Note

If a document cannot be processed with the update group you specify, the system determines the next possible update it can carry out. For example, you select Update group 000012 which, at delivery, reduces the open order value and increases the open delivery value. Assume that one item in the order is not relevant for delivery. In this case, the system automatically determines Update group 000018 for this item. Update group 000018 increases the open delivery value for the order item. The system uses the confirmed quantity of delivery-relevant schedule lines to update the order value.

The update group determines the rules for updating the statistical data.

For more information, you can read online help of LO-LIS. (Logistics information system.)

Update groups are used, in order to group different key figures from (e.g) SD module to the structures in Logistics Information System.

What happens is when ever an event take place, e.g billing document raised, it can be customized to populate the LIS Structure (kind of a data warehouse) with key data you are looking for to report and evaluate. This update can be made either immediately or periodically.

The credit relevant data is updated into an information structure, where it is accessed and updated. Thus each automatic credit control must be assigned an update group. The system allows for no update, and update group 000012, 000015 and 000018.

The difference between the three update groups is as follows:

- Update group 000012

Sales order: Increases the open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines

Delivery: Reduces the open order value from delivery-relevant schedule lines and increases the open delivery value

Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value and increases the open billing document value

Financial accounting document: Reduces the open billing document value and increases open items

So, 000012 checks open order values + open delivery values + due amount after billing

- Update group 000015

Delivery: Increases the open delivery value and increases the open billing document value

Financial accounting document: Reduces the open billing document value and increases open items\

So, 000015 checks open delivery values + due amount after billing.

- Update group 000018

Sales order: Increases the open delivery value

Billing document: Reduces the open delivery value and increases the open billing document value.

Financial accounting document: Reduces the open billing document value and increases open items. The decision on which update group to use is based upon the business requirements; however, update group 000012 is thorough and used in most businesses.

So, 000018 checks open order value + due amount after billing.

And if the amount exceeds than the credit limit available in FD32 status screen the it blocks the sales order accordingly.

Update group is the crucial for the updation of open order, delivery and item values. Basically, there will be a updation in SIS structures i.e. for open order in S066 and open delivery & open billing in S067. The update groups will correspondingly update the info structures mentioned above

Thanks & Regards
