Logistics Information System

Logistics Information System

It is for Reports and analysis., evaluation & planning.
The Logistics Information System allows you not only to evaluate
actual data, but also to create planning data. The information
systems provide an easy-to-use planning functions that are also
supported by a forecasting function

The Logistics Information System (LIS) is made up of the

following information systems:

Sales Information System

Purchasing Information System

Inventory Controlling

Shop Floor Information System

Plant Maintenance Information System

Quality Management Information System

Retail Information System (RIS)

Transport Information System (TIS)

Data in the Sales Information System

The following data from the sales and distribution processes
update the information structures:
Sales documents (for example: orders, returns, requests for
quotation, quotations)
Deliveries
Billing documents (debit memos, credit memos, cancellations)
The data flows from the document structure to the
information structures.

Standard analyses
In the standard system, the following standard analyses are
available in the Sales Information System:

1. Customer
A customer analysis is always useful if you want to access data
directly from the customer statistics. Direct access via customer
is possible and is not dependent on the sales organization.

2. Material
This analysis should be used if you want to access specific
statistical data that is directly linked to a material. You can use
this analysis to answer questions such as: What quantity of a
particular material was sold?

3. Sales Organization
This analysis makes it possible for you to view data from the
perspective of sales organization.

4. Shipping Point
The shipping point analysis is based on data that has been
updated from the creation of the delivery note. You can use this
analysis to answer questions such as: Who delivers in what way
(freight forwarding) and to where (route)?

5. Sales Employee
This analysis enables direct access via the sales employee. You
can use this analysis to answer questions such as: What sales
volume has specific sales employee achieved with regard to a
specific customer? You can use the information from this analysis
as the basis for a commission settlement.

6. Sales Office
This analysis enables direct access via the sales office. You can
use this analysis to answer questions such as: What sales
volume has a certain sales group achieved in a certain division?

7. Variant Configuration
This analysis enables you to evaluate data for configurable
materials. In the case of the configurable material car, for
instance, you can analyze the following questions: How many
cars with the color red were sold? How high is the number of
incoming orders for cars with a particular engine power?
In order to ensure that data is updated consistently and with a
high level of performance, you need to observe certain special
features during the statistics update.

Exception Analysis
In the exception analysis, you can display Exceptions, which you
have defined using the Early Warning System. The exception
analysis acts as a filter; this means, only the exceptional
situations are displayed. The exceptional situations can be
highlighted in color.

Info structure updation

Data analysis in the Sales Information System is based on
statistical data that has been updated from Sales and
Distribution to the information structures
Events: Sales information system
The following data from the sales and distribution processes
update the information structures:
Sales documents (for example: orders, returns, requests for
quotation, quotations)
Deliveries
Billing documents (debit memos, credit memos, cancellations)
The data flows from the document structure to the information
structures

Update analysis
Updating in the Sales Information System :

1.Currencies
Currency amounts are always updated in the statistics currency.
The statistics currency is assigned to the sales organization.
Thus, SIS allows you to analyze and compare the data of several
sales organizations that do not belong to the same company
code and could therefore have differing local currencies.
You specify the statistics currency of a sales organization in
Customizing for Sales and Distribution.

2.Quantities
Quantities are updated in the base unit of measure. The base
unit of measure is the unit of measure in which the system
manages the material stocks. It is specified in the material
master record.

3. Weights and Volumes

Weights are updated in kg, volumes in dm3.
Cancellations If a sales event is reversed (that is, canceled) the
statistics are automatically adjusted to reflect this change.

4.Returns/credit memos
Returns and credit memos are updated in their own fields
Statistical data be restructuring
When there are missing or incorrect settings in customizing
(statistics and update groups).You create or change info
structures or updates after your system goes live.
Updating of statistical data can take place in two ways:
As a synchronous update (U1)(Immediate start, i.e., when an
event takes place that triggers an update)As an asynchronous
update (U2)(Delayed start, i.e., updating is slightly delayed after
an event that triggers an update).
