Define key figures and master data characteristics

In this activity, you stipulate the key figures and master data characteristics for transferring data to:

For the purpose of data selection, aspects are available containing key figures for:

The characteristics available are the master data characteristics from the inheritance rune as part of summarization.

The system uses the selection you enter to generate and activate the sender structures PSGENACC and PSGENLOG.

Generate the key figures and characteristics once only. For performance reasons, you should select only the characteristics you really need for your evaluation.

Requirements

As part of inheritance, you can use customer enhancement CNEX0025 to define additional fields as summarization characteristics. After the inheritance run, the additional fields are available as characteristics for creating aspects.

Standard Settings

The standard system contains two sender structures for you to use as templates for automatic generation of rules for the transfer to EIS. They are:

Activities

1. First, choose the characteristics for transfer. The master data characteristics for summarization and, if required, additional fields chosen using the customer enhancement are available. Select only the characteristics you want to use to summarize your data in EIS.
2. Choose Activate.
When you activate, the two sender structures are generated in the Data Dictionary.
3. Then choose the accounting/logistics key figures.
Select the key figures you need for your evaluations, then choose Activate.
4. Before you can transfer PS data to EIS, you must configure the data collection program. For details for the steps you must carry out to do this, read Set up data transfer program.

Further Notes

When the characteristics are generated, the selected fields are stored in the field catalog in table PSERB and are then available in both the accounting aspect and the logistics aspecte.

The selection of data for extracts is effected using the selection screen for logical database PSJ.

Costs, revenues, and payments are read on the basis of value category assignment.

If you generated characteristics or key figures more than once, the transfer rules stored in EIS are no longer correct. The aspect assignment is wrong. For this reason, generate the characteristics again.

Transport Note

You must transport the generated structures manually in the usual way.. Create a manual transport request and enter the following objects:
