Period Units in Updating: Shop Floor Information System 

In addition to the type of update, you can also define the period unit to be used in the updating process.

The period unit specifies the intervals at which the statistical data is cumulated. You can choose from the following:

You can define a period unit for every standard information structure. Only in information structures S021 and S022 is the period unchangeable and fixed to ‘day’.

The standard SAP time period setting in the Shop Floor Information System is ‘day’ for information structures S021, S022, S025, S026, S027, S028 and S029, and ‘month’ for information structures S023 and S024.

The prerequisite for changing the period unit is that no actual data has been updated in the information structure.

You make settings for the period unit for the standard information structures in Customizing for the Logistics Information System.
