Setup of Statistical Data

During a setup (statistical setup), the information structures are

filled with consistent and complete data.

The statistical setup of one or more information structures is necessary

in the following cases:

o If an information structure was created using the Logistics Data

Warehouse (statistical database)

o If the update for the information structures was activated after

documents were already in the system that were meant to be included
in the statistics

o If the statistical update in Customizing was changed

o If the statistical data is inconsistent

Preparation

To restart a statistical update after an termination, allocate a name to

each background run of the setup.

If a statistical setup is then terminated or if a setup is interrupted

from the archive documents, the status of the setup will then be saved
under the name of this run.

When restarting under the same name, processing will continue from the
intermediate status that was saved.

After the run is successfully completed, the intermediate status that

was saved is deleted.

Recommendation

o The reports should run as a background job.

o You should not change the of steps that describe the

sequence
statistical setup of information structures (procedure).

Procedure
The following steps are necessary to perform a complete statistical set
up:

1. Initialize version for statistical setup

For reasons of security, the statistical data determined during a

setup is not directly written into an information structure, but are

saved instead under a separate version name. This version must be
activated for intermediate storage before the statistical setup is
carried out.
For this purpose, the report RMCSISC is available.
P
The actual data is saved under the version name "000".

2. Save actual data

The actual data in the system should be saved for safety reasons.

Again, use report RMCSISC for this purpose.

3. Edit all archived documents

To do this, you can use the various reports that are available in

the individual applications.

4. Edit all documents in the system

This also takes place via the various reports that are available in

the individual applications.

5. Transfer the data which was obtained in the statistical setup from
the statistical setup version to the actual version
The data obtained is only imported to the actual version instead of
the existing data after the successful completion of the statistical
setup.
The report RMCSISC is again used for this purpose.
P

Note
You can see the versions of the standard information structures by

using the standard analyses. Here are the following possibilities:

a) You can allocate the version number of the version as a value to

the user parameter "MCR" that you would like to see.
On the selection screen of the standard analysis, the field
Version under Parameter is automatically completed with the
s
given version number. The version number can be changed simply
by overwriting it.
This setting is user-dependent and applies to al standard
l
analyses.
 b) If you assign the value "X" to the user paramter "MCR", the
version "000" will generally appear on the selection screen of
the standard analyses. Even in this case, the version number can
be overwritten.
This setting is also user-dependent and applies to al standard
l
analyses.

If you want to use either one of these functions, select System

-> User profile -> User . You can select this function
parameters
from any menu.
Recommendation
You should change the user parameters in an alternative session,

as it is not possible to return to the starting point from the

user parameters maintenance screen.

c) Via "User settings", you can also make specifications for the
versions, which are also user-dependent, but also only refer to
on particular standard analysis.
e
To do this, in the selection screen of the standard analysis,
select Goto -> User .
settings
You are now in the standard drill-down. Select Goto
->Parameter .
s
If you set the indicator "Selectable version", the field
"Version" with the version number "000" will also appear on the
selection screen. This version number can be overwritten at any
time and thus changed.

6. Follow-up processing
After successfully completing the statistical setup, you can then

delete data that is no longer needed by deleting the version under

which this data is saved.
These include:

- Safety copy

- Version for statistical setup

The report RMCSISC can be used for this purpose.

Activities

To carry out a statistical setup, procede as follows:

1. Enter your selection requirements.

2. Save your entries.

3. Select Program -> .

Description of the report RMCSISCP

The report RMCSISC is used in all information systems in Logistics. For

P
this reason, the report is described below.

You can use report RMCSISC you can copy or delete versions from
P
information structures under which statistical data has been saved.

The data, that has been saved in an information structure, is different

due to the version under which they have been saved.

The version "000" includes the actual data, i.e., the data that was
written into the information structure as a result of the statistical
update.

The intermediate results are stored in the versions that begin with "&("
and that are created when an information structure is setup.

Planning data is stored under all other versions (that means version
A000 and all numerical versions except version 000).

The statistical setup of an information structure is carried out just

like the online update, with the difference being that the data is not
usually written into version "000" first, but rather into a version that
you choose, that begins with "&(". The data is only copied from this
version into the "000" version after the successful completion of the
initial transfer.

Note
While copying into the "000" version, you must no carry out any
t
postings that update the respective information structure.

To keep the old version "000" (the existing actual data) from being
lost, save it under another version. This "safety copy" is also
generated with report RMCSISC .
P
You can use the indicator "Initialize target version" to delete data
data stored until now under this version. If the indicator "Do not copy
initial records" is set, data records are only set if at least one key
figure is not initial.

Attention

The report RMCSISCP should only be used for copying, deleting and for
copying + deleting. Copy Management should be used to meet more complex
requirements (Tools -> Copy Management).

Activities

1. Enter the name of the information structure that is to be

copied/deleted.

2. Choose a processing type.

The Copy Management screen is called up. The processing type that
you have selected is already set.

3. Here you make all the remaining entries required for selection.

Additional functions

You can also call up a log which contains detailed information about all
of the completed setup runs.

This function allows you to make restrictions by specifying the start

date of a run, the run name, the user and the application.

You can also either print the list of selected setup runs or the detail
screen for a setup run.
