVD-FUNC_AREA. These steps involve accessing the Screen Painter, adjusting text field sizes, and activating the new layout to reflect the updated field specifications.
