Business Process Maps/ Process Flows for Retail Operations

Dear All,
I am looking for Business Process Maps/ Process Flows for Retail Operations like forecasting, inter store transfers, ASN, Procurement, Allocation etc.
Kindly provide me with a link, docs, PPts etc.
Appreciation would be in the form of points.
Regards,
Jack Silverz

Hi Jack
Seeing as you only got one reply - I'm jumping in with my 2-peneth.
Seldom have I found process content which sufficiently explains both manual and automated processes in a format which is sufficiently simple to engage discussion (between project teams and business representatives). Is there a way to strike the required balance - simplicity for the sake of engagement; yet rich enough to record SAP dependencies, system requirements and so forth.
An answer in my opinion is [here|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007]. (Honest account - I work for Nimbus. But you don't have to take my word for it. Check out our case studies if you like. This approach is being adopted by several strategic SAP accounts several of which are listed [here|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007]).
What might partly address your requirement is the [APQC Process Classification Framework|http://www.apqc.org/portal/apqc/site/?path=/research/pcf/index.html] . We took this framework as a starting point for building a model company process map. I cannot claim that it is Retail specific, but we have quite a few retail customers who have adopted Control 2007 and also several supply chain optimization projects which we have delivered.
If this is of interest - we provide a web hosted demonstration environment where you can explore the APQC process content I mentioned above. You can contact me through [SAP EcoHub|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007] for more details
Kind regards, Nigel

How to Map SAP B1 for retail industry

hi every one,
we r going to implement SAP B1 for a retail company which trades on shoes and bags. they have one Head office and 12 ware houses they simply buy finished goods from vendors and pack in their in house and sell it to customers. no production , MRP , how we can map it into SAP B1. iam thinking of using citixsys Retail Add one is it possible ? any other solutions?
regards,
rajan

If they have store fronts (actual physical retail stores) then you will need the CitiXsys Addon. Otherwise, you can handle this out of the box in B1.

Business Process Flows for Oracle Cloud

Hi,
Where can I find the Business Process/ Model (BPM) flows for Oracle Cloud (Financials, HCM, Sales, Service, Taleo)?
Anything similar to Retail Reference Model from Oracle BPA Suite (Business Process Architect) would be fine, as long as it is relevant to Oracle Cloud.
I am looking for Level 0 (Oracle Cloud) and Level 1 (Financials, HCM, Sales, Service, Taleo) process flows (Level 2 & 3 optional).
Thanks,
Franklin

I found the required information in Fusion Public Help:

Single inspection lot for multiple operation

Hi
I am creating a process order having 10 operation. the 3,5 and 8 are quality inspection (inprocess inspection) & last is PP operation that is for final confirmation.
The control key in quality operations are pi02 and for production operation are pi03.
i am using insp type 03 in material master
Curently only one inspection lot is trigerring for all operations hence while RR, all operation are appearing (Quality & production).
User needs diffirent inspection lots for different quality operation.
How can i triggere lots per QC operation??
I would be vary thankful if i get it.
AYK

Hi
Std will create one inspection lot for 1 process order
and RR will show all operations which is related to inspection
ask PP guy that cotrol indicator Pi03 - insp. char to be uncheck
then it will not show those operations not relevant for inspection
is't fullfill your requirement
why your business needs individual inspection lot for each operation?
give info
Thanks

Correct cubes for retail implementation

Hi guys,
We are designing a set of Merchandise reports for a retail client and currently carrying out the technical analysis ahead of the build. There is an 0RT InfoArea which has many cubes aligned to our report requirements. However, there is a note displayed with the name that this InfoArea is OBSOLETE and suggests to u2018seeu2019 the 0TI InfoArea (Trade Industries).
Could you please advice if the 0RT InfoArea is being d and there is a recommendation by SAP to use the 0TI InfoArea going forward instead.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Info cubes to use in Retail in Merchandise Mgmt are :
0RT_C01
0RT_C02
0RT_C03
0RT_C04
0RT_C05
0RT_C35 to 0RT_C41
Check the standard BI contents in the metadata repository. Check if the info area is 0RT or 0TI. Even if the infoarea must have changed the Info providers , info sources, DTPs , info packages provided by SAP for Retail Operations wouldnt change to a large extent.
Cheers
Umesh

Business Process Flow for old records

A customer has asked us to decommission the Business Process Flow for a particular security role.
I have done this and all is well for new records.
Unfortunately the Process Bar still appears for old Leads. I think I can understand the behaviour: if you change the process, the old records will still show process bar that existed at the time they were created. This includes removing it presumably.
My question is, can I remove the legacy instances of the process bar either through the interface or by code?

Update: I created a command line to update the stageid and processid to NULL.
These fields are now clear, however when I open an affected record the form pops up an error message:
Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: Cannot insert duplicate key.Detail:

I can see that the Process Bar is still showing.
Is there something else I would need to do?

Best Practices for ASAP Inputs - As-Is Business Process Mapping

I am new to the SAP world and my company is in the early phases of implementation. I am trying to prepare the "as-is" business process maps for the Project Preparation and Business Blueprint phases and I am looking for some best practices. I've been told that we don't want them to go too deep but are there best practices and/or examples that give more information on what we should be capturing and the format.
I have searched the forums, WIKI, ASAP documentation, and other areas but have not found much at this level of detail. I have reviewed the [SAP BPM Methodology|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPBPX/BPM+Methodology] but again I am looking for more detail if anyone can direct me to that.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
You can try to prepare a word document for each of your As-Is processes first before going to As-Is Process Design in a flowchart.
The word document can have 7 sections -
The first section can include Name of the Process Owner, Designation, Process Responsibility, User Department(s) involved, Module Name and a Document number for reference.
The second section can include Process Definition details - Name of the major process, Name of the minor process, Name of the sub process and a Process ID for future reference.
The third section can be titled as Inputs - this contains details of - Input, Vendor for the input, Type of Input (Data / Activity / Process), Category of Input (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The fourth section can be Process Details. Here you can write the process in detail.
The fifth section to contain outputs of the process, customer to whom these outputs are sent, type of output (report / approval / plan / request / email / fax), Category of Output (Vital / Essential / Desirable) and Mode of Information (Hard / Soft Copy).
The sixth section can be Issues / Pain Areas in this process - Issue Description, Remarks, Expectations, Priority (High / Medium / Low)
The seventh section can be expected reports in future out of this process for internal and external reporting.
Hope this helps your question.

SAP business process maps for mySAP ECC6.0?

Any idea how we can get the SAP business process maps for mySAP ECC6.0? Is this imbedded in Solution Manager?
Thanks,
Phani

Hello Phani,
I suppose you are looking for the solution maps for mySAP ERP (which contains SAP ECC as a component). These maps are not contained in the SAP Solution Manager, but they are delivered with the SAP Solution Composer, an offline PC tool which allows you to browse and pre-scope your own solution (evaluating your solution). The tool itself including the latest solution map content is always available for download at the SAP Service Marketplace:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/s-composer">http://service.sap.com/s-composer</a>
You can also view the mySAP ERP - as part of the cross-industry maps - right here:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000338980&">http://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000338980&</a>
The SAP Solution Manager would then come into play for configuring the respective processes (implementing you solution).
Best regards,

Minimum documents required to finish Sales Process for retail Business

Hello Everybody
This is my 1st post in the forum as per the Rules and Regulations i have searched for the solution may be i was not able to reach to my Answer.
I have been assigned to a project where my client also has Reatail Outlets where the sales process is done mostly.
My client requirement is, they want to have minimum sales process as there will be many walk-in customers which will not allow them to have complete cycle.
My question is do we need to have sales order-delivery-PGI-Billing can we skip one or two document or is there any other way for Retail Business.
Note: Dear Moderators if my question is not in proper forum please guide me.
Thanks
Riyaz Malik

Hi
The better option is to use IS-Retail, but you need that your system is installed as an IS-Retail. If it's the case, then you can use the invoice FP (see it in VOFA). SAP gives you the IDOC WPUUMS to create this invoice and the PGI (movements 251/252). You need to have create the plant as a POS (point of sale) with tcode WB01/02/03, and in tab 'POS' mantain the data that determines the pricing procedure. The materials, is better to mantain as articles, ie, with tcodes MM41/42/43 instead MM01/02/03, and more details, but of course you need that your system will be an IS-R. If your system is an IS-R see SM30 for view V_TWPIV. So, when your process the IDOC you create the invoice and process the PGI (well, the movements in the profile).
I hope this helps you

Multiple integration flows for different business operations

Hi - I have following business requirement & need ur advice.
There are different business operations (read as INSERT/DELETE/QUERY) to performed on same business object (read as CUSTOMER). In order to develop these integration use case I can have following three approaches.
*1. Single Requestor ABCS & Single Provider ABCS -* Develop single integration flow & implement logic for the business operations in them. That means, Develop single Requestor ABCS for all business operations, which will call the EBS and again EBS would call same Provider ABCS. Both Requestor & Provider ABCS would implement business logic for all business operations required.
*2. Single Requestor ABCS & Multiple Provider ABCS -* In this case the flows for all business operations starts with single point service. That means, Develop single Requestor ABCS for all business operations, which will call the EBS and again EBS would call different Provider ABCS based on the business operations. The Requestor ABCS would implement business logic for all business operations required. There would be different ABCS service for different business operations.
*3. Multiple Requestor ABCS & Multiple Provider ABCS -* In this case the completely independent flows are to be developed for all business operations. Independent Requestor ABCS and independent Provider ABCS. Off course if there some common business logic for all or some business operations, those can be implemented as common service & can used across all independent flows for different business operations.
Please do suggest what approach would be best one to pick up. Or it is case to case basis. In case yes, please suggest the criteria on which the decision can be taken.
Thanks In Advance
Priyadarshi

Hi Pryadarshi,
AIA recommends having an ABCS for each Verb and Noun combination for a specific Business Process, i.e. CreateCustomerABCS and UpdateCustomerABCS. Therefore, #3 would be the preferred approach. This is to allow for maximum flexibility. However, you may have a process that demands to model the integration as #2.
The decision would depend on how the participating application services are modeled and the granularity of individual service call. For example, a ProcessCustomer invocation at the source end may call CreateCustomer provider service.

Problems with pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i

Hi,
I was trying to use the pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i. Problem is that the manual does not specify how the inputs need to be connected to this operator.
Following is what I went through -
I created a mapping table operator and a mapping dimension operator and connected these two. Then i created a pre-mapping process operator selecting the LTRIM function. Further I connected one of the table attributes to this pre-mapping operator as input and connected the output of this pre-mapping operator to the appropriate dimension operator attribute.
On performing Validate, following error message was flashed -
VLD-2451 : Illegal connection to pre-mapping process operator
I am trying to learn how to use OWB 9i from the manual. So my interpretation of the use of the pre-mapping process operator may be wrong.
In any case kindly help,
Thanks,
Saju

Pre-mapping process is use to perform some operations preceding to mapping operation itself.
For example, if your mapping is designed to incrementally append data to table for the definite time interval (witch is a parameter of the map operation) you might want to perform the table data cleanup for that period. That will allow for reload data number of time.
In this case you have to define the procedure witch perform cleanup and than include the call to that procedure as a pre-mapping process.
Other examples of pre- and post mapping process is disabling referential integrity before loading and re-enabling them after loading.
Anyway, OWB documentation has clear definition for pre- and post-mapping processes.
