The LIS can be used to evaluate Equipment’s, Functional Locations, Notifications and Order. The classic ERP implementation of the LIS has some specifics + LIS operates on redundant data. Every business transaction not only updates the business documents, but also pre-aggregated data in LIS. Performance suffers, locking conflicts might occur, and memory is wasted + LIS operates on pre-aggregated data. It is not possible to drill down into the individual business documents. Multi-dimensional reporting (aka Slicing and dicing) is only possible for dimensions provided in the pre-aggregated data + LIS uses an old UI technology making multi-dimensional reporting clumsy + LIS only supports material numbers with up to 30 characters, Future plant maintenance analytics will be based on HANA, CDS views aggregating transactional data dynamically, and powerful analytical Uls for multi- dimensional reporting. With this it will be possible to replace the current LIS. You will be able to use classic LIS and the future plant maintenance specific analytics in parallel for some time as long as you do not switch off the update of the LIS tables(Funetionality available in SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511 delivery but not considered as future technology). Once future plant maintenance analytics supports all your analytics requirements, you can switch off the update of the LIS tables. Once you have switched off updating LIS tables, you will notice the following improvement + Improved performance of many transactions (fewer tables to update, fewer locking conflicts) + Less memory requiredList for SAP SMHANA 1610 FPSI a y Simplification Business Process related information Required and Recommended Action(s) Invest reasonably in the LIS. The LIS is intended as an interim solution, which can be used until PM analytics in HANA has the required scope. This also allows you to migrate your business processes step by step from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
