How I can map "Sales Target Planning" in SAP?

Hi All,
I am working in Sales & Marketing in a Logistic Service Provider Company.
Our Product is Container (in which RMG & other commodities are transported
via ship from/to all over the world). Our Sales Target is planned in yearly
basis on Quantity of Containers, Number of Buyers, Different Corridors,
Different Commodities etc etc. How we can map our Sales Target Planning in SAP?
Regards,
Syed Waseem Reza

Sir,
Can you please let us know the high level process flow you have already mapped? I am facing the same problem.... I am here delivering my existing process flow.
We didnu2019t go for any other special module of SAP
The General modules of SAP including
u2022     SD(Sales & Distribution),
u2022     MM(Material Management),
u2022     WM(Warehouse Management),
u2022     LE (Logistic Execution),
u2022     FI(Finance), CO(Controlling),
u2022     FA(Fixed Asset)
Basic Process Mapping:
u2022     SO(Sales Order) may create directly or against Qut(Quotation)
u2022     All SO line item will create the PR (Purchase Requisition)
u2022     Warehouse does the GR (Goods Receive) against PR indirectly SO.
u2022     Empty and Laden Container enters to Warehouse as a material received.
u2022     TO (Transfer Order) of Goods to the Bin Location
u2022     Creates the Outbound Delivery against GR.
u2022     Picking of Goods from WH Bin to Deliver Place
u2022     Packing of Goods to the Container as per Shipment.
u2022     Outgoing Invoice for collection against Outbound Delivery
u2022     Incoming Invoice for payment against Shipment Cost.
Management wants to give one sales target such as...
Year -SO-----Material Group---Material Group
--(20' Container)-----(40' Container)
2009-----10,0004,000--
2,000
and in the end of the year, Management wants to see the see the following report.
Year      Targeted      Achieved     Target(20') Achieved(20') Target(40') Achieved(40')
--SOSO-----
2009-----10,0008,0004,0002,0002,000--
1,500
For this I have to store my sales target in any of SAP document, because i have already all the Achieved information in my existing system, because material groups are keeping in the Shipment/Packing phase of the process, So i can easily make the report, but i cant get the Target as I don't have any place to store the same.
Can anybody help me to proceed?

Production Planning in IS-Retail

Hello all,
I was wondering if it is possible to use Production Planning if IS-Retail industry Solution is activated. I know that materials are converted to articles in IS-Retail, but I don´t know if this could affect the process of production planning.
Thanks in advance.
Ezequiel

Hi,
You can use PP module in IS Retail too!!
But, following functions not support in SAP Retail
(a) Long-term planning: You cannot maintain specific data for long-term planning for articles.
(b) Co-product production: You cannot create specific data for co-product production (for example, apportionment structure for costs) for articles. You can map production transactions with by-products in the bill of material, using articles with a negative quantity

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.

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.
Manish

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..

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?

How to enter the plan in SAP for semi finioshed parts

Dear all,
One of my client is manufacturing both the Semi finished (Part "B") as well as Finished parts (Part "A") in their location.
The production capacity of the Part "A is 40,000 units.
But, the production capacity for the Part "B"is 60,000 units
At present he is handling the production unit with 2 different plans (manual plan).
Now the question here is,
1.He wants to feed both the plans in to SAP R3
2.Users should make use of the MRP generated planned orders only
How to configure is this?
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks,
CLS

Dear Mr.Dharma,
Thank you for your information. We are following the process as mentioned by you. Here we have a problem - according to my requirement, i have plan for both materials A and B.
Example :- The plan for item A = 20,000
I am entering the demand in MD61. after running MRP system generates planned order for item A as well as item B for the qty of 20,000.
Here the available capacity for item B is 40,000 hence we want to create planned orders for 40,000 for item B and 20,000 for item A.
Regards,
CLS.

Calculated key figures in manual planning

I'm trying to set up a Material Planning system using BPS.
One of the requirements my customer wants is that in the manual planning he can both modify a multiplier as well as one of the resulting amount key figures.
The multiplier is used to calculate the consensus amount based on a consolidated amount.
In my manual planning I have the possibility to allow input on the multiplier as well as the consensus forecast (that has been calculated upfront). Now I need the consensus forecast to change when th multiplier is changed.
How can I best tackle this? (Yes, I'm fairly junior to BPS...)
Thanks for any guidance in this matter.
Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric,
to give business the most flexible solution, allow them to manually change the multiplier or the result and provide two planning functions (FOX). One for calculating the result from the multiplier, and one for the reverse. Then the user can choose which direction they want to go.

Clarification on Manual Planning

Hello
Would appreciate clarification on the following query.
Is it possible to write zero key figures into the infocube:
The context is I have paytype as a characteristic
when the characteristic is BONUS the rates (read All Key Figures )are zero, while there are specific rates when the value of the paytype characteristic is PAID
While I maintain these values in the planning layout , I find that the system recognizes only those entries which has atleast one non-zero value
The work around for me would be to try and introduce a key-figure which would have a value in all instances
Just wanted to know whether there is an alternative
Thanks for your time
Regards

appreciate your response on this query;
I also felt like sharing SAP's perspective on this.......
<b>My query to SAP</b>
I have created a planning layout for manual planning; Set of entries were entered in the planning layout
The scenario demands the key figures for certain characteristics combinations to be zero ; this means that for these combinations, all the key figures assumes zero values The systems generates entries only in the cases where atleast one key figures has a non zero value; Why is this so? Is the BPS design/ Loading
into t cubes designed such that key figure should have non zero values
to be loaded into the data target Appreciate help on this Regards;
Ramesh
<b>SAP Reply</b> 28.11.2005 20:46:07 SAP AG
Dear Ramesh,
yes, the system is designed this way. The BPS could not discern betweenvalues of zero and values not yet planned. Data sets have to have at least one key figure diverse to zero, otherwise these data sets will be
deleted from the internal buffer and will be not written to the cube. This is the standard behaviour of the BPS system.
A possible workaround is to set dummy key figure (like "planned") with value 1 for "yes" and 0 for "no".

SAP Retail Project - Assembly Order configuration

Dear all,
We are into SAP Retail Project, as per the process we have to generate an assembly order to our internal workshop to assemble the product.
this assembly order has to generate from sales order. Articles required to assembly will be maintained in workshop only.
we are not implementing Production module, we are trying to create a purchase requisition from sales order. but the BOM main items purchase requisition is not getting generated and there is no communication between sales order and workshop regarding Assembly process.
I am expecting an expert advice, with config steps to map this process into sap. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for the useful link you shared.
But I am looking for specific configuration and master data set up required for store order creation scenario where " Warehouse stock is created if stock exists else third party order is created"
This option is activated in POS interface inbound profile for store order control by selecting document categorydefault as "A - Warehouse order if stock exists, otherwise third-party order"
Just wanted to understand how this option works by requiring what kind of configuration and master data settings.
Any further suggestions will be really helpful.

On Order Stock not considering while Replenishment planning in IS-Retail

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am running Replenishment planning in IS -Retail system, but it's not considering On order Stock (e.g Purchase order - schedule receipts). could you please tell me the config where system can consider on order stock.
Thanks in Advance.
Sagar.

Hi Mayank,
I had already done the steps that you have mentioned. i.e. Changing the error processed records to
"Not Processed" and running the initial load again, but it does not help as the exception still continue to be the same i.e. No Product or Location can be found in the database" whereas these details are already present in the system i.e.if you check /FRE/MASS_LOC or for product.
After checking the help (F1) for TEMPRPFROM, it clearly specifies that if a date is mentioned in the field, it will activate the blocking on the date and if no value is present in the field, then the temporary blocking will not be enabled.
Also, a surprising fact is that whenevr I transfer the product or location details on a particular date, the TEMPRPFROM reflects that particular date even in the interface tables. So wondering whether some customizing field is present in IS-Retail side which is causing this issue
Best regards

How to allow only new combinations when adding lines in manual planning?

Hello Xperts.
in manual planning (input ready query called over web-template) the user wishes to plan (change the key figure values) for already existing combinations and to add new lines (which has been enabled in the web-template through a button group).
The crux of the matter is that the user is supposed to be able to enter only new unique combinations of data. Hence the user may not enter already existing characteristic combinations as a new line.
I have noticed that the system default is that if the user enters an already existing combination when "adding a new line", the value entered for the key figures is simply added to the existing value (summation) of that characteristic combination. This is unacceptable to the business requirements!
I thought about solving with a check combination exit (CL_RSPLS_CR_EXIT_BASE), but the problem is that all already existing combinations would be invalid, hence it would not work I think.
I would appreciate any suggestions out there how this could be accomplished. Thank you.

Hi,
The best option that satisfies your requirement is to create a custom planning function to accept only new combinations.
For this check the following link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/0c033316cd2bc4e10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
In the above go to BI Integrated Planning -> BI Integrated Planning -> Implementing Planning Function Types
After this, in your "Save" button on the workbook insert this custom function also before the "Save".
So once you click "Save" button first check is performed and error is thrown if the records entered by the user are not as per your requirement.

Balajee

Advanced Planning for the retail industry

Hi,
First, I would like to know the best solutions for planning in the retail industry and if you can share with me more detail about these solutions.
Second, I want to understand the SCM menu....I know that under the point Advanced Planner and Optimzer are the DP, SNP, PPDS and GATP solutions......but I want to understand the point Forecasting and Replenishment, is it for the retail industry or what it is for?....how does it interact with SAP-Retail or the solutions that you explained in the first point?
Thanks a lot!

SAP has avoided making any recommendations. I specifically asked one of their architects a similar question a couple of weeks ago.
In general the X12 and EDIFACT standards are king within the retail industry. Within the United States X12 has been the default standard for many years and is used by all the giants. Within the European Union EDIFACT is the default standard and is used by the vast majority of retailers. However the UK has a standard which is called Tradacoms. In my experience UK retailers have, when pushed, also offered EDIFACT messaging. It should be noted that these formats are not XML. However many XML convertors exist for them. X12, EDIFACT and Tradacoms are what are commonly referred to as Traditional EDI.
The GS1 standard called eCOM is being increasingly adopted. I do know that Accenture and CapGemini have recently been heavily involved in promoting GS1 and eCOM. This is because eCOM standard is realistically the most heavily backed replacement for the Traditional EDI standards. The several of the largest US and European retailers and manufactures are now throwing their weight behind eCOM.
