You can use the standard analysis Group view to answer queries on a particular object type. This object is not a central object that is processed directly in the work item, but an object that has an ordering role in the process environment.

The information structure S303 forms the data basis for the standard analysis Group view.

The Group view is based on the object that is referenced in the task container element _WI_Group_ID. This container element is not filled as standard. For purposes of grouping and analysis it must be given an object reference explicitly by using binding.

• In the element _WI_Object_ID of the task container, each of the work items for processing a production order references one object of the type Production order.

• In addition to this, in each task container, the element _WI_Group_ID has to be filled with the object reference to the sales order relating to the production order

The information structure S303 has to be filled with data. This is done by transferring the data to the LIS with the program RMCADATA, that has to be scheduled periodically as a job. The update rules for the standard analysis Group view determine which data from the runtime tables is copied to the information structure S303.

The standard analysis group view uses the following characteristics: (The characteristics are given in the order in which they are shown.)

• Group type (object type of the object referenced in _WI_Group_ID)
• Group (concatenated key fields of the referenced object)
• Task
• Date
• Work item
