Structure of the Documentation
This section contains information about how to use the following (see also components of the Logistics Information System ):
Information systems (Purchasing Information System, Sales Information System, Inventory Controlling, Shop Floor Information System, Plant Maintenance Information System, Quality Management Information System, Retail Information System)
The information systems have a uniform, logical structure as well as uniform user guidance. They use a number of central techniques for evaluating data. For this reason, they are described in one document. Special features of the information systems will then be noted in separate sections.

Note on Calculating Key Figures: TIS
The Early Warning System is integrated in all the information system menus and has its own menu option. You can find examples from all of the areas of logistics in the documentation. These examples can, however, easily be applied to other application areas of logistics.
Refer to:
Logistics Information Library
The Logistics Information Library, like the Early Warning System, is also integrated in all of the information system menus and has its own menu option.
Refer to:
What is the Logistics Information Library (LIL)?
Searching and Retrieving Key Figures
Integrating Key Figures in the LIL
Note
Since the planning functionality of the information systems and the component
Sales and Operation Planning
(SOP) are combined into one central planning and forecasting tool, you will find the documentation on planning in the document
PP - Sales and Operation Planning
and not in this document.
The documentation for the component Logistics Data Warehouse can be found in the Implementation Guide for the Logistics Information System under "Data basis" and "Updating".
