SCM600--Analyses for Sales and Distribution Processes

Analyses for Sales and Distribution Processes[@more@]

1.Lists and Reports
*Lists fall into two categories.
. Online lists:
Online lists display, for example, sales, delivery, or billing documents for a customer, a material, or a combination of both.Other online lists display documents with a status that requires processing.
. Worklists:
(for instance, all documents that are blocked for delivery)Worklists allow you to select certain tasks in sales and distribution and to process them afterwards. You select the tasks according to your area of responsibility and to various selection criteria (such as date, organizational element, or customer).

2.Sales Information System
*Information structures comprise three basic types of information:
. Characteristics are criteria that you specify to collect data on a certain subject.In SD, you generally require sales information about sales organizations, sales offices, customers, and materials.
. A period unit is also a criterion used in information structures. You can update data for a particular period (a day, week, month, or a posting period, for example).
. Key figures are metric for services rendered. They provide key corporate information regarding a particular characteristic. In SD, for example, incoming orders, sales, and returns are of key importance.

3.Business Information Warehouse
*The lower level contains the source systems, which include mySAP.com components or external systems such as non-SAP systems or files.
*The central administration area of the SAP BW contains a staging engine and databases. The staging area controls the loading and processing of data and prepares the data for subsequent processes.The SAP BW databases store not only master data but also metadata.
*The Business Explorer and its reporting tools are on the third level. These tools allow you to carry out simultaneous Microsoft Excel and Web-based analyses according to different dimensions, such as time, location and product.
*As Business Framework components, source systems and Business Information Warehouse communicate via BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces).
