Statistics Parameters (tdsta0100m000)

Use this session to:

  • Set the parameters of the Statistics module to the specific requirements of a company.
  • Define the levels on which the statistics are updated.

You can change the selected setup later. The session will update the new levels once you have changed the setup. If a complete order/schedule history is available, you can get a full update through the Update Statistics (tdsta2250m000) session. When you make changes, the new levels for historical data are also updated.

The available levels represent the most detailed information that can be printed or displayed.

Field Information

Effective Date

The date and time the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

Parent BP Levels to Update

The way in which parent business partner data is updated when statistical data is updated in the Update Statistics (tdsta2250m000) session.

Allowed values

Individual Customer

LN updates the statistics for the customer that is indicated on the order, even if a parent customer is linked to the business partner on the order. Parent statistics are not kept.

Single Level Parent

LN updates the statistics for the parent customer that is linked to the order. If no parent customer is linked to the business partner on the order, LN uses the customer on the order (child) as the default.

Multi Level Parent

This value is similar to the Single Level Parent. In addition, LN checks the customer file and determines whether the parent customer is a child of another customer. If so, LN also updates the statistics for the next parent customer. The resulting tree structure enables you to post order lines to more than one customer.

Both Single Level

Statistics are updated at a single level for the child and the parent. If the business partner of the order doesn’t have a parent, statistics are only updated for the child. As a result, this method is a combination of the Individual Customer method and the Single Level Parent method.

Both Multi Level

Statistics are updated for child and all parents. As a result, this method is a combination of the Individual Customer method and the Multi Level Parent method.

Base Price for Gross Profit Calculation

Define how the gross profit percentage is calculated and displayed in statistics.

Allowed values

Standard Cost

The gross profit percentage is calculated as follows:


((TO - CO) ÷ CO) * 100%

Order Price

The gross profit percentage is calculated as follows:

	
((TO - CO) ÷ TO) * 100%
  • TO - Turnover
  • CO - Costs
Period Table

The period table determines the various periods of a year, including the period number, start date, and end date that are used in statistics.

You can define period tables in the Period Tables (tcccp0160m000) session.

Archiving Company

The archive company where statistical information is stored during archiving. This information is archived through the Archive/Delete Statistics (tdsta2250m100) session.

Detailed Discount Specification

This check box determines whether detailed discounts must be recorded for purchase discounts, sales discounts, rebates, and commissions.

If this check box is selected, the budgets for the discounts that are entered in the Budgets (tdsta2603m000) session can be sorted by discount code in the Sort Budget Data by Discount Type (tdsta2105m000) session. These divided budgets are registered in the statistics.

If this check box is cleared, discounts, commissions, and rebates will not be sorted by discount code.

Discount Code for Order Discount

If the Detailed Discount Specification check box is selected, the discount amounts of orders that do not contain a discount code, are accumulated to the discount code that is specified in this field. The discount amount for order lines that contain a discount code, are accumulated to the discount code of the order line.

If this field is left empty, and the Print detailed discounts check box is selected when printing the statistical results in the Print Statistics (tdsta2400m000) session, the total discount amount that is printed can be lower than the discount amount that is printed if the Print detailed discounts check box is cleared. The reason for this is that the discount amount of order lines without a discount code is not taken into account if this field is empty.

Note: You can only define this field if the Detailed Discount Specification check box is selected.
Discount Code for Promotional Discount

The promotional discounts that result from applied promotions are accumulated to the discount code specified in this field.

Note: 
  • You can only define this field if the Detailed Discount Specification check box is selected.
  • Premiums are stored in statistics as normal sales order lines.

Item for Customized Items

If a customized item is not derived from a standard item, which you can define in the Derived-from Item field of the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, you must define a standard item code to store the statistical data. This code can be used in the statistics to cumulate any customized item that is not derived from a standard item.

If the Derived-from Item field is filled for the customized item in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, the customized item data is stored in the statistics under the standard item.

Item for Standard Items

If the Actual Data check box is selected when updating the statistics in the Update Statistics (tdsta2250m000) session, LN does not retrieve the item data from the sales order history or purchase order history sessions, but from the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. However, if item data is available in the history, but the item does not exist anymore in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, LN retrieves the actual data for the item that is entered in the current field from the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.
