Retail POS Data

Hi
We have a requirement where in we need to transfer data from Retail POS system into BW cubes. I read in help portal that POS Inbound Processing Engine (PIPE) is used to pull the data from POS database.
1. Is PIPE available readily in BI system or do we need to install any pack or software?
2. Do we need to make any customization (SPRO)settings in BI?
3. Do we need to maintain any RFC connection?
Your help is really appreciated

Hi Venkat
Interaction with POS means :-
1. SAP IS Retail - exchanges data with POS - ( th'o POS Outbound )
i.e All the master data from IS Retail gets downloaded to POS. For E.g - Article data - like EAN, Price, Tax, Merchandise Category Data etc.
2. Similarly - Once the day end happens - POS Inbound can be configured to send data Back into SAP Retail ( For Relevant Postings ) - For e.g - Aggregated Sales Data, payment List etc .
Both 1 & 2 are Mandatory Activities for Data Exchange to happen.
Every Store - will have Partner Profiles ( POS Outbound & POS Inbound )
Further details are available @ http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/0f/7af634b576bc4ee10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm

How can we collect the contract manufacturers (OEM) POS data in SAP

We are looking for best practices using SAP to collect, store and analyse point of sale information in the following scenarions.
Any ideas.
1. Our company ---> Sells to Distributors ---> Who in turn sells it to contract manufacturers or OEMs --> Who then sell it to end customer/trade customers
How can we get the POS data from trade customers who buy from the contract manufacturers. What is the best practice here for electronics industry?
Thanks Muthu.

I am not sure about your requirement, but yet.. Did you check UserSessionData object? It encompasses all the session variables.

Difference between Oracle ORDM Product and Retail POS Suite

Can someone please tell me if the Oracle ORDM Product and the Retail POS Suite by Oracle is the same or different.
Regards,
Akshatha

Thanks for the reply.
So, ORDM is a datawarehouse model which could be used for the analytics purpose like generating reports on the organisation's performance, having key performance indicators to measure up the metrics.
And, Oracle Retail PoS Suite is a Point of Sale Application which can be used to carry out the activities related to point of sale.
Please let me know if my understanding is appropriate.
Thanks in Advance for the help.

POS Data Management

Hi folks,
first I have to say that I'm a newbie in SAP but I have to try out a scenario with a connection from SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) to SAP POS Data Management (I think included in BW 3.5). Task is to transfer POS Data, stored in a XML-file, into the transaction database in the PIPE (POS Inbound Processing Engine).
My questions:
- Is there a special POS workbench in SAP BW?
- How can I write the data into the transaction database?
- Is there more information in the web about SAP POS Data Management?

Josef

Multiple EANs per article in Basic Data Maintenance (Retail Master Data)

Hi,
Does anyone know how to prevent users from entering an EAN twice for an article?
Example: EAN 123456789 for article AAA with unit of measure PC cannot be used for the same article AAA with unit of measure CS.
Thanks.

Dear Winnie,
Yes....this is possible and this is pre-requisite condition in Retail Master Data(transacion code MM41)
Go to transaction code OMT4 and change following message number from warning to error.
Application: M3
Message No: 347
Message Text: EAN already used for unit of measure & of this article
If this message is not exist, insert the same.
Bye,

Extraction of POS data to BW without using POS DM

Hi there.
Does anyone know a way of extracting POS data from the Triquestra Infinity POS system directly into BW without using POS DM. I'm at a site where they are just using POS as a front-end and transferring most data into SAP ECC but not all data. For the data that's not going into ECC, we want to extract it into BW - mainly around Cashier Statistics. However POS DM won't be configured. I thought we caould send IDocs to BW but then not sure what to do with these IDocs once in BW.
Anyone has any thoughts?
Andrew.

Hi,
You can use Xi. Or if there is a relational database system of the POS system, you can use dbconnect or udconnect to connect the POS system. But if you dont use POS DM it will be difficult to map the data. You may be required you create and map infocubes from scratch.

Hi,
- /POSDW/MON0 is the transaction code to your POS Workbech screen.
- Here you input posting date range and search for all available transactions.
- If there are any transactions in workbench which are not processed yet, then they will be shown in grey
- drill down to your site level detail and double click on Sales movement folder > then you can see all individual receipts on your right hand side window.
- from here select all rows and hit Execute button, this will push transactions from POS workbench to your delta queue.
- if there are none available in POS Workbench, then you have to process transactions from your FTP server or XI server to push to POS Workbench first. Then follow the above procedure.
- Before any of the above steps, you must make sure that you have master data loaded for 0RPA_MEAN info object.

Handling of Down payments / advance payments retail POS interface

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there´s a best practice to handle down payments with POS interface?
thanks in advance
Mariana

Hi Mariana,
Pl use the following link:
help.sap.com/bp_retailv1470/documentation/EN/Store%20Business%20Offline%20EPOS_EN_PRES_V147.ppt
IDOC for down payment is WPUTAB01.
Entries will be as follows:
If a customer is making a down payment of Rs.1000/-
Cash a/c DR 1000/-
Customer or Site CR(Retail Stores if u dont maintain individual customers) 1000/-
When sales are closed say for example Rs.10000/-
Cash a/c DR Rs.9000/-
Customer or Site DR Rs.1000/-
Sales CR Rs.10000/-
In SAP u need to create a Special G/L with Indicator A and this special G/L will be assigned to your main a/c in Tcode OBXR.
F-29 Post Customer Down Payment ,F-32 Clear Customer ,F-39 Clear Customer Down Payment are the FICO transactions which will be used. Pl contact yr FICO
consultant for further details.
Hope this helps you.

Mani

IS Retail: Vendor Rebate based on Retail POS Sales

We are a Retailer with vendor rebate agreements. We run SAP IS-Retail on ECC 5.0. Some vendor rebate agreements are based on purchase volume, some are based on POS sales volume. We have been successful configuring the purchase-based vendor rebates.
However, we're having some difficulty determining how to set up the sales-based vendor rebate agreements. Has anyone done this successfully? Can you summarize the steps?
Thanks,

Hi,
The standard SAP rebates functionality is based on MM-Purchasing and the business volume is done on Purchase Order / Goods Receipt or Invoice.
Even we had a lot of trouble calculating rebates on Sales.
SAP has a Partner named Vistex and they have a add on solution called Rebates and Chargebacks which addresses a number of different types of rebates eg Chargebacks (Rebates on sales), price proteaction etc.
You can have a look at this functionality.

IS Retail POS Financial Implications

Dear Gurus,
I just want to know when POS System is integrated with SAP real time,how do you do the correction entry in FI for ex if the user by mistake in payment method.
Thanks
Anant

Thanks Anit
For your reply
As we are using Real time Integration with POS in FI,So i just need to know the details how should be correct the entries if any mistake happen at POS level For ex cashier at POS made a sell of 1000 INR (500 in Cash & rest through credit Card) but by mistake he has registered all the sell of 1000 INR through cash.
Currently the system is not real time ,data transfer happen at the end of the day ,through this procedure thay got the time to correct the entries in intermediate oracle server.but now we are making the real time integration without the the use of XI.
So i just need to know ,how the correction happens ,when the system is on line.
It will be nice if you can provide me any document relevant to that.
Any thing relevant to above issue is highly appreciated.
Regards
Anant
