 Transfer of Statistical Key Figures from the Logistics Information System (LIS)

Use

You can transfer key figures from the Logistics Information System (LIS) to Cost Center Accounting as statistical key figures.

Prerequisites

  • The LIS is active and the Logistics components (LO) feed data to the LIS database.

You must create statistical key figures in the Controlling component, such as number of invoice verifications, and created the corresponding key figure link to the LIS .

In the master data, specify the LIS statistical key figure to be transferred, such as Number of invoi ces (S012 - ALFPP).

  • You have maintained the assignment of one or more statistical key figures to the relevant objects in Customizing or by choosing Start of the navigation path Assignment Next navigation step Maintain End of the navigation path , for example, by specifying the version and the fiscal year.

  • You have entered a variant that uses an assortment of parameters to delimit the values to be taken from the LIS.

For more information about these Customizing settings, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Cost Center Accounting, under:

  • Start of the navigation path Planning Next navigation step Plan Data Transfer Next navigation step Statistical Key Figure Transfer from LIS Next navigation step Define Assignment of Cost Centers to Key Figures End of the navigation path or Define Assignment of Cost Centers/Activity Types to Key Figures

  • Start of the navigation path Actual Postings Next navigation step Actual Data Transfer Next navigation step Statistical Key Figures from LIS Next navigation step Define Assignment of Cost Centers to Key Figures End of the navigation path or Define Assignment of Cost Centers/Activity Types to Key Figures

Features

You can transfer statistical key figures as follows:

Activity-independent on a cost center, cost center groupor on all cost centers of a controlling area

Activity-dependent on a cost center, cost center group or on all costs centers of a controlling area, dependent on an activity type, activity type groupor on all activity types of a controlling area.

Example Example

To transfer the number of invoice receipts for the cost centers of Accounts Payable .

End of the example.

Cost center 1 processes customers ”A” through ”K” and cost center 2 processes customers ”L” through ”Z”.

The system transfers only the invoice receipts for customers ”A” through ”K” to cost center 1. (The same applies to cost center 2.)

A transfer transaction brings the key figures from the LIS. They are posted as statistical key figures on the cost centers.

The system can then allocate data processing costs to cost centers 1 and 2 based on these key figures.

In the information system, you can display the statistical key figures that were automatically transferred.
