About info-structure

Recently I was asked about the function of infostructure, but I have no idea about it.
Could someone here tell me some about it.
Eg, I can use T-code:OMOD to config the PP-infostructures.
It is highly appreciated for any information.
Wilson

Infostructures are back bone of LIS. In SAP you can kind of correlate them to a database table. The information in these would be updated as and when transactions are executed in the SAP system depending on the configuration.
eg,
S021 Production Order
This information structure contains the item data from the production order for material. It forms the data basis for the standard analysis of production order.
S022 Operation
The operation data from the production order for work center is updated to this information structure. This information structure provides the data basis for the standard analysis of operation.
S023 Material
The information structure S023 contains the totals records for material and forms the data basis for the standard analysis of material.
S024 Work Center
This information structure contains the totals records for work center and provides the data basis for the standard analysis of work center.
If the system is set up the right way, when Production order is created, the info structure will get updated (eg.)
Thanks

  • Use of Info structure

    Hi,
    Can anybody please guide me use of info structures (except in SOP) along with functional example ?
    Regards,
    Samir

    Dear colleague ,
    I´m not sure of understanding what do you need about info structures.
    Do you want to use in flexible planning?
    or do you mean the use of info structures as reports of LO-LIS? If you neeed additional info about LO-LIS, this is not the appropiate forum.
    If you work with flexible Planning and you want to use infostrucutres you have to create your info with your characteristics and key figures.
    This is under LO-LIS cusotmizing.
    Also her you will find the point to define the update rules for your infostructure.
    After htat , you have to activate for planning in MC7F.
    In MC8B you fill the header parameters for planning
    In MC94 you access to planning table
    In MC8G you will find all the mass actvities that you can perform.
    This topic is very extensive to be explained through a thread, I would invite you to  check the following link:

  • Self defined LIS info structure

    Hi Experts,
       I would like to create an info structure S501 including the following characteristics and key figures.
    Characteristics:
    Region
    Country
    Sold-to Party
    Material
    Key Figures:
    Prod. Alloc. Qty
    Incoming Order Qty.
       I got problems when specifiying update rules. Any hints for it? I don't know what to do with it. Thanks.

    Hi Macy,
    You can go to transastion code <b>MC9C</b> and enter your self-defined info structure and version. The system will generate automatically a  standard analysis program report for above info structure.
    From here you can check the program name etc.
    Also check this link for more detail about LIS.

  • Info structures update

    Hi!
    I'm new to info structures (I'm otherwise ABAPer) and I'm probably not posting this question on the right forum. If so, please redirect me.
    Anyway, here's the question:
    How do I set an info structure to be filled with data on certain actions? My first idea (as ABAPer) is to use brutal force like user-exit and direct table insert. But I suppose that info structures were not ment to be treated this way, because otherwise they wouldn't differ from Z* tables. Does anyone know the proper way to do this(or proper forum for this question)?
    Kind regards,

    Our LIS structures were set up by the implementation team so I'm getting this second hand by looking at SPRO.  I have loaded them and made mods in the past. I'll tell you what I can.
    We use LIS to capture order and sales data.  I'm not familiar with the event you're talking about but it is likely in there some place.  I'll tell you what I can about how mine is set up and maybe you can get a clue therein.  I must say that is is one area of SAP that I really dislike.  Very complicated and documentation is hard to find.
    I'm not sure how far you are but if you've managed to build an infostructure (it should be an empty transparent table. ex. S501) then let's see if just turning on the update is all you need.  If not, we'll have to look at the structure and update rules.
    See the section under LIS called Updating/Updating Control.  Run the Activate Update tran, select the area you data comes from, and take a peek at that list.  For each structure, there is an update control.  It shows the level up rollup of the data (daily, monthly, etc.) I believe.  IN the updating section, you'll see update methods K 1 2 3.  K is "OFF", no updates.  1 is synchronous (V1 update, transaction save waits until LIS is updated), 2 is async (V2 update, transaction requests an update but let's it run async), 3 is the same as 2 accept that the update is scheduled differently.  Just check the F1 help on each of these radio buttons.
    Once you turn on an update, your transaction should spawn an entry into the LIS structure if all went well.
    See if that clue gives you a boost. If not, let me know what specific questions you have and I'll try to assist.

  • Info structures S031, S032 & S033 stopped updating since 09/2009.

    Hello friends,
    In our DEV system, Info Strucres S031, S032 & S033 stopped updating after 09/03/2009.  There are material documents after that date, but infostrucres are not updated.   All these info structures are active, and all their requirements are also active.  So, what could have gone wrong - how to resolve this ?   BTW, in QAS and PRD, these info structures are being updated.  Kindly help.
    Thanks,
    - Chetan

    HI,
    The structures are always updated when you execute a transaction that is supposed to update the struture, almost real time. The small technical difference: it is updated asynchronous.
    Means you have a time difference of a few milliseconds to seconds from the synchronous posting of a material document and its update in the infostructure.
    And if the update of the infostructure fails for some technical reason, then this would have no impact to the original material document. In other words, an update error of an infostructure can lead to inconsistencies.
    Tthe regeneration of the infostructure is certainly the way to get the info back to have good numbers in the infostructures. However, you have to investigate first why you have this inconsistencies and what caused them, then you have to make sure that this failure will not happen again (maybe by implementing an OSS note), and then you can think about regenerating the infostructure.
    For re-generation, nobody must post anything that updates this infostructure, and the re-generation can last some hours, so it is not a task that can be executed every week.

  • Report generation and Info Structure updation

    Hi
    When are the Tables: S094 and other info structures gets updated?? For Example S094 is updated with materials and has the stock details and it have Goods issue MRP Goods issue Valuation etcu2026 I tried creating a material and created a PIR and run MRP for it and checked the tables its not updated in the S094 table.
    Also I am not able to execute Transaction MCEC and MCEA transaction for generating reports for LTP run.
    Is there any configurations that has to be done for the above??? Like the LIS (Logistics information system settings) that has to be done for generating the above reports.

  • Copying sales history into new info structure

    Hi Gurus,
    We are running SAP since last two years and company is running since last 30 year but we have never used SAP S&OP. Now we want to use one. So far we have created info structure with required characteristics and key figures.
    Can you please suggest me the process of copying sales history into info structure?
    I will be really grateful to you if suggest me ASAP.
    Thank in advance.
    Kind Regards
    Raja Ram

    What the heck is S&OP?
    If you're talking about [LIS|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/c1/37544e449a11d188fe0000e8322f96/frameset.htm], then there is some standard functonality to populate the newly created info structures with the data from existing documents.
    Path in SPRO (may differ slightly, depending on the R/3 release):
         Logistics General
         Logistics Information System (LIS)
         Logistics Data Warehouse
         Data Basis
         Tools
         Setup of Statistical Data
         Application-Specific Setup of...
         Perform Setup u2013 Sales and Distribution
    But if you need to bring in sales history from a legacy system, you'll need to write an ABAP report for that.

  • Info structure S941

    Hi there
    I have been looking into info structure S941 and found the "sales" column is actually calculated to company currency with the exchange rate maintained in sales documents instead of the one we update every period. Is there a way to change it to use the exchange rate of current period? I can see in transaction MC23 and MC26 that the unit of "sales" field is 32 - "statistics currency". Should we change it to 30 "local currency"? Not sure if it helps. Thank you in advance for any input.
    yu

    Just FYI - info structures with number 500 and beyond are custom, not standard, so asking any questions specifically about them is pointless.
    I'm not sure if 'local currency' will help in your case, but you can always try in a test system and see what difference it makes. You might want to read the documentation first and search the forum though.
    Keep in mind that there is also an option to use a different Analysis currency when viewing the data in MCSI. And if you choose to make changes in the info structure update, you might have to re-populate it.

    I am new to info structure concept. Can someone help me out with the below query.
    I have a infostructure S998, for ISU sales statics. I can see a tranparent table corresponding to the same S998.
    This info structure has a date (BIS) as a characteristci field. the same field is seen in table S998. I am supposed to find out how is this field "BIS" in table S998 updated. Could someone guide me how to check the updation of this field?

  • Transporting Info Structure configuration - or bypassing OMO1

    I'm trying to transport the settings for a custom info structure (call it S899) from my development system to production.  The settings are those in transaction OMO1 and MC25.
    Here's the problem: I have access to do manual config in MC25 (updating rules). I can add a requirement, and generate.  However, when I click "Activate Updating" button, it returns me to OMO1.  Here, when I attempt to select the update parameters for S801, it allows me to do so.  But when I try to save those parameters (changed from "no updating" to "synchronous updating") it says "SAP SYSTEM NOT CHANGEABLE".   Wow!   That authorization will never happen!
    So how do I go about changing the Update Parameters in OMO1 for an info structure?  Or better yet, is it possible to transport those values?

    Ferry, thanks.  However, if you follow the OSS note instructions for OMO1, when you hit the "Save" button, it comes back with an error message:
    The system administrator has set the system status to "not modifiable".
    You cannot change Repository objects in this system.
    I did find another OSS note 414163, which addresses this issue. However, the solution code is implemented in our system.  And in fact, IT is the cause of the problem. It blocks the update from ever taking place!

  • Reload LIS Info Structure

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We would want to change our LIS Info Structure update from V2 monthly to V2 daily but when we are about to do so, the system tell us that if we push through with it, the system would have to delete the data in the info structure.
    I tried doing this in our test system and true enough, the data in the info structure was deleted. The info structure we are using is S012 for purchasing.
    If I posted this in the wrong section, please redirect me to the correct one.
    Hope to hear from you guys soon!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I have not done this myself but there is a transaction oLi3 that will set up the info structure from existing documents.
    Try this but use caution and ONLY try it in your Play client / sandbox.
    Or have a look at the config under Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data Basis > Tools > Set up of statistical data
    This seems to be the area you need to investigate.
    Sorry if this is vague but I have not done this before and nobody else seemed to be able to offer any help?

  • What is info structure?

    Hi,
    Can you experts tell me what is info structure? In what way, it is different from regular structures or tables?
    Thanks in advance for your clarification.

    Please use Search button - not a day goes by on SDN without a question about the info structures.
    Info structures are just the tables named Snnn, e.g. S001. They are part of the SAP standard Logistics Info System:

  • Adding new key figure in Info structure

    Hi all,
    I am in a need to add a new key figure to our info structure here in my company.
    The way I understand it is, it would be best to create a NEW info structure and copy all existing key figure and characteristic and then insert my new key figure into this and rewrite the macro if required.
    So my question is
    1. How to determine which info structure is currently in use in my company? If i check in MC89 - the key figures match what is in Info structure S076. So is it safe to assume that we are using standard S&OP in my company? Is that a correct way to identify the currently used info structure?
    2. For our KMAT, when i open a planned order I see that there in another info structure (not S076) under configuration tab. So can we have diff info structure in use at a same time ?
    Please guide.
    Thanks,

    Hi Nisha,
    1. First of all, How would I determine which info structure is being used at this time in my company?
    I need to know this so that when I am creating my own custom (S500 - S999) info structure, i can copy the existing KFs and Characteristics and add them to my info structure and then Add a specific key figure on top of that.
    Info structures are nothing but tables so in se16 you can check which are Info structures are having update values.
    Yes you can add the specific key figure on existing self defined info structure in MC22 after that you need to generate it.
    2. Can multiple info structure be in 'use' at the same time in any scenario? 
    For self defined info structure are application specific you can not have multiple info structure for same scenario. If you take the example of flexible planning with self defined info structure then you can transfer the demand from only one info structure.
