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:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a5/632f3b43a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
If after that you have specific questions , create specific threads fro each of them.
Please provide points to the replies to keep the Forum alive
best regards

    Dear All,
    I have created a Info structure by copying S070 info structure. I have created an update rule and activated the updating also, but when i use this info structure in MCI7 (Info system) no data is displayed in that screen. Only ' 0 ' is displayed in all the fields.
    I am not able to understand where am i going wrong, I would request you to please help me solve the above issue.
    If possible please reply with detail procedure of creating new Info Structure.

    Hi
    Characterstics used as criteria according to which the data record is selected in info structure, in this case you can add new characterstics for searching creteria, but it is not recomanded to delete the old one as this is only searching creteria. yes you need to re-generate the info structure after every updates.

  • 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.

    Dear,
    This is problem with your self define info-structure check all characteristics and key figure in MC22.
    or information on possible causes, please refer to the long text of the message.  In addition, this message will be displayed if your infostructure contains more than one characteristic that uses either of the check tables MARA or T001W.  In otherwords, you should have only one material characteristic and one plant characteristic in your infostructure.

  • Info Structure S031 - Information on movement type categories

    How can I find out the movement type categories for the S031 info structure? For instance what movement types add to the "Goods receipt" total or the "Goods issue" total.   Also, how do you "switch off the updating process for specific, individual movements" as mentioned in the SAP documentation below.
    The SAP documentation says:
    "Goods movements are divided into the following types:
    Goods receipt
    Goods issue
    Stock transfer
    Transfer posting
    Inventory differences
    You can switch off the updating process for specific, individual movement types in inventory management or in one of the subsequent applications in the logistics chain."

    Hi Sherry,
    I had similar requirement. You have two options:
    1. Just as you've known you can use the field "Statistically relevant".
    With this indicator, you control whether a movement type is statistically relevant for Inventory Controlling or not.
    In the standard system, all movement types are set in such a way that all material movements for the valuated stock and for the vendor consignment stock are updated.
    2. You can define by statistic group:
    As of Release 3.0C, there is a customer-specific enhancement that enables you to define a maximum of 4 statistics groups for each movement type. The name for the statistics group has four digits and is freely definable. With the help of the statistics group, you can individually update key figures of Inventory Controlling.
    Example: Key figure Consumption and Range of coverage
    In table T156, the movement types are characterized as relevant to consumption. Consumption is correspondingly updated in Inventory Controlling. In the information system, it can be useful for the user to interpret issue quantities (that is actually no consumption) as consumption in order to calculate the range of coverage of the material.
    Example: A material is always transported into another plant by stock transfer. In the issuing plant, no range of coverage can be calculated because the stock removal quantity is not affecting consumption (movement type 351).
    What is to be done in detail?
    a) Maintain table TMCA via Transaction SM31.
    b) Use SAP enhancement MCB10001 for Inventory Controlling.
    Here, you can change the field contents of communication structures MCBEST and MCBEST according to your requirements.
    In the above-mentioned example, the source code in the SAP enhancement would have to be as follows:
    LOOP AT XMCMSEG.
    * Kommunikationsstruktur Bestandscontrolling
    IF XMCMSEG-STGRP1 = '1234'.
    * Statistikgruppe 1234
    * Menge Gesamtverbrauch
    XMCMSEG-MGVBR = XMCMSEG-MENGE.
    MODIFY XMCMSEG.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    Please let me know if this helps you.
    Regards,
    Shawn.

    steps to create own infostructure by copying standard infostructure.
    steps.... 1) First Create your own info structure using menu path SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis > information structure > maintain self defined ino structure Here create a New stucture called S901 (Follow Custom defined structure naming conventions) for application 07, by copying S115 .
    Once inside this Choose the Charateristic button below and CHOOSE SELECTION LIST.
    This will popup a list of fields that can be added to the structure for analysis per field catalogue.
    Navigate to the notification Object field catalog to select the Order number.
    Select other field as appropriate from other field catalog and copy them.Then select or de-select the "Key figures" thats relevant for your needs Check ,generate and activate the same structure and save.
    2) Create Update rules for updating this info structure by copying the rules of S115.
    SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis >Updating > Specific definition using update Rules > Maintain update rules.
    Enter the newly created Structure name and choose teh Update group 26 (use drop down) and enter the S115 and 26 as teh group and rules to copy from.
    Delete the rules thats not relevant for your needs and then check, and Choose "generate: and then activate the "UPDATING" and save.
    3) Activate the Update type for the new structure. SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis >Updating > Update Control > Activate Update.
    Choose PM and double click on the new structure that you had just created and chosoe Period and Type of updating (2: Similar to other standard info structures). and save.
    This should start updating New orders that you are creating from Now on.
    However if you would like to pre-populate existing data in this structure for analysis, then you would have to run through the generation program in background for this specific structure.
    SPRO> Logistics general > LIS > Logistics data warehouse > Data basis >tools > setup of statistical data >Application specific setup of statistical data > perform setup - PM.
    Here make sure to do the PMIS statistical setup (This might be redundant, if you havent changed any value category that updates PMCO table) and Set Up: Plant Maintenance IS(Make sure to choose your specific structure).
    You should be able to check the table entries to confirm that the program has updated the table (Name of the info structure).
    The defaulted version could be different from the standard version (000).You could copy the data from one verion to another version using the first step in this block.
    Once the genration is complete you should be ready to use this structure using MCIS transaction (PMIS > Standard analysis > User defined analysis).
    This will list out all the user defined structures and you can pick and execute the one that you had just created.

  • User-defined info structures

    Hi,
    How are info structures populated? Where does the data come from?
    I have a problem with the stock quantity being displayed in the report because in RWBE, there are no stocks being reflected but using MCG3 and choosing the info structure, I'm getting values.
    Thanks!

    Hi Winnie CHan
    Info structures are populated with regular transaction data like material movements.
    You have standard info structures already for inventory. Did you explore them ?
    Check the options available in Inventory reporting/Inventory Info systems (suggest you to use the menu paths under MM. That's the besy way to explore

  • Enhance Standard Info Structure SAP_CRM_ACT to add custom fields in CRM Activity archive Search

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement where we need to enhance CRM UI archive search with custom fields for CRM activity Object CRM_ACT_ON. As per my analysis Standard Archive Search for activity Uses info structure SAP_CRM_ACT for searching archived data.
    But when we are trying to add custom fields into above field catalog, it is treated as modification. But Modification is not allowed in our landscape.
    Standard infostructure is harcoded in SAP standard method ARCHIVING_READ of class CL_CRM_REPORT_ACC_DYNAMIC which is called as part of the process. So we are not able to go ahead with custom info structure.
    Can you please le me know if there are any alternative way to meet above requirement or I have missed any steps.

  • LIS - Info Structures

    Dear GURU's
    Is it advisable to created user define info structures in the system? if so is there any specific steps that i have to follow to create info structures.
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Regards
    Charith

    It is advisable to create new info structures when the standard info structures do not comply with your requirements and the volume of data does not allow a "document based" reporting through ALV.
    If you use SAP BI or another Reporting solution (Business Objects, etc.), you might or not decide to create an info structure in the SAP ERP system anyway, it will depend. For example if you already use SAP BI, then you want to do all the Reporting in SAP BI, not in the SAP ERP. But if you decide to use another solution for Reporting as can be SQL Server Reporting Services or similar, then it will be very useful to define an info structure in SAP because your data will be already formated for Reporting and therefore much easier to extract.
    Regarding customizing, please check relevant customizing help in the SAP system and search this forum. I am pretty sure someone has already described the whole process which first step is of course: Define clearly what you want to achieve from a business point of view, not a technical one.

  • Recovering data lost during change of unit of time for Info structure S061.

    Dear Sir,
    I have changed the period unit from 'month' to 'week' through SPRO>Logistic Data Warehouse>Activate update.
    Due to this the data of Info Structure S061 is lost and when MCI3 transaction is executed the message " No Data found"
    message is shown.
    Kindly guide me how to get back the past data in MCI3.
    Thanks and Regards,
    R N Sabat.
    Edited by: rnsabat on May 25, 2011 11:01 AM

    Hi,
    A update period of day/week will not work for S061. Any structure with costs must be set to month or posting period. See note [180047|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/180047].
    If you want to make cost evaluations in the information system, only use the period unit 'month' or the posting period.
    Once you adjust the customizing it will be necessary to rebuild the info-structure S061 with OLPM transaction. This works on the basis that a temporary version is created e.g. &(1
    This temporary version must then be copied to the live version 000 using transaction OLIX.

  • Creating info structure in product allocation

    Hi,
    i was trying to configure to product allocation but doubt in the below step while trying to create info structure with MC21.. i am not able to find the below KF and characteristics fields as shown in the below document..kindly help.
    Regards,
    Vijesh

    As already indicate to you in my previous post in Error product allocation
    whatever doc you are following/referring, they have not using any standard infostructure for product allocation. The only difference between the Infostructure S140 & custom infostructure you are referring is of division. Instead of Customer group, you have Division in Characteristics.
    So, for practicing purpose, try with infostructure S140.
    Else, you need to understand how customs infostructure created or maintain in LIS/SIS. There many discussion on the same and you need to search and try. Accordingly, raise discussion for specific queries, while creating an Infostructure.
