 Transferring Statistical Key Figures From the LIS

Use

You can transfer key figures that exist in the Logistics Information System (LIS) to cost accounting, where they are referred to as statistical key figures. The transfer can be executed as follows:

  • Activity-independent to a cost center/cost center group, business process/business process group, or to all cost centers/business processes of a controlling area

  • Activity-dependent to a cost center/cost center group or to all cost centers of a controlling area based on one activity type/activity type group or all activity types

Prerequisites

Before you transfer statistical key figures from LIS, you must establish a connection between LIS and the key figures and cost centers in the controlling area. You do this by assigning one or more statistical key figures to the cost center by specifying, among other things, the version and fiscal year.

To do so, choose Assignment -> Maintain or the following activities in Cost Center Accounting Customizing under Planning -> Plan Data Transfer -> Statistical Key Figure Transfer from LIS :

Define Statistical Key Figure Link with LIS ).

Define Cost Center - Key Figure Assignment

Define Cost Center/Activity Type - Key Figure Assignment

Procedure

Execute the data transfer as follows:

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Accounting Next navigation step Controlling Next navigation step Cost Center Accounting Next navigation step Planning aids Next navigation step Transfers Next navigation step Activity-independent statistical key figures, LIS End of the navigation path or Activity-dependent statistical key figures, LIS

  2. Specify the objects for which you want to transfer statistical key figures from LIS:

  1. A single cost center

  2. A range of cost centers

  3. A cost center group

  4. A user-defined selection variant

  5. All cost centers

  1. Enter the version, period and fiscal year.

  2. Specify whether the system should overwrite existing key figures or not change them. To do so, activate either Reset, Overwrite, or, Do not change.

  3. Maintain the processing option parameters:

  1. If you want to transfer large data sets, you should set up a background job to be run when the system is not heavily in use. Select Background processing .

  2. If you do not want the system to update the results, select Test run .

  3. You should also select Detail lists along with Test run , so you can check the results of the test run.

Note Note

For performance reasons, you should only activate the detail list when absolutely necessary. In either case, the system outputs a results list.

End of the note.

  1. Enter a LIS template.

  1. Enter the fiscal year.

  2. Enter a template version from which the key figures in LIS are found.
