ANALYTICS

Figure 5-54 depicts the information structures used in the sales information
system. Standard information structures store data based on organizational
elements—sales organization and shipping point, for example—as well as mas-
ter data such as customer and material.

Figure 5-54: Information structures

Information structures are used to generate both standard and fl ex-
ible analyses. Figure 5-55 provides an example of standard analysis, specifi -
cally, an analysis of sales that includes sales organizations, order value, and
invoiced amount. It further demonstrates a drilldown to display customers
(Philly Bikes and Motown Bikes) for a selected sales organization (UE00).
Drilling down for one customer (Philly Bikes) reveals data for each time
period (month).
