Transfer of Statistical Key Figures from the Logistics Informati (SAP Library

Transfer of Statistical Key Figures from the Logistics Information System (LIS)

Use

You can transfer key figures from the Logistics Information System (LIS) to Cost Center Accounting as statistical key figures.

Prerequisites

The requirements include:

The LIS is active and the Logistics components (LO) feed data to the LIS database.

You must create statistical key figures in the Controlling component, such as number of invoice verifications, and created the corresponding key figure link to the LIS.

In the master data, specify the LIS statistical key figure to be transferred, such as Number of invoices (S012 - ALFPP).

You have maintained the assignment of one or more statistical key figures to the relevant objects in Customizing or by choosing Assignment ® Maintain, for example, by specifying the version and the fiscal year.
You have entered a variant that uses an assortment of parameters to delimit the values to be taken from the LIS.

For more information about these Customizing settings, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Cost Center Accounting, under:

Planning ® R/3 Internal Plan Data Transfer ® Statistical Key Figure Transfer from LIS ® Maintain Cost Center / Key Figure Assignment or Maintain Activity Type / Key Figure Assignment

Actual Postings ® R/3 Internal Actual Data Transfer ® Statistical Key Figures from LIS ® Maintain Cost Center / Key Figure Assignment or Maintain Activity Type / Key Figure Assignment

Features

You can transfer statistical key figures as follows:

Activity-independent on a cost center, cost center group or on all cost centers of a controlling area

Activity-dependent on a cost center, cost center group or on all costs centers of a controlling area, dependent on an activity type, activity type group or on all activity types of a controlling area.

Example

To transfer the number of invoice receipts for the cost centers of Accounts Payable.

- Cost center 1 processes customers "A" through "K" and cost center 2 processes customers "L" through "Z".

- The R/3 System transfers only the invoice receipts for customers "A" through "K" to cost center 1. (The same applies to cost center 2.)

- A transfer transaction brings the key figures from the LIS. They are posted as statistical key figures on the cost centers.

- You can use this data as a tracing factor for periodic allocations.

The R/3 System can then allocate data processing costs to cost centers 1 and 2 based on the statistical key figures.

You can display the statistical key figures in the information system.
