Information System in logistics is used as tool for monitoring,

controlling & planning the business processes.
It can be used to analyzing different data depending on
requirements
Many modules have different Information Structures and LIS reports
for example Material Management, Sales and Distribution, Plant
Maintenance, Production etc.
In Plant Maintenance we have following PM IS reports:

1. MCI1 Object Class

2. MCI2 Manufacturer

3. MCI3 Location
4. MCI4 Planner Group
5. MCI5 Damage Analysis
6. MCI6 Object Statistics
7. MCI8 Cost Analysis
8. MCIS UserDefined Analysis

All of these PMIS reports have different analysis criterion which can
be used in decision making for business processes.
In case you need any different analysis tool other than MCI1 MCI7
reports, you may configure a new Info Structure, which can be used
for analysis through MCIS User Defined analysis report
These user defined Info Structure can be copied from standard Info
Structure or by adding the key figures required in analysis for
example In cost analysis Planned Cost, Actual Cost, Number of
Orders & Notifications created with material costs and labor cost are
taken as Key Figures which can be defined while creating Info
Structure
Info Structure requires frequent updating of data, which can be
defined through update rules defined through Info Structure in
Tcode MC26,this can be below units
Day
Week
Month
Posting Period

In case Manual update required for Statistical Data in Info Structure, it

can be done by TCode OLPM PMIS: Statistical Update of Info Structures,
where we have to update the data in Version 000, in case there are other
versions in Info Structure then data in those Info Structure should be
copied in version 000 , can be done from TCode OLIX Copy/Delete
versions of an Info Structures
User Defined Info Structure can be used for analysis through TCode
MCIS, by selecting the Info Structure and passing Key figures in
Selection Parameter
These Info Structure runs on LIS Structures which considers current
costs/ Current Exchange Rates for providing data

Comparing PMIS data with Order data Currency Conversion and Cost
Differences

There may be requirement that we need to do analysis for cost and we

compare the cost data in MCIS/ MCI8 & IW38/ IW39 Reports.

The data will be same in case reports being executed in Statistical Currency,
if your statistical currency is USD than the data will be same in MCIS and
IW38 or in technical words PMIS and PMCO will give same data related to
costs for example Estimated Costs, Plan / Actual Cost, Material & Labor
costs etc.
In case the Object Currency for PM Orders is different from USD, for
example if Object Currency is EUR and we need to analyze the report in
EUR as currency then there may be differences in Costs data in PMIS and
PMCO Tables.

Examples:
Order Costs are shown as below screenshot:

In Object Currency EUR

In Controlling Area Currency USD, which is same as Statistical Currency

USD

Above Conversion is based on exchange rate maintained i.e. 1 USD =

0.90744 USD, described below:
Contract Services is 303.05 USD = 275 EUR 303.05 * 0.90744
Internal Labor is 793.44 USD = 720 EUR 793.44 * 0.90744
Purchased Material is 60.61 USD = 55 EUR 60.61 * 0.90744
Stock Material is 44.73 USD = 40.59 EUR 44.73 * 0.90744

There is a difference in EUR cost which should be 40.49 EUR but Order
shows 34.72 EUR.
The reason for this difference is that Order cost get updated at the time of
goods issue, this cost is fetched from the inventory or the Price / Unit in
material master.
Material Master has USD Price = 44.73 USD and EUR Price = 34.72 EUR
Approx. below screenshot for reference

The EUR rate is picked in Maintenance Orders from Material master as

above

PMCO Table data for Actual cost

Analyzing the same case in MCI8 Report Cost Analysis Report,

working on S115 Info Structure

Case 1 Analysis in Statistical Currency USD

Above image shows that cost figures are same as PMCO & IW33 Order

Cost Tab as MCI8 works on Statistical Currency.

Case 2 Analysis in Other Currency, Taking Object Currency EUR

There are differences in Cost Figures in Object Currency EUR :

Fields

MCI8Report

ActualCost

1090.59

StorageMaterialCost

40.59

The reason for difference is explained earlier, as Material Master has EUR
Cost / Unit as 34.72 EUR but Currency conversion as per USD price in
Material Master gives 40.59 EUR 44.73 * 0.90744

Plant Maintenance Order gets the Material Cost in cost tab from Material
Master depending on analysis currency selected i.e.
Object Currency
Controlling Area Currency

SAP Notes useful for analyzing the PMIS Reports

1. 112841Steps to Regenerate PMCO & PMIS files

2. 1945736 Why the results are different between IW39/IW38 and
MCI8

3. 2113046 Estimated costs at value category level not in PMIS

4. 2145101 Incorrect value in field IAKOSPLAN total planned cost

5. 180047Cost Distribution to Time Axis and in PMIS/SMIS
