Use

In this IMG activity, you make settings for updating the information structures.

Data analysis in the information systems is based on statistical data which is updated from the operative application to the information structures. Updating is triggered by an event in a logistics application (e.g. purchase order, sales order). An event is a point in time when information is created that needs to be recorded.

You can influence updating by making the following settings:

  • Period unit of the update

    You define the time level on which statistical data is to be cumulated. Here you can choose from the following periods:

    • updating on a daily basis
    • updating on a weekly basis
    • updating on a monthly basis
    • updating on the basis of posting period
      • In this case, you can allocate a posting period to the information structure. The period is then always determined on the basis of this posting period and not in accordance with the posting period for the company code.
      You should allocate a posting period if the company code cannot be accurately derived from the characteristics in the information structure.
      If you do not specify the fiscal year variant, the period split "Posting period" will correspond to the posting period that is automatically determined in the documents for the connection to Financial Accounting.
      If you want to define your own period split (e.g. quarter, two weeks) for an information structure, you need to specify a fiscal year variant.
      If you change the periodicity, data in the information structure for the old periodicity is deleted.
  • Type of updating

    You determine when the information structures are updated. Here, you have the following options:

    • Synchronous update (U1 update)
      • The statistics update is carried out at the same time as the document update.
      If, however, errors occur during updating and the statistics update is therefore terminated, the corresponding documents are no longer available and will need to be re-entered.
    • Asynchronous update (U2 update)
      • Here the document update and the statistics update take place separately so that if the statistics update is terminated, this does not affect the update of the documents that are available in the operative application.
      In addition, you can perform the document update one one system and the statistics update on another.
    • Collective update (U3 update)
      • Again in this case, the document update is separate from the statistics update. This means that if the statistic update is terminated, it does not affect the document update in the operating application.
      However, contrary to the U2 update, the U3 collective update must be scheduled as a job.
    • No update, which means that the update is switched off.

The update can be activated for each application.

Note

You can only change the update periods when the information structures contain planning data only.

For this reason, the information structure whose update period you wish to change cannot be updated yet, i.e. filled with actual data.

Requirements

  • You have assigned a statistics group to the customer.

    You do this in the Sales Area Data of the Customer Master Record for Sales and Distribution (Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Business Partners -> Customer -> Change -> Sales and Distribution).

  • You have assigned a statistics group to the material.

    You do this in the Sales Org. Data 2 view of the Material Master Record (Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Products -> Material -> Trading Goods -> Change).
