Hi John,
That is totally depends updon how you would like to manage the scenario.
I could suggest one:
- You can manage it by creating dummy material & taking same code in every transaction of that vendor
- If track has to maintain you can use it as 'Batch managed'
- If material also returnable then return same batch to vendor & if consumable then consume it after each goods receipt.

Configurable article in sap retail?

Hello Experts,
Can we have configurable articles in sap retail?
Please tell me your opinions..
Thanks

Take an example of computer where we have different model of computer lets say
xyz 7000 black
xyz 7000 blue
xyz 7000 white (three variants of xyz 7000 series laptop)
customer can build his laptop from the list of components by having picking different options of hardware such as processor, ram, cds hard drive etc.
Once customer selected the desired components and production order will get generated and the delivery happen to the customer..
the above scenario we want to do it thru article master..(mm41) not thru standard material master.
thanks

Material type WERT is correct.
In Material type maintenance you can control at all if a store will be value only inventroy managmenet or both.
Further in the Site master WB02, you can control it on MC level.

Follow-Up and Replacement Articles in SAP Retail

Hi everybody,
Iu2019m using SAP Retail and I need to maintain Follow-Up and Replacement Articles.
Iu2019ve created the Follow-Up Categories in the customizing and Iu2019ve assigned replacement article to the original article in transaction WRFFUART.
Does anyone know how the subsequent process works? If I create a Purchase Order or a Sales Order to the original article, does the system automatically replace it by the replacement Article? Iu2019ve tested this but there was no substitution.
Thanks in advance,
SN

Hi Barbara,
I am analysing the functions for Follow-Up and Replacement Articles in SAP Retail ECC 6.0 Ehp. 3. I created Substitution profiles (SPRO: Logistics u2013 General -> Material Master -> Retail-Specific Settings -> Settings for Follow-Up/Replacement Material -> Maintain Follow-Up Categories) and assigned replacement article to the original article in transaction (WRFFUART). I also activated Substitution Processing and Start Replacement logic in Background (SPRO: Logistics u2013 General -> Substitution Processing -> Activate/Process Substitution Processing).
I tested the process steps you posted (ME21N, VL10B, WSUBST_WORKLIST). There was no automatically substitution after creating the outbound delivery. And the transaction WSUBST_WORKLIST just shows u201CNo data available for selectionu201D.
I analysed the application and found the table WSUBST_WORKLIST. It handles the entries for substitutions. It was empty. When I fill the table manually with data and run the WSUBST_WORKLIST the outbound delivery and the purchase order have a new position with the follow-up article but the original article is still there, unchanged.
Why did the substitution not start automatically in background and why is the original article still in the purchase order and outbound delivery?
It is also interesting, that the material quantity changed. The purchase order includes five units of the original article and the substituted article has a quantity of eight. I guess the reason is a rounding value for procurement.
The ERP 2005 documentation on help.sap.com ([Assigning Follow-Up and Replacement Articles ERP 2005|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/a2/7c936660dc4da09a3a1d08ee7eeca2/frameset.htm]) describes a conversation factor for the units of measure of the original article and substitution article for each assignment. In the ECC 6.0 documentation ([Assigning Follow-Up and Replacement Articles ECC 6.0|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a2/7c936660dc4da09a3a1d08ee7eeca2/frameset.htm]) this is missing. In the system I also could not find any type of conversation factor for Follow-Up and Replacement Articles.
Is this option not available in ECC 6.0 or where can I find it?

Handling of Hazardous Articles in SAP Retail

Hi SAP Retail Experts
Would like to know the porcess in SAP to configure the hazardous goods management in Article master whereby we can accomodate the dangerous goods data from and external system into Article Master.

Dear Pratim
I don't catch your question. Check e.g. SAP Environment, Health, and Safety Management (SAP EHS Management)
1.) the term "Dangerous Goods" and Hazard substance" is not the same
2.) In EHS classic you can get external data for DG use using ALE; same is true for hazardous substance master
I have no experience with SAP Retail. But according to SAP help: This is a SAP ECC/ERP system in a "special" mode (you have activated an "industry specific" function). So you need to prepare EHS customizing

Issue with stock qty of component in Structured Articles in SAP BI

Dear Experts,
We are extracting stock in BI through SAP standard data source. We have used 2lis_03_bx and 2lis_03_bf data sources. We are facing issue with stock data validation due to structure articles (pre-pack) available in SAP source system.
We have stock of structure articles available at DC in source system. When we extract this information in BI, this article gets split into its components automatically. Due to which stock of components articles gets increased with huge amounts.
To analysis it in further detail, we have created below scenario:
Article Document Number: 4900000827
Article Number (Pre-pack): 300000082901
Article Number (Component): 300000082002
Stock of pre- pack article at this article document number: 174 pc
Stock of component article at this article document number: 348 pc (due to splitting of pre-pack article) + 151 (its own stock movement). Total stock for this article is 499. But actually total stock for this article should be 151 only.
As per our Business requirement, pre-pack article should not be split into its components. And stock in BI should be totally in sync with SAP stock.
I kindly request you to suggest the solution to rectify the same.
Thanks in advance.

Unable to archive warehouse view of an article in SAP Retail

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want to archive the warehouse view of a material which i extended to a wrong warehouse by mistake .
The basic check would be first to discontinue the article by WSE1,, i could not do that because it was having open PO and sales stock. How to close them. I tried closing PO by MASS by putting a lock indicator as "l". Still its not helping me out.
Anyone please let me know how to close all the POs and sales stock.
Regards.
SUMI

It is archiving object MM_MATNR to archive a material master in total or just a certain org level of the material. No other archiving object needed for this.
...i had performed SARA using MM-MATNR and had selected the object table as MLGN.
I am lost. I do archiving for many years but do not know where you can select a MLGN object .
After executing it successfully with no error in the job log
errors in the joblog refer to errors in the job. logical errors are stored in the spool file to the job (preconditioned you have selected to get a log)
> I had not performed the delete operation by SARA.
> why do i still see the MLGN enteries for the article.
writing an archive does not remove entries from your table, it just duplicates the info, from the table into an archive.
the delete step vefrifies if the archive can be accessed and is readable and then loops thru the archive and deletes the corresponding records from the database tables.

How to sale article in SAP UPC code and same UOM-

Hi,
I come across one scenario deal below:-
   I have an apple article A ( Fresh) price -$10 /kg sale at first day
Same apple I want to sale on Price -$7.00/kg as it is not fresh. (Second Day) . In the rack I have fresh Apple A which has price of $10/kg
How we handle the same in POS   and SAP retails.
Is price list works for same ? If its please elaborate.
Looking for your response ASAP. Thanks - Sanjay Rahangdale

Hi Sanjay,
       You can easily have dual MRP for the Same Article/Same UPC, Only when the validity periods are different so that you can use VKP0 with different prices for different validity and send it to POS using COND_A or even WBBDLD(which takes VKP0 as a default condition type).You can send the price change but there will be only one price that can be even stored at the POS level for a given date/time in the store.
However i am afraid you can use the above approach as you are intending to sell the same article/same UPC at the same time in the store with different prices which according to me may not be achieveable from an SAP Retail standard perspective as Central ERP system will not have visibility of how many articles are fresh and how many are not.
Depending on the features of POS,there may be an option to print price embedded barcodes with a reduced price and tag it - like pack all those article that are not fresh and sell it a reduced price, or manually override the price at the POS for those articles that are not fresh(for which there must be a supervisor intervention at the POS depending on the authorisation limit set at the POS system)
Hope it helps
BR,
Aram.

User exit; Article master SAP Retail for MVKE table?

Is there a user exit in SAP Retail for the MVKE table?
The articles is maintained in a third-party system and are transferred to SAP via Idoc. For sales sets, article category = 10, these requires a item category = ERLA in SAP (MVKE-MTPOS) so that the sales set "explodes" in the sales order.
The third-party system doesn't maintain sales org-spesific data for the articles, therefor we use one ref.article for all article groups. And because sales sets exits in many article groups, we found it difficult to have ref.articles for all of these article groups.
Also the article type is also "normal",so the only way to differentiate the sales sets, are via article category. But since SAP has no link between article category and item category in customizing (as far as I know), I wonder if there is a user-exit to set the item category based on the article category?

Hello Sonika,
WE_PLU is generally used along with the POS interface.
Please check this for more details
