Create Characterstics Variants in SAP Retail

Hi All,
I have created characterstic profile and assigned it to MC in SAP Retail with different characterstics and values.Im creating records and sending the records to SAP Retail from MDM using XI. For generic generic when im creating a record and trying to post the idoc (msg type ARTMAS), it gives and error message " No Characterstics could be found for Generic Article", and the idoc doesn't get posted. Following are the fields in Retail i have  mapped to the source system:MDM for creating variants.
Msg Type: ARTMAS04
Segment: E1BPE1AUSPRT
Field: MATERIAL,CHAR_NAME,CHAR_VALUE.
Apart from this i have all the mandatory fields for basic data.
I'd like to know if im missing on passing some other field value in order to create variants, characterstics for generic type articles.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Axel,
Thanks for a quick reply. I have set the relevany indicator 2 only. See Im able to create variants when im creating article in ECC MM41 TC. But i have integrated Retail with MDM and im creating records in MDM and exporting data to Retail ECC. Its during this process im getting the error and not when im cretaing directly in Retail ECC..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Characteristics in the material master (SAP Retail)

    Hi everybody,
    Iu2019m using SAP Retail and I need to maintain characteristics in the material master. These characteristics are used to maintain additional information like u201Caccessoriesu201D and u201Cguaranteeu201D (Iu2019m not working with generic articles and variants).
    Each characteristic need to be maintained in different languages:
    Example: Guarantee u2013 In Portuguese the value should be u201C2 anosu201D and in English the value should be u201C2 yearsu201D. 
    There are no predefined values for these characteristics. We use additional values and the user can maintain a free text, but it should be different in Portuguese and in English.
    One solution I can use is to create each Characteristic in English and in Portuguese, and then maintain different values for each one. Iu2019m trying to find a better solution because I have numerous Characteristics.
    Does anyone know another way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    SN

    Hi SN,
    this requirement sounds a little bit strange.
    Question 1: This field 'Guarantee' is  valid for all articles or for some articles only ( e.g merchandise categroy electronics)
    Question 2: How do you name the Characteristic? is it Years or Ano or guarantee?
    Question 3: using additional vlaues will kick out the value check. So it is like a free text entry. Of course this makes no sense, because you can also add 'g hello' als a valid value.
    Why you choose this way ?
    Question 4: What is the issue using fixed values? I guess the guarantee values are limited at all.
    Question 5: Why you don't use a MARA append field and hide it on unwished mechandise categories. Thats easier to handle and a value check can be implemented.  So you are able to create a field with a unit in different languages
    e.g.    Guarantee          Years
    if you logon in english.
    regards
    Björn

  • How to create Material variant

    Dear all,
    I created configurable material and assigned class and BOM and object dependencies as well as configurable profile its working fine.
    I need to create material variant so i assigned configurable material to material variant in MRP 3 view then selected the characterstics as per requirement. BOM also i assigned the configurable material. But at the time planning its not planning as per requirement also i need to consume the stock as per configuration at the time of sales order delivery.
    What are all steps to be followed, where i did mistake pls correct me.
    Regards,
    S.Suresh.

    Dear Mohan,
    Thanks for your response.
    I am very clear  in configurable material  we can use only sales order. I did in my projects no issues.
    But material variant i have doubt, I tried once am not able get what i suppose to get.
    I read the sap help.From that what i understood  we can create PIR for material variant and can make stock thorugh the  order it will consume only whatever we selected from MRP 3 configurable material.
    If i make sales order for configurable material if the material variant and configurable material properties are same it will pick the stock. (For that in sales order item category (mat variant action) to be set).
    1.  Configure the configurable material in the sales order.
           2.      On the value assignment screen, you can already check whether material variants match the material configuration (see Variant Matching on the Value Assignment Screen).
    For a material to be replaced by the material variant in the sales order, the configuration of both materials must match exactly.
           3.      When you have configured the material, exit the configuration editor.
           4.      Depending on the settings in Customizing, the material is either replaced directly by the material variant, or a message is displayed indicating that a suitable material variant has been found.
           5.      If the material is replaced, the material variant is entered in the order item.
    Individual or collective requirements can be created for the material variant. Pricing is also carried out for the material variant, provided that you have not defined the configurable material as a pricing reference material for the material variant.
    So i have doubt on material variant only if  wrong pls correct.
    Regards,
    S.Suresh.

  • How can I create a variant in CAT2 for all users?

    I am using SAP version 4.6c
    In the CAT2 screen I have a variant "Basic settings" if I change this it affects all users.
    I want to create another variant, so that the users can choose between them.
    But when I create another, it is only avilable for my own user. Can somebody tell me how to deploy it to all users?
    Thanks,
    /Finn

    Hi,
    I dont know about the CATS system. But when ur user selects the varaint, he should remove his own id and execute the query. This should display all the variants existing for that program. Then he can select the required variant.
    The user can also save this varaint under his own ID
    Hope it helps.

  • How to create a variant to a report from another program at run time

    Hi experts,
                   when i am using FM  :  /OSP/REPORT_CREATE_VARIANT to create a report variant from a program then i am getting  an error 'For object /OSP/ERPNR , number range interval 01 does not exist ', how should i avoid it or can any one help me out to create a report variant from another program at run time with the results of the program.so that i can execute the report from here with this variant

    If i understand you,
    - You can use a FM like [RS_CREATE_VARIANT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=rs_create_variant+&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] to create a variant and then use it in the [SUBMIT|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/096d67543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm] statement USING SELECTION-SET.
    - But you may also use SUBMIT with WITH parameters which doesnt require variant creation and with much less programming efforts.
    - You can mix the two solutions also.
    So what is you actual requirement, also look at some documentation like [ Scheduling a Job: Full-Control Method|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/096ce5543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

  • How to create a variant in VA05?

    Hi,
      How can we create a variant in VA05 to make it available in the display variant list?do we need any authorization?
    Thanks,
    Rakesh.

    Display variants can be administered in the result list, not at the selection screen. Do not mix up 'display variants' with normal variants which are a mere set of input-parameters.
    To gain access to the 'administraion' and 'save' functions of the display variant, you need to have Parameter ID SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN on your user with value 'A'.

  • How to Create a Variant in WebDynpro Java apllication

    Hello-
    we have a requirement where we require to create a Variant for some of the Webdynpro application.
    Now that is there any functionality which allows to do so , there are various reports and how will i populate the variant data , does it require backend table and FM for pulling those data..
    How will I save the variant data and access them.
    Regards,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
             I don't think there is a ready made variant functionality in WD Java like in SAP R/3.  But we can have a work around. As you thought, we have to create a BAPI/RFC and custom table(s) to store the data. So initially, you have to call this RFC and get the data from the tables and then you have to set main RFC/BAPI and   then execute it. Add an additional button to save the variant, onAction of the button update the execute the variant RFC and save the current data in custom table.

  • 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 .
