Choice of supplier in SAP Retail

Dear Retail experts,
I am new to SAP Retail, but I am sure someone out there has a quick answer to the following question.
A store has a need of an article. If there is stock in the DC it should be supplied from there; otherwise, the store shall order from the vendor. Such process doesnu2019t exist in standard SAP (probably in SAP APO), but maybe thereu2019s such process in SAP Retail?
TIA
Raf

On the Article Master Logistics Store view, maintain the setting for Supply Source.  4 = Stock Transfer Before Standard. 
This works in conjunction with ATP checking.
Store Order: Document Categories with Sourcing Check
The document category controls the conversion of store order IDocs into follow-on documents. If a sourcing check is to be carried out for the document category, the system determines a source of supply, and if it finds an internal source of supply, it also performs further checks on the goods, to ensure that they are available, for example.
The following are examples of document categories without a sourcing check:
Warehouse order with single availability check
The system checks availability for an internal source of supply according to ATP logic. If the available quantity is insufficient, the system searches for an external source of supply (the availability check cannot be carried out for an external source). The availability check is only carried out for a single internal source of supply.

  • Product Costing in SAP Retail Solution

    Hi experts
    I have a question about product costing in SAP Retail (SAP ECC 6.0).
    In material master data (Tr. MM43 - Tr. MM42) Product Costing view for Logistics:CD sheet is activated.
    Although, for Logistics:Store sheet is not activated.
    In customizing, we have tried to activate the Product Costing view for Logistics:Store sheet, but there no standard dynpro to use it. So, we have some doubts:
    - Do we have to create customer (Z) dynpros in order to activate Product Costing view for Logistics:Store sheet?
    - Does SAP allows Product Costing functionality in SAP Retail solution?
    If both answers are YES, i have another doubt:
    - In our business scenario, the store is supplied by the Distribution Center. So, does it make sense to run product costing for
    a articles in a Store?
    We think it makes sense to apply product costing functionality in Distribution center. In order to analyze deviations from
    Standard costs to real costs.  But we are not sure about Stores.
    Does anyone have experience in customizing product costing functionality for a SAP retail in a Logistics:Store?
    Thank you for your time

    hi
    Product hierarchy in R3 is termed as Merchandise category hierarchy in SAP IS retail
    But in R3 Product hierarchy is not used much but Merchandise category hierarchy that is termed as MCH  is a basic thing reqd for defining master data that is article master data which is nothing but material master in R3
    As i said Product hierarchy  levels are available in R3 also but not much used
    Merchandise category hierarchy levels is most commonly used in SAP IS retail
    What we call material group in R3 is same as Merchandise category in SAP IS retail and material in R3 is article in Retail
    Merchandise category hierarchy levels
    Say a Retail mall has merchandise items
    Under merchandise there are 2 divisions Food and non food
    Under nonfood say there are 2 divisions  say hardware and apparel
    Under apparel there   2 divisions  say Mens wear and ladies wear
    Under mens wear you have t shirts,shirts and pants etc
    Here t shirts,shirts and pants etc are individual articles
    Menswear  and ladies wear are material groups
    Hardware and apparel are merchandise hierarchy level 1
    Food and non food merchandise hierarchy level 2
    Retail mall is merchandise hierarchy level 3
    like that hierarchy levels are commonly defined and used as a must to have efficient master data in SAP retail and the maximum no of hierarchy to have ideally is 6 apart from Merchandise category
    In our example we have defined three levels
    The same functionality can be used as product hierarchy in R3 also but doesnt been put in to use much
    In Retail the no of articles a store is going to manage to be will be huge hence this sort of seggregation is needed there must

  • 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?

  • 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

  • How can I generate IDOC(WPUUMS) from XML file in POSDM or in SAP Retail

    Hallo Retail expert,
                                I have following scenario,
    I have Retail Store who send me their daily sales report through Wincor Nixdorf Point of sale. There i am using standard POSLOG2 to SEEBURGER(its a middleware which act as Converter) xml format and then i post that data first in POSDM and then with BAPI i transfer or book that data to SAP Retail.
    Above is the one scenario which is working.
    This is the Second scenario.......
    I have some external Retail store, they dont have Wincor Nixdorf POS, so they send me their Sales Report through SEEBURGER(its a middle Hardware which act as Converter) and SEEBURGER Convert that Sales data to XML format. My question is....
    How can i upload or Convert a XML File into IDOC (WPUUMS)in SAP or in POSDM?
    any new suggestion are welcome.
    Thank you all in advance.
    regards,
    Niel

    Hi,
    1. To get the required XML Schema, use transaction code WE60 to go to the IDoc documentation -> enter the IDoc type you want to use (WPUUMS01). Flag control and data record. Then display the XSD by choosing Documentation -> XML Schema from the menue bar. Now you can donwload the XSD for usage in Seeburger.
    2. Create your mapping from the POS format into the IDoc XML format in Seeburger.
    3. Create an XML File Port in ERP or POS DM using transaction code WE21.
    3. To inbound the XML file from Seeburger into POS DM or SAP Retail Seeburger should trigger the function module EDI_DATA_INCOMING. Parameters for this FM are the Pathname to the XML file and the Portname you just created. Based on the port name the FM can derive the port type xml and the data will be handled as XML data.

  • Posting a Goods Movement in SAP Retail Store

    In SAP Retail Store, under Inventory Management>Goods Movement>Other Movement, when entering articles and quantities, if you want to use multiple Bus. trans. or Reason for Movmt. values, you have to post them separately.  This requires you to post, exit out and then go back in and post again, etc. 
    Is there a way to post multiple Bus. trans. or Reason for Movmt. values on the same screen?

    Hi,
    Is that stock is tagged with sales order ?
    How you have HU in non HU managed location ??
    If you want to move stock then use t code HU02 and create HU in non HU manged location mentioning destination location as HU managed .

        Business is posting goods movement using SAP retail store ITS. The document gets posted in SAP successfully but storage location is not coming correct for a movement type. We have checked the configuration and it is fine. We are not able to replicate the issue in test systems.
    Kindly help us on how we can able to find a cause of this issue.
    Thanks for you help.
    Regards,

    Hi John,
    Retail Store Application is desinged in such a way that for the movement type,the default storage location for the destination plant is automatically taken.
    But you can modify the code as per your requirments by implementing the given BAdI.
    CALL METHOD exit_gr_field->CHECK_INPUT_GR_item
    Modify the field for stroage location W_UMLGO .
    I hope this helps.

  • Prepack vs Display in SAP retail

    Hi guys,
    I am still struggling to understand the difference between prepack and Display in SAP retail.
    Anyone has a good understanding of that?
    Cheers
    Julien

    Hi
    Prepack:
    Variant from different generic articles belongs to same merchandise category grouped together as component and created with article category 11.
    Prepacks are used in Fashion retail where merchant wants to order specific variants (color and size) rather than ordering all the variants from generic articles.
    Vendor ship prepack articles and received in DC as prepack articles whereas it will be sold at component level in Store.
    Display 
    Variant from different generic articles belongs to different merchandise category grouped together as component and created with article category 12.
    Vendor ship as display articles, stocks are maintained at DC as display articles but sold in store at component level.
    Display articles are used in FMCG sectors mostly and to some extend it is used in Fashion as well. These articles generally kept at billing counters and customer will pick the components as they like it.

  • Archiving Objects in SAP Retail (transaction SARA)

    Hi All.
    I have problem with archiving object WS_ACSITE in SAP RETAIL.(Transaction SARA)
    When I write data archiving, message appeard is that archive sessions are created.
    When I try to execute the next step: delete - the archive sessions are not appearing in the dialog box where we should choose the archive sessions for deletion.
    The above situation appear when I am working with plants existing in system for a while, but when I've create a new one and try to go through all SARA's steps it is OK, and master date of sites are deleted (e.g WB03).
    Can anyone help me?
    The second question is u2013 can I restore deleted sites to system?
    thanks in advance.
    Marcin

    Hello,
    Check below information for Material master record required to archive:
    1. Is there any stocks in the plant for which MMR need s to be archived? (Stock = Zero)
    2. Is there any open items at FI accounting? (There should be no pending bills or parked documents)
    3. Is there any pending delivery for this material? (there should be no open deliveries)
    If all the above criteria is met then set the deletion flag and indicator for perticular Plant you are looking for.
    Note: Make sure that non of the other plants which is sharing this MMR is marked for deletion flag / indicatory
    Then execute Archive run for archiving object MM_MATNR.
    Note: All the required configuration is done for archiving object MM_MATNR.
    Hope this will help you to archive MMR only for your required plant.
    -Thanks,
