The information structures are files of special statistics data that constitute an important element of the information systems. They form data basis for the standard analyses. Even planning is based on the information structures.

Standard Information Structures
Self-Defined Information Structures


Self-defined information structures enable you to add your own enhancements to the information systems. You can combine information structures to suit your own needs as well as define your own rules for updating. You can make use of the entire functional range in LIS to create your own information structures. You can use the standard analyses and the flexible analyses to evaluate the user-defined information structures and you can also create planning data for them.

The functions for the user-defined information structures are found in Customizing under the Logistics Information System. The complete functionality can be found under the menu option Data Basis.

You can find further information in the Implementation Guide.

To call up the Implementation Guide, proceed as follows:

From the R/3 system menu, select Tools ® Hypertext ® Structure ® IMG

Updating Statistical Data

The updating of statistical data can take place as an U1-update (update with delayed start) or a U2 update (statistical update).

With Release 4.6C you can also use V3 updating (user-defined period of time).

For every standard information structure, you can define the type of updating and the frequency with which the statistical data should be cumulated (on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, or at posting period intervals). You do this using the Logistics Information System Configuration menu (see also Updating ).

You can improve the monitoring of the update process with the help of a user-specific list known as the update log. This shows details of the last event to be affected by statistics updating (see also Update Control ).
