How to Map SAP B1 for retail industry

hi every one,
we r going to implement SAP B1 for a retail company which trades on shoes and bags. they have one Head office and 12 ware houses they simply buy finished goods from vendors and pack in their in house and sell it to customers. no production , MRP , how we can map it into SAP B1. iam thinking of using citixsys Retail Add one is it possible ? any other solutions?
regards,
rajan

If they have store fronts (actual physical retail stores) then you will need the CitiXsys Addon. Otherwise, you can handle this out of the box in B1.

Hi All,
I have just done my SAP SD module and i am interested in knowing the scope of SAP SD in retail industry. Is there any retailing company in India which has implemented SAP or is interested in implementing.
Kindly throw some light on this .

Hi Subahashini
As far as retail companies are concerned they are more into IS-Retail
which is nothing but Industry solutions for retail
This is similar to SD but more focussed on retail industry needs

Business Process Maps/ Process Flows for Retail Operations

Dear All,
I am looking for Business Process Maps/ Process Flows for Retail Operations like forecasting, inter store transfers, ASN, Procurement, Allocation etc.
Kindly provide me with a link, docs, PPts etc.
Appreciation would be in the form of points.
Regards,
Jack Silverz

Hi Jack
Seeing as you only got one reply - I'm jumping in with my 2-peneth.
Seldom have I found process content which sufficiently explains both manual and automated processes in a format which is sufficiently simple to engage discussion (between project teams and business representatives). Is there a way to strike the required balance - simplicity for the sake of engagement; yet rich enough to record SAP dependencies, system requirements and so forth.
An answer in my opinion is [here|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007]. (Honest account - I work for Nimbus. But you don't have to take my word for it. Check out our case studies if you like. This approach is being adopted by several strategic SAP accounts several of which are listed [here|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007]).
What might partly address your requirement is the [APQC Process Classification Framework|http://www.apqc.org/portal/apqc/site/?path=/research/pcf/index.html] . We took this framework as a starting point for building a model company process map. I cannot claim that it is Retail specific, but we have quite a few retail customers who have adopted Control 2007 and also several supply chain optimization projects which we have delivered.
If this is of interest - we provide a web hosted demonstration environment where you can explore the APQC process content I mentioned above. You can contact me through [SAP EcoHub|https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/control2007] for more details
Kind regards, Nigel

Mapping Scenario for Retail Industry

Hi,
I want to know how to implement the following scenario for Sales Process
My customer is into retail industry. They have franchisee all over india. They buy material and supply material to all the location. (Which I mapped through Document Series and Sequence).
For Sales these people only know the closing stock from the respective franchisee i.e balance of the stock. right now they follow (Opening Stk - Closing stock = Sale Quantity) to get the sales.
How can we map the above mentioned scenario in SAP B1.
We are using SAP B12005B PL 40
Regards
Shashi

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But actually what I am looking at the creation of A/R invoice, as it is not possible to enter item codes and select warehouses for branch for each row. I need some automised solution. so that when user from specific branch logsin that should show only the warehouse for that location. and items list should show which are there in the that particular warehouse.

SAP B1 for Retail outlet

Hello,
My client is looking to implement SAP B1, server in the office and clients in 5 retail outlets across the city. any one having suggestions regarding the connectivity required and the s/w to be installed at the cash counters(Billing terminals), so that it can communicate with the server and update the data dynamically.
awaiting early reply
regards
salman

Hi Salman,
In your case it appears as if the Server would be placed at the HO and the Clients are to be instaled at the BO's...am I reight??? Please correct if I am wrong.
The only issue here would be of the connectivity part. If there is prper internet connectivity existing between the HO and the various BO's then there should not be any problem at all.
Now as far as the software is concerned ...that would be totally depending on the Business Process that is to be mapped in SBO. Now since this is a retail scenario the number of items you are dealing with would not only be high but my guess would that it would need a very detailed and intricate tracking process. Ther woulb be several Item Groups and then several subgroups which inturn are also divided in various sub groups . If this is the case then the traditional SBO package would be of little help. You need to go for some really advanced ADD ON packages like the one given by M/s Citixsys. Please check the same out in www.cityxsys.com.
Hope this helps.

If you can't set up JBoss on your local machine, then you can create a simple HTTP server that imitates the JBoss server at least with respect to the HTTP connections that you'd be sending to it.
For example, on a project I'm working on recently, I set up a HTTP server using Python (the standard library comes with a simple HTTP server) with some extensions to mimic our Java-based server. It's actually pretty simple. Python's great for that sort of thing.
But if you don't want to use Python you could, set up Apache, and extend it with some CGI scripts, etc. Just use whatever is available to you that's quick and extensible and which hopefully you already know how to use.

How to map the workflows for a project?

We are developing a mini ERP package for a customer on Oracle 9iAS & Forms 9i. The business process contains lot of workflow process for ex:-Approval of purchase request etc. I am unable to understand how we have to map these flows using Oracle workflow in the project and integrate these using Forms 9i and Oracle Db.

Ramesh,
All the business processes can be modeled using the Workflow Builder tool which gives you a graphical UI of the business process. This is where you will model your approval process etc.
Once you have defined the business process you can invoke the workflow from your application and let workflow take over the business process.
You have API's in PL/SQL and java to invoke these processes.
Use the workflow guide on OTN to get more information on this..
Hope this helps

How to map Product Group for the Materials in BW.

Hi All,
We have an requirement for one of the report called as Progress validation Report.
We have to craete thsi repotr which would pulll out Inventory value, Production Plan value, Total Lates, Current week deliveries and WIP for a quarter.
Cube whihc provides details about production plan has data by Material, plant and product group wise.
But rest of the cube from which we extract the key figures does not have data by Product grop wise.
Product group is been picked from PGMI table in R/3.
How I can related the materials which are in other cube to the respective Product group.
Material and the relevant prdoct group data doesnot flows in BW.
There is even a scenario where ahve seen a material falls under 2 product groups..
PLease guide as how i can realted already existing materials in the Cube to the product group.
Points will be assigned
Thanks & Regards
Vaishali Patil

Hi,
Product Group is master data for material master. It is part of Matreial Clssification data in R/3.
Please check if you are having the same already loaded as attribute of Material master. I guess it will be there, if it s not there then you should try to load the same in material master object which you are using in all the cubes.
If the maintinenece in master data is nopt possible then you got to populate the same in cube.
There will be a combination of keys (materail/plant/prduct family etc.. ( for which Product group will be unique). then load product with the help of these key combinations in all the cubes via update routine.
There is one more way to have this but which is performance intensive.
You may create one master data object called Product Group and keep material number as attribute (with compunding all other key fileds to get the unique combination). Then you may create an infoset using cubes and this master data object. Join the materail numbers in all. Display this object in report.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S
