Standard Analyses in RIS

The Retail Information System contains a number of Standard Analyses to evaluate data from different perspectives. You can usually evaluate data at the merchandise category aggregation level in SAP Retail.

Information Structures form the basis for the standard analyses. During a standard analysis, data from the information structures is read, stock levels are calculated and the calculated key figures are determined.

You can use the Switch Information Structure function to execute a detail analysis at other levels. You can, for example, display all the articles for a merchandise category and use this function to change to the Article information structure (S085) or to Article/Add-On (S087), thus performing evaluations at a lower aggregation level.

You can use the Early Warning System for all standard analyses to set an Exception and display this in the exception analysis. The exception analysis acts as a filter; this means, only the exceptional situations are displayed. These can be highlighted in color. More information about the Early Warning System and other tools of the Logistics Information System can be found in the SAP Menu under  Info Systems Logistics Retail Tools in the documentation for LIS.
