Inventory Controlling: Information StructuresIn the standard system, the following information structures are available in Inventory Controlling:
S031 Movements
All key figures relating to material movements involving current valuated stock and vendor consignment stock are updated to this information structure. In the standard system, the period unit in this information structure is ‘month’. You can define your own period unit for the updating of this information structure.
S032 Stocks
The current valuated and vendor consignment stocks are updated to this information structure when a goods movement takes place. The stock values are also updated to this info structure when a goods movement and invoice verification/revaluation take place. This information structure does not contain a period unit.
S033 Movements (individual records)
In order to gain specific results from your analysis, such as determining the date of last consumption, displaying informative receipts/issues diagrams, or obtaining reliable mean stock values, updating of the statistical data must take place on a daily basis. The information structure S033 satisfies this requirement, as it is supplied with data every day.
Structurally, the information structure S033 is identical to the information structure S031, yet also includes the characteristic "document number". Updating is carried out on a daily basis at document level. The period unit for the updating of this information structure cannot be changed in Customizing.
S034 Movements (Batches)
The key figures relating to material movements at plant, storage location, material and batch levels are updated to this information structure.
S035 Stocks (Batches)
The current valuated and vendor consignment stocks are updated to this information structure when a goods movement takes place. This information structure does not refer to any period and is set up in the same way as the information structure S032, yet also contains the additional characteristic ‘batch’.
S039 Planning
This information structure includes all of the key figures that are available in Inventory Controlling, including all of the extra key figures (range of coverage, inventory turnovers, key figures that are calculated using the mean value). No actual data is written to this information structure. This information structure provides the basis for flexible planning .
Note
If you wish to fill the information structure S039 with actual data, then you can use the report RMCBS039. It is always advisable to fill this information structure with actual data if you want to access actual data for the forecast during planning, or if you want use the flexible analyses to evaluate the extra key figures from Inventory Controlling.
S094 Stock/Requirements Analysis
The information structure S094 includes all of the key figures relating to the current stock and requirements situation and forms the data basis for the standard analyses of stock/requirements. Data relating to requirements and stock situation flows into this information structure from MRP (data basis for the standard analysis of the
current
stock/requirements situation), while at the same time data from long-term planning flows into a separate planning version (data basis for the standard analysis long-term planning). Future stock levels are derived from the requirements and future receipts.
Updating of this information structure does not take place on a continual basis for reasons of performance. It can be initialized via a report. For further information, please refer to Updating for Standard Analyses: Requirement/Stock and Parameters Controlling .
S090 Stock Placements/Removals
Key figures relating to the placement and removal of warehouse stocks are updated to this information structure. The key figures of stock placement and removal examine the internal and external warehouse movements from the perspective of a storage section.
The information structure S090 provides the data basis for the standard analyses of stock placement/removal and stock placement/removal: material. You can activate the updating of this information structure in Customizing under Logistics Information System.
S091 Flow of Quantities
Key figures relating to the flow of quantities between two bin locations flow into this information structure. They form the data basis for the standard analyses of flow of quantities, material flows and movement types. You can activate updating for this analysis in Customizing under Logistics Information System.
