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

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

This is basically your call depending on what data the message type is intended to carry and the use. ARTMAS should be the choice in your case.

How to implement value only articles in SAP retail.

Hi
I have gone through the sap material on Value only materials, but i am not able to get hold of how value only materials would be implemented in SAP retail. Should we use WERT material type to start with or is there any other way to implement the value only materials.
Any material or links leading to step by step procedure to implement value only materials would be highly appreciated.

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.

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.

Article Deletion in SAP Retail

What is the process for deleting an article and then archiving the article in SAP Retail ECC6.0? So far what I have is to:
1. Go to MM46 and find layouts for article
2. Go to WLWBN and Delete Assignments
3. Go to Assortment in WSP6 and delist from DC and stores.
4. Stop replenishment and procurement using MM42 go to Logistics -- General Control Param -- Article Status -- status block article
5. Go to ME15 and Mark Info Recs for deletion
6. WRF_DIS_SEL - Put in Article and then click "Client_Wide Article Discontinuation" to get green button. Select All - discontinue
I need to know what is wrong with the above process, or what do I need to add to the above process? The issue is that we will go into SARA and try to delete the article and the process ends up not being able to see the article for deletion. We have no activity against the article and no inventory for that article. So there must be something I am missing here.

Probably a bit too late, but check this information:

Hi, what's the impact of creating sites through configuration in Sap retail System?

Hi Experts,
Business requirement is to have a production plant created through config in retail system and then ship the finished product to DC using STO's and Dc will be created as master data in retail system. please share your experience on business impact on this integartion of production plant and site in Retail?
Thanks in Advance !

Hi Govind,
In SAP Retail system, the options for creating plant from configuration is disabled. Means in SPRO screen, the execute button is not there for these options. So you will not be able to create plant through configuration in SAP Retail system where the retail switch is activated.
All the Retail related features will not support that plants.
To the best of my knowledge, Site created in Retail system using WB01 transactions can be used for production cycle to implement manufacturing scenario. Using article to article stock transfer you can transfer the stock of Finished Goods articles to trading articles and so on.
Various processes are available for this.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Amit

SAP Retail Project - Assembly Order configuration

Dear all,
We are into SAP Retail Project, as per the process we have to generate an assembly order to our internal workshop to assemble the product.
this assembly order has to generate from sales order. Articles required to assembly will be maintained in workshop only.
we are not implementing Production module, we are trying to create a purchase requisition from sales order. but the BOM main items purchase requisition is not getting generated and there is no communication between sales order and workshop regarding Assembly process.
I am expecting an expert advice, with config steps to map this process into sap. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Raghu ram.

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for the useful link you shared.
But I am looking for specific configuration and master data set up required for store order creation scenario where " Warehouse stock is created if stock exists else third party order is created"
This option is activated in POS interface inbound profile for store order control by selecting document categorydefault as "A - Warehouse order if stock exists, otherwise third-party order"
Just wanted to understand how this option works by requiring what kind of configuration and master data settings.
Any further suggestions will be really helpful.

SAP Retail : Article Master Data Transfer using LSMW/ARTMAS05: EAN Error

Hi Bjorn Panter,
I want to thank you for providing very informative articles on the Master Data of ERP Retail.
We are currently loading articles to SAP from legacy and use your articles on ERP Retail as part of our knowledge warehouse.
We have encountered an error which has stumped our conversion.
We are getting an M3 535 error stating that "First specify the main EAN for the unit EA". We are using LSMW (IDOC Method, Basic Type ARTMAS05).
Our MARM segments have generic and variants. The UPC and UPC category (set to UC) are filled for the variants and blank in the segment containing the generic.
Our MEAN segments contain variants only with the UPC and UPC category (set to UC) filled.
Our UC EAN category is configured with a blank check digit algorithm and a number range of 12 digits. We are loading our variants with EANs that are 12 digits.
When debugged IDOC_INPUT_ARTMAS, I noticed that :
In routine MARM_UEBERGEBEN (in function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT), this code clears our MARMX indicators :
   LOOP AT UNITSOFMEASURE.
    ART_DATA_EXISTS = 'X'.    "JH/05.01.00/4.6C Entkopplung der MALG
    IF UNITSOFMEASURE-FUNCTION NE C_MSGFN_D.   ->>>> this checks if our function code is 003 (which is a delete).
*     TMFIELDRES aufbauen
      CLEAR UNITSOFMEASUREX.                   ->>>> Since we are doing a create, it clears the indicators in unitsofmeasureX
To bypass this clear, I debugged the program and overlayed the indicators and marked UPC and UPC category as 'X'. This worked and we were able to post our IDOC successfully... THe UPCs showed in the MARM and MEAN tables.
However, knowing that there are a lot of Retail companies loading articles into their SAP system, it would seem odd that no one has reported this as a bug or no one has posted this issue in SDN. I could not find any OSS note related to this issue either.
Can you please help us figure out what is wrong ? Have you encountered this error in the past ? Is there something in config that we should check ? Should we look at fields in our segments ?
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
please open an OSS customer message.
Put in a valid IDOC ARTMAS number with this error and open your system.
I guess either it is a bug in IODC structure or you found a bug in software.
My colleages will take care.

Björn

Replenishment in SAP Retail - Article with multiple UOM/EAN

Dear all,
I am using SAP Retail. I have an article with multiple unit of measurement as well as multiple EAN. A good example of this article will be canned soft drinks. It comes in pack size of each, 6, 12, 24. I have only one article number for this soft drink but I maintained multiple UOM and EAN for this article.
When I run auto-replenishment, I can only run it based on one of the packed size (fixed it as the default ordering unit).
Is it possible to run auto-replenishment for the various packed size?
Best Regards
Junwen

Hi,
One suggestion. You can buy it in UOM bottle, minimum qty: 6 bottle. Multiples: Your vendor that decide the package size. When you do the GR then set the UOM of the size package, set a lot size calculation (each 6 units) or rounding profile.
Regards,
Eduardo
