Is retail-SD Scope

Hi,
I want to know how SD Consultant will play a role in IS Retail Project.
My basic understanding,the role SD consultant is limited when it comes to industry specific Retail .
Enterprise Structure
Site-Here sites (individual store) is treated as Plant
Master Data
Article Master-Instead of material master
Pricing-I could see mark up pricing,some percentage.
I am very much confused suppose if a SD consultant happens to work in Is Retail project,what all he has to know.
His Basic SD knowledge is sufficient? or Else he should take any extra effort to learn new things relevant to Is Retail,if so what are the topics to be covered.
Please clarify me..

Hi Pradeep,
As an SD/MM consultant with 9+ years experience with IS-Retail projects, I would first recommend you to go through the IS Retail scenarios and check for the processes that you'd possibly have to cover; Below is the link to the IS-R scenario map, I've not taken the latest as I could not make it work However, the solution scope has not really changed in years;
SAP Retail BP V1.605 - Scenario Map
It is quite difficult to recommend a specific retail functional area but I see the following list of retail SD (or SD related) areas as a must when working on an IS-R project;
Concept of Assortment & Listing (as listing is usually required to sell article in stores)
Store Connectivity / POS Interface
Retail Price Calculation
Promotions & Bonus Buys, Seasons
Article Hierarchy (do not confuse with Merch.Cat.Hierarchy)
Understand Article Master Data (single/generic+variant/sales set/pre-pack) & Site Master Data structure
However, I'm sure that experience of other consultants might be completely different and the above list much shorter.. or much longer!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Tomas

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

Apex running with Oracle Retail Applications

Hi,
Has anyone had experiance of building Apex screens to run with the Oracle Retail Applications (ORMS, ORPM, ReIM etc) and if so the do you do authentication using mod_sql (as with EBS 11i) rather than using the Apex Listener as you would with EBS R12.1
I am assuming its possible to access the Apex screens from the Retail menu's but I have not looked into it in any dertail and just wanted to know that I am not waiting my time suggesting Apex as an extension technology around the Retail Applications.

Retail Industry - Trans. WF10 Collective PO - not possible to exclude vendo

Hi
We have a Retail system (ECC5.0) where we have one DC and a number of stores (aprox 100)
They use the Flow Through scenario at the DC for almost all articles
The stores creates UB-orders towards the DC (DC is the vendor) and they want to use WF10 Collective PO's at the DC on different times for different vendors
Example
2 pm - Vendor 12345 and 223344
4 pm - Vendor 555555
6 pm All other vendors excluding 12345, 223344 and 555555
The problem is that you can't exclude vendors when using WF10, you can only select 1 single vendor or all of them
Have you had the same problem or a solution how to solve this issue ?
Thanks
Anders

Dear Anders,
Before running WF10, you can run RP based on following variants;
(1) Plan per Vendor: The RP variants for vendor based planning would be defined based on the
(a) Site /DC
(b) Merchandise category
(c) Stock Planner
(d) Planning cycle
(c) RP control parameters
(2) Total Planning (Background): The RP variants for net change planning in the planning horizon would be defined based on the
(a) Scope of planning (Site, Article)
(b) Planning horizon
(c) Frequency of planning
Based on this output, you can run WF10.

Scope of RFID in future

Hi,
I am working as XI Consultant with 2 yrs of experience. I would like to know how the career in RFID. Anybody please let me the scope of RFID in future regarding the opportunities and career growth.
Thank you.
Regards
Bhanu.

Hello,
                  Rfid is a technology that has been existing since few decades but was not feasible to be adopted owing to the high costs associated with its implementation. But as of now, the Rfid community is looking forward to decreasing costs with setting up the Rfid infrastructure.
                  Different research projects are being undertaken by Auto Id Labs in association with big universities like MIT. Bridge project by European Union is also a big project.
                  Apart from supply chain, Rfid is entering pharmaceuticals, healthcare, retail, and defense. Novartis is carrying out large researches and implementations. Chep pooling has already implemented Rfid in supply chain and gaining its benefits
                  In Usa, Walmart and Dod Department of Defense has given mandates to apply Rfid technology.
                  In Barcodes, the Gs1 group, is researching on 2 Dimensional Barcodes. This is supported in the latest version of Sap AII which is not out.
                 So barcodes with more information to be stored possible, and Rfid with its huge benefits will go hand in hand.
                 Companies are still confused about it, but the decreasing costs are attracting them all slowly towards implementing the technology.
                Standards are being drawn out by organisations such as EPC and Gs1.
               So slowly Rfid is coming into picture with all companies wanting to implement it.
              And looking at the different benefits it will provide to businesses, the cost cuttings, will lead them to huge profit margins which is demandable in today's competitive market.
             RFID has a very bright future.

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
Chanchana

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.
For more information plz try this link http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/40/c0e238f0d111d2adff080009d2232d/frameset.htm

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

IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.
