We are trying to gain some insight as to how we can deal with the large volume of data that is generated with PennDOTu2019s reclassification of costs in SAP (plant maintenance) and any impact this may have on system performance. Specifically, PennDOTu2019s current process requires settlement to 3 cost objects; the SAP standard is settlement to 2 cost objects. There are approximately 60 million line item transactions created each year by this process.
