In this step, you can define your own update groups.

Via the update group, you specify which statistical data is recorded and the rules by which the data is updated following a purchase transaction.

The statistical information is stored in the Purchasing Information System in the form of info structures.

Example

Further notes

Further settings

The following additional settings are necessary in Customizing for Purchasing and the Logistics Information Systems (LIS):

  • Assign update group to document type
    Only if you have assigned an update group to a document type can the statistical data of a purchasing document be updated with this document type.
    You maintain the update group for each document type in Customizing for Purchasing under <Document type> -> Define Document Types.
  • Assign update group to item categories
    Only if you have assigned an update group to an item category can the statistical data of a document items be updated with this item category.
    You maintain the update group for each item category in Customizing for Purchasing under Statistics -> Assign Update Groups to Item Categories.
  • Define times of statistics updates
    You can specify the periods for which the statistical data is updated. If you choose daily updating, for example, the data for each day is stored in an info structure. In the case of monthly updating, the data of an entire month is consolidated in an info structure. Thus, if you wish to perform an evaluation at the daily level, your data must be updated on a daily basis.
    You can also specify when the statistical data is updated following a purchase transaction. Updating can take place in the following ways:
    • Synchronously - The statistics are updated as soon as the purchasing document is saved (e.g. when a purchase order is created).
    • Asynchronously - The statistics are updated at a later point in time. (This option is not available in vendor evaluation.)
    • None - The statistics are not updated.

      You maintain the time and period of the statistics update in Customizing for Logistik (General) under Logistics Information System (LIS) -> Logistics Data Warehouse -> Updating -> Updating Control -> Activate Update.

      Activities

  1. Choose Purchasing.
  2. Process the settings for the info structure via Edit -> Parameters.
