Sales information system
With the SAP SD Sales Information System (SIS), you can compress data from sales document to obtain information. The Sales information System (SIS) is apart of the Logistics information systems (LIS).
The list fall into two categories, Online List and Work list.
Online List
- Provide Data for document,
- Display document for example-For a customer or a material, with a specific status.
- Allow you to check and change the documents.
- Display activities that need to be processed.
- Allow you to organize tasks into efficient work units.
- Work list allows you to select certain task in SD and to process them afterwards.
- You select the task according to area of responsibility on various selection criteria (such as date, organizational element or customer).
Information structure contained three basic type of information:-
- Characteristics, Period Unit, and Key Figures.
Standard Analysis:
- A variety of tools are available that allow you to analyze. These include, for example, Cumulative Curves, ABC analysis, time series, top-n evaluation, and comparison option.
- The analysis is based on the information structure. First, you select the required data scope depending on the characteristics and period of information structure. This data is first displayed in basic list, which can be drilled down to display different characteristics.
- Flexible analysis in LIS allow you to determine which data in which format is combined to create an individual report.
- With Flexible Analysis you can combine characteristics and key figures from different information structure in one list.
- Information is transferred from the preceding document to subsequent document.
- Describes the mapping of business process in sales by creation of sales document with reference of preceding document, this enable document flows to be built up that describe business process.
- This allows you to copy partial quantities or all the item and quantities in reference document directly by choosing Item selection. You can select certain items and can change quantities before they are copied.
- A sales process is made up of the sequence of individual process steps, recorded as documents; this process chain is stored in the document flow.
- You can view all the documents within the document flow in a list, you can branch to individual documents by double clicking and to display of a document and then return to document flow.- In status overview in document flow, you can quickly find detailed information about current status of SD process.
- Document flow updated, when indicator “update doc. Flow” is set in Copying Control.
