ERP to Retail

Hi All,
We r into Furniture 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.
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.

Hi Sudeep
As we are using SAP Retail for furniture sale, I can only tell abt Retail
The SAP Retail Store component offers a web-based user interface that is tailored to the requirements of stores.
It makes the store-related retail functions available to all your store associates in a form that is easy to use and understand.
The interface combines the intuitive guidance of a web browser with the powerful transactions of the R/3 system trimmed to the needs of the stores. As a result, even part-time staff with little training can quickly start working with the system.

  • Do I add BI_CONT to ERP?

    Dear Experts
    I've been given the task to install BI on our demo system (IT scenario Enterprise Reporting, Query, and Analysis). Everything is hosted on a single machine that consist of one AS ABAP instance with ERP ECC6 (Retail) and one JAVA instance with EP and EPC incl. GRC AC. The JAVA side is pretty clear. I need to add usage type BI Java.
    The ABAP side is more unclear. Do I add the BI_CONT to the ERP instance? Or do I have an option in SAPInst to install a fresh ABAP instanace, and then add BI_CONT?
    If both options are possible, which one is to prefer? If the latter, where in SAPInst do I find the choise to add a new ABAP instance?
    The system is running on Windows Server 2003 x64 with SQL Server 2005.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    As per My understanding you are having ERP (Retail) i.e normal ERP system converted to IS (Industry Specific) so, you can not use that system.
    Better to install a new instance i.e nw2004s and go for BI_CONT add-on that will be better in your senario.

  • 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

  • SAP E-commerce for ERP with SAP Retail back-end

    Hi,
    does anyone implemeted an E-commerce solution with a SAP Retail backend system?
    Our dubt is if durig order entry E-commerce application consider the  product variant grid (like in VA01) or not.
    We found that this function is supported with an AFS back-end, but we would like to know if it is available also with a retail system.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi,
    while we have quite a few implementatinos with E-Commerce and SAP Retail backend, the specific grid functionality you have seen in AFS is not supported with Retail backend. Hence, most customers enhance the standard product offering at that point, catering for e.g. drop down list boxes with style/color/size selection. In case you're only selling "normal" retail products (individual SKUs), the standard product works fine.
    Thanks

  • Free goods in Retail

    Hi
    These are scenario for Beverage business- mostly they have complicated promotion on free gifts which I think SAP ERP SD cannot cover it. I also check Promotion in retail and found out, if it's discount - it can handled but for free goods - there is similar to ERP Sales. If anyone can take a look at the below case and share with me whether IS-Retail can handle it or any idea how to handle it as now I can only think of custom development.
    This is pretty much general scenario in Thailand, not only beverage but wholesales & distribution but I don't think SAP ERP can handle it smoothly.
    1. Buy soda water size 10 oz regardless of soda taste (coke, orange, grape) for 1 pack (1 pack consist of 24 bottles) then get 1 bottle free.
    2. Buy soda water size 10 oz regardless of soda taste for 1 pack, then get 1 bottle free - maximum at 2 sets.
    3. Buy soda water either size 10 oz or 15 oz for 1 pack, get 1 bottle of 10 oz free
    4. Buy soda water regardless of soda taste as set i.e. for every 36 packs of combine size 10 oz, 15 oz and 1 lt - get free items of 10 oz/15 oz for 2 bottles per pack and free item of 1lt for 1 bottle per pack
    5. Similar to 4 with additional condition that 1 soda taste must be more than 50%  - for example, it must be coke at least 50%
    6. Sales quota - Buy 1 pack, get 1 bottle free - maximum 100 bottles for each customer
    Please kindly share your experience or ideas. Thank you

    HI,
    1. Use txn VBK1 to create a bonus buy condition
    2. In SAP Retail, we can create % Off Conditions, Absolute Off Conditions as standard promotion conditions, Special Price Conditions.
    3. You can also can create Bonus Buy: Price, Bonus Buy: % Discount, Bonus Buy: Absolute Discount and Bonus Buy: Free Goods conditions.
    For Example: Buy 4 Get 1 Free Article is a Bonus Buy condition. for this try In VBK1, use Discount Type BB04 to configure bonus buy.

  • 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

    Boa tarde!

Ao tentar enviar para a SEFAZ, recebo a mensagem abaixo. No monitor do GRC a NF-e não aparece. Bom, não é um billing document (ou documento de faturamento), mas um documento criado em MM para retorno de mercadoria ao fornecedor (documento criado com ref. ao RE) e o tipo de NF foi criado com referência ao E4. Há alguma coisa faltando para que a NF seja enviada ao GRC? Veja detalhes abaixo:

    Exmo Sr:. Da Rós;
       Segue abaixo respostas:
    Bom dia José Aguilar,
    porém o meu problema com a atualização dos status persiste
    Pergunta: Agora quando a NF-e é emitida e transferida para o sistema mensagerio você obtem um SCSSTAT = 0 na J1BNFE?
    Resposta: Não. Esta é exatamente a causa de todas as minhas perguntas neste fórum.
    ...temos para auxiliar os amigos do fórum no entendimento correto da questão, pois se trata de cenário único (envolve 3 sistemas) e com particularidades específicas, como servidor Unix, cliente Retail, sem PI nem GRC, etc.
    Para o ERP este passo de saída não faz tanta distinção ser o GRC ou não, ele irá chamar a /XNFE/NFE_CREATE para o GRC ou a J_1BNFE_XML_OUT para mensageria de terceiros.
    Próximos passos:
    - Qual o resultado do debug? O que descobriu?
    Resposta: No Debug descobri a solução para o meu problema antigo, as mensagens do log; porém não conseguí ainda achar exatamente  o ponto onde acontece o flag do campo SCSSTAT, o mesmo passa por diversas estruturas, variáveis e ti's, tentei forçar o valor no campo porém quando passa por outras consistências e funções volta a zerar o conteúdo. Agora estou debugando o grupo de funções j_1b_nfe e a j1b1, pois a verdade é que preciso flegar este campo no momento da criação da nf-e, pois os usuários terão acesso ao j1bnfe só para verificar status, pois o volume de notas é muito grande e devem já ser criadas com a determinação do número e o envio para o programa que repassará o arquivo ao Synchro.
    - Os status mudaram?
    Resposta: Não.
    Atenciosamente, Fernando Da Rós
    Agradeço pela compreensão, disposição, educação e grande paciência com que o senhor vem reportando meus questionamentos.
    Grato.

  • 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.

  • POS DM: Stock updates in SAP Retail

    Hi!
    We are implementing SAP Retail (ERP 6.0 EHP4 stack 3), SAP PI (Netweaver PI 7.1 SP 8) and SAP BW (NetWeaver 7.0 ehp1 stack 4, incl BI content 704, SP 3 ) for a client. Their POS system is a 3rd party system, i.e. not SAP POS, and it does not contain any stock information.
    This issue concerns stock updates in SAP Retail using POS DM:
    On the busiest day of year, my client has 347 000 POS transactions in total from all stores, and in one year they have 30 mill POS transactions. My client requires that SAP will provide them with near-realtime information on stock availability, as this is an important way of providing good customer service. The stock information should be available in SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP Retail Store, as well as standard SAP gui transaction. In addition, the webshop (external system) should have as accurate information about stock as possible, at least it should be updated once every 30 minutes.
    My client also has a requirement to be able to create purchase orders during office hours (store opening hours), based on MRP runs. This means they must have as accurate stock levels as possible for running MRP. Stock levels are also used in ATP checks, when deciding whether to pick customer orders from store inventory/stock or to create purchase requisitions.
    All these requirements have led us to believe that the best way to solve this, is alternative A:
    - to update stock continuously during office hours, using WPUBON to create material documents, one for each POS transaction. Sales and tenders will be updated in SAP Retail using WPUUMS and WPUTAB.
    Some challenges this will create:
    a)     It will create 347 000 WPUBONs on the busiest day of year, all within 10-12 open hours.
    b)     If we have same amount of material docs and FI docs, they will use 30% of the available 8 digits within their number ranges per year.
    c)     The idocs will fail if there are article locks simultaneously. (However, this can be handled by updating products only at night time (using batch jobs) and using batch job to handle failed idocs)
    Edited by: Øystein Emhjellen on Jan 4, 2010 2:15 PM

    Alternative B:
    - we have considered to use WPUUMS and WPUTAB, updating stock levels only once a day. The solution we then must use for taking into account actual sales data is described in SAP Note 1088886 - Using the interface for online stock queries. If we choose this, we need to check during the day for each article any sales, to reduce stock in reporting/screens, ATP checks and in MRP runs. We must also create a program to check for articles sold before sending stock data to webshop (external system). (As we do not know which articles have been sold, we must create our own version of RFC - /POSDW/SALES_QUERY_RFC, to enable that the article number does not have to be specified. Rather, the article numbers (and sold quantities) have to be returned to ERP based on what was actually sold.)
    We consider this alternative more risky, due to the need for changing behaviour of standard programs for MRP and ATP check. It will also create a number of RFC calls between SAP ECC and SAP BW.
    My questions on this issue are:
    i)     Will alternative A be preferrable, if hardware requirements are handled?
    ii)     Do you see any additional challenges related to alternative A?
    iii)     Will alternative B be adviceable, concerning the program changes/enhancements involved?
    iv)     Are there standard implementations of SAP ECC, that includes the use of RFC - /POSDW/SALES_QUERY_RFC. I.e. standard programs in SAP ECC that uses the information from this RFC call?
    Thanks for any advice !
    Best regards,

  • 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?

  • Creation of Plant in IS-Retail

    Dear all,
    We have IS-RETAIL system operative and we would like to create a new company code and plant which is not into IS-Retail .
    We need to create a new plant which should work for ERP and not for IS-Retail.
    I have changed the site profile to empty to make it as Plant ,but through which way i should create a plant ,through IMG or WB01
    Please advice the appropriate method to create a plant by copying existing plant.
    Tnx
    Zubair

    Hi
    Do it with WB01. Check what steps you need to do with IMG. After, with an export/import you could transfer data between systems. Please, see these notes
    SAP Note 737239 - Site export/import as of SAP R/3 Retail Release 46C
    SAP Note 1835984 - Transactions WBTE and WBTI are obsolete
    and related notes
