ECC 5.0 to IS-Retail

Hi All,
We r into Interior Products manufacturing inductry & currently r using SAP R/3 ECC 5.0 version.
Now, We are in a process to open around 200 showrooms or retail outlets for our products & with time the numbers
of the stores will keep on growing.
Now i want to know that should we configure all these as plants / depots in existing sap config.
Or, should we go for SAP IS Retail package.
I mean what will be more helpfull in the longrun and its advantages and implications on the current envioroment.
Can anybody provide their valuable inputs on this query.

ALso if i change my existing ECC system to Retail what will be the implications on the current envioroment.
Can i get a Link / PPT/ article relating to this.

  • SAP ECC 6.0 retail

    Hello
    I am trying to find how to install SAP ECC 6.0 retail
    I am quite confused. . On one hand I can see there is note for IDES (1028572 - IDES ERP 2005 ECC 6.0 SR2 for Retail
    Industry) on the other SAP Note 1242830 - SAP Best Practices for Retail US V1.603
    Is this the same product (leaving apart IDES has an company data).
    People on forum are discussing about an switch "transaction sfw5" some also mention an switch in IMG which I do not find
    I am quite confused.  On ECC system I have EA-RETAIL but then why "SAP Best Practices for Retail "
    Could someone help me in regards to "retail"?
    Thank you a lot

    The switch is not the way to do it anymore in the most recent SAP ECC versions:
    - Retail Switch (up to release mySAP ERP2004)
    - the business functions set for SAP Retail [ISR_RETAIL] (since release SAP ERP 6.0) via trx. SWF5
    Seeing the date of your post, the last option will probably be the appropriate one.

  • ERP IDES with Retail

    Hello
    We have ERP 6.0 IDES installed for our internal training. Now, we would like to have Retail IDES as well.
    My question is following:
    Is it possible to combine those two solution into one server (one central system with one instance) ?
    Or maybe I should install it on separate machine.
    If installation on one server is possible, then could anybody advise me the solution (high level description) how to combine it?
    I have Export DVDs downloaded from SAP MarketPlace

  • Event controlled product substitution case in SAP IS Retail

    Requirement: Event controlled product substitution case
    SAP System: SAP ECC 6.0 with IS Retail and without F&R and APO
    To check for the available stock of original material and replace it with a FU/Replacement material if the stock is zero or less than the ordered quantity (in a STO).
    We have done the following to achieve this:
    1.     SAP IMG: Maintain Follow up Categories
    Created a Follow up category number: 01
    FU Category: Replacement material
    Priority and Validity: checked
    Check cycles: No check
    2.     Using T code: WRFFUART, we have assigned a replacement material to a original material and provided validity period with priority 01.
    Issue: While creating a STO or at the time of Delivery creation, the original material is not getting replaced with the substitution material (depending on the stock situation)

    Hi,
    is this issue still open?
    Does the replacement article have stock?
    Have you activated the substitution processing?
    In the article substitution - application-specific control profile how have you maintained the parameter Quantity Control for Replacement Articles - Event Controlled? There will no quantity from the replacement product ordered when you use option 'Original Article with Available Quantity; If 0: Substitution Article with full quantity').
    Kind regards,
    Rainer

  • Vendor Consignment stock or vendor managed stock

    Dear All,
    My client wants to manage vendor consignment stock.
    Vendor will be given a area and vendor will keep the stock in his area. Based on the plan he will supply the stock.
    the GR for rawmaterials will be made on the consumption report given by the production person. This activity will happen next day only. i will do the GR only to the quantity consumed.
    for example if i consumed 100 qty, i will do GR only for 100 and vendor will issue invoice for 100. But when the vendor issue the stock, he will raise a excise invoice based on which i have to take excise credit. I want to know how to do the same.
    secondly, i take credit for 100 qty, but actual consumption is 95 only, how do i reverse the 5 only excise invoice.
    regards
    ranga

    No, it is possible to sell from vendor consignment stock directly and I have done it in ECC 6.0 (not IS-retail).
    - Pls refer the note 607604.
    - Establish the 'stock determination rule' in MM -> Inventory Management -> Stock Determination.
    - You need to assign it to the material (MRP3 view) or assign it to item-ategory.
    - DONOT mark the special stock indicator in item-category used in SD (e.g. TAN) with 'K'..I did this mistake and wasted some time. If you do, it will ask you to populate the Vendor field in the Delivery which is not available and you may get stuck up because of that.
    This should make it work.
    Pls award points if you find this information useful.

  • No BOM Explosion in Planning Order

    Hello Folks,
    i have a problem with the BOM explosion at creating a planning order.
    Our BOMs are created without plant number and are enterprise wide available.
    If we create new BOM's with direct plant association via CS01, the BOM explosion in creating a planning order is possible.
    I've already searched in Customizing and Transactions and didn't find anything to make a BOM explosion possible with an enterprise BOM.
    Do you have any idea how it is possible to do that? We don't want to create new BOMs because it is too much workload to create all new BOMs. We use a SAP ECC 6.0 with IS-Retail.
    Hope you can help me.

    I think that it is a must to have the BOM defined for plant to be exploded in a planned order.
    Nevertheless, you don't need to create it a gain for each plant, you can instead just do a plant assignment (CS07).

  • Check when saving Logistics Invoice Verification (MRMBADI_INVOICE_SAVE)

    Hi everybody, we have an ECC 6.0. with IS-Retail platform, and we have noticed that during Logistics Invoice Verification process (Tx MIRO), it´s possible to make mistakes by choosing a vendor, then picking an invoice from another vendor, with the particularity that both invoices have the same delivery note number as PO reference (same vendor´s delivery note number / GOHEAD-LFSNR). The system doesn´t check if PO reference corresponds with correct vendor while saving the document.
    Our question for you is if there is a Customizing way to activate a validation which allow us to solve mistakes describe before???
    We found BAdI method IF_EX_MRM_INVOICE_UPDATE PROCESS_AT_SAVE which is processed when saving an invoice, the method calls are encapsulated in the function module MRMBADI_INVOICE_SAVE which is responsible for saving invoices.
    If there isn´t a Customizing way to activate a check like that, the second question we have for you is if you have experience with this BAdI??? Does it work with this kind of validation??? We need to ensure that PO reference corresponds to correct vendor (GOHEAD-LIFNR / RF02K-LIFNR).
    Thanks in advanced for your help,
    Regards,
    Miyuki Quiroz.

    Hi,
    Duplicate invoice check will fulfill your requirement. System will check is the invoice exists with same invoice date, reference and company code.
    Follow the path SPRO -- IMG -- MM -- LIV -- Incoming Invoice -- Set Check for Duplicate Invoices
    Also tick check box for "check double invoice" in vendor master accounting data.
    In case you want amount also as one of the checking parameters, then you need to go for validation. No standard setting is allowed for that.

  • SAP for Wholesale trading

    Hi
    what is the best solution for business, where Wholesale purchasing is done and Wholesale selling (keeping small margins)
    if wholesale purchasing is done and both Whole sale selling is done and Retail selling is done - SAP IS Retail ?
    what is the industry standard, and what SAPproducts or solutions are used in Wholesale Industry
    thanks
    rao

    Dear Rao,
    to decide if you are going to use ECC 6.0 with activated Retail Switch (SAP Retail ) or not, in my experience you have to take a close look at the processes that are supposed to be supported.
    You mentioned Retail selling: are we talking about a Retail business where you connect POS systems to the ERP system and sell to consumers (more or less) always on the same price? This would be an indicator to use SAP Retail, as only this offers a POS Interface to download data (articles, prices, promotions..) to a POS system and also can process POS data (sales data, financial postings). But this just one out of several possible indicators.
    A good way to start this process evaluation is actually to evaluate what kind of customers you have: known customer, for whom you need to calculate the sales prices within every sales transcation or consumers only. What processes concerning selling to customers need to be supported
    You also might want to consider if you need one or more of the functionalities that only SAP Retail offers: e.g. Retail Promotion, Allocation table, the afore mentioned POS Interface, listing and assortment management. There also some limitations using  SAP Retail compared with ECC 6.0 w/o  Retail Switch which also need to taken into consideration. Please refer for more information to the Retail Wiki . In section "Special Topics" you find those two quite useful documents which will give you very detailled information:
    SAP Retail Technology Facts and Retail Switch
    Consequences of Activating the BF Set SAP Retail
