Picking process in SAP Retail

could any body explain me how the picking process runs in SAP Retail store operations.

Out here in Retail Master data has to be triggered from SAP to POS that trigger
WP_PLU02 idoc .Then all transactional dat inclding goods movement happens at the store levle that is controlled with the help of inbound goods movement idoc
WPUBUW01 (That includes all goods movement store to store transfer, wastage, scrap or may be any goods movement)
This is how it works as rest all master data goes through artcile master idoc

Choice of supplier in SAP Retail

Dear Retail experts,
I am new to SAP Retail, but I am sure someone out there has a quick answer to the following question.
A store has a need of an article. If there is stock in the DC it should be supplied from there; otherwise, the store shall order from the vendor. Such process doesnu2019t exist in standard SAP (probably in SAP APO), but maybe thereu2019s such process in SAP Retail?
TIA
Raf

On the Article Master Logistics Store view, maintain the setting for Supply Source. 4 = Stock Transfer Before Standard.
This works in conjunction with ATP checking.
Store Order: Document Categories with Sourcing Check
The document category controls the conversion of store order IDocs into follow-on documents. If a sourcing check is to be carried out for the document category, the system determines a source of supply, and if it finds an internal source of supply, it also performs further checks on the goods, to ensure that they are available, for example.
The following are examples of document categories without a sourcing check:
Warehouse order with single availability check
The system checks availability for an internal source of supply according to ATP logic. If the available quantity is insufficient, the system searches for an external source of supply (the availability check cannot be carried out for an external source). The availability check is only carried out for a single internal source of supply.

How to map different Retail store business processes in SAP

Hi
In our stores( Retail Business) there are two sales sections, In the first section we have Point of Sales systems, here we placed our materials in racks, after confirming and creating sales order customer collects pick list and goes to the location to pick the products. Here customer Invoice will be created before delivery.
In second sales section normally order fulfillment will take place. Customer visit this section and select products and places an order. But the delivery will be at a later date. We receive some down payment from customer and we create sales order with scheduled delivery. while delivering the products we create delivery note and it will be sent to customer, Our driver will carry the delivery note along with products to the customer and take customer signature on the delivery note. In this second process we are creating Invoice after delivery only.
Could any body suggest me how can we map these two processes in SAP?
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

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..

Prepack vs Display in SAP retail

Hi guys,
I am still struggling to understand the difference between prepack and Display in SAP retail.
Anyone has a good understanding of that?
Cheers
Julien

Hi
Prepack:
Variant from different generic articles belongs to same merchandise category grouped together as component and created with article category 11.
Prepacks are used in Fashion retail where merchant wants to order specific variants (color and size) rather than ordering all the variants from generic articles.
Vendor ship prepack articles and received in DC as prepack articles whereas it will be sold at component level in Store.
Display
Variant from different generic articles belongs to different merchandise category grouped together as component and created with article category 12.
Vendor ship as display articles, stocks are maintained at DC as display articles but sold in store at component level.
Display articles are used in FMCG sectors mostly and to some extend it is used in Fashion as well. These articles generally kept at billing counters and customer will pick the components as they like it.

Configurable article in sap retail?

Hello Experts,
Can we have configurable articles in sap retail?
Please tell me your opinions..
Thanks

Take an example of computer where we have different model of computer lets say
xyz 7000 black
xyz 7000 blue
xyz 7000 white (three variants of xyz 7000 series laptop)
customer can build his laptop from the list of components by having picking different options of hardware such as processor, ram, cds hard drive etc.
Once customer selected the desired components and production order will get generated and the delivery happen to the customer..
the above scenario we want to do it thru article master..(mm41) not thru standard material master.
thanks

Hi, what's the impact of creating sites through configuration in Sap retail System?

Hi Experts,
Business requirement is to have a production plant created through config in retail system and then ship the finished product to DC using STO's and Dc will be created as master data in retail system. please share your experience on business impact on this integartion of production plant and site in Retail?
Thanks in Advance !

Hi Govind,
In SAP Retail system, the options for creating plant from configuration is disabled. Means in SPRO screen, the execute button is not there for these options. So you will not be able to create plant through configuration in SAP Retail system where the retail switch is activated.
All the Retail related features will not support that plants.
To the best of my knowledge, Site created in Retail system using WB01 transactions can be used for production cycle to implement manufacturing scenario. Using article to article stock transfer you can transfer the stock of Finished Goods articles to trading articles and so on.
Various processes are available for this.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Regards,
Amit

Hi,
Valuation at retail in SAP Retail corresponds to all aspects of the retail inventory method as used in the trade. Valuation at Retail is transparent and easy to follow. When you use this method, inventory is updated in the article master at retail and at the same time in the Retail Information System (RIS), allowing you to carry out a number of powerful analyses.
Stock margins and inventory valuation in Financial Accounting are always up to date. And thanks to the integration of valuation at retail with Inventory Management and the integration of Inventory Management with Financial Accounting, Controlling and Profitability Analysis, the valuation data is consistent in all areas.
Valuation at retail can be used for both quantity and value-based Inventory Management and Inventory Management on a value-only basis. The following explains how you can best use valuation at retail for your requirements:
In SAP Retail, the valuation area must always correspond to a site.
In retailing it is common practice to record the retail price of inventory (retail method). Since it is extremely time-consuming to determine all the costs associated with the procurement of an article without the use of modern IT systems, it is all the more difficult to determine the delivered cost of merchandise. In view of this, the delivered cost of an article is usually taken as an average price calculated on the basis of the retail value.
(a) Valuating inventory at delivered prices (cost inventory method)
You can only apply this method if you can ensure that all changes involving an article can be accurately recorded. What is known in the trade as the u201Ccost inventory methodu201D or the u201Ccost methodu201D involves valuating stocks at delivered prices and assigning costs to individual articles.
(b) Valuating inventory at retail (retail inventory method)
What is known in the trade as the u201Cretail inventory methodu201D or the u201Cretail methodu201D involves valuating stocks at retail, often aggregated at merchandise category or departmental level. Stock is updated at retail for every merchandise category and department. For balance sheet valuation purposes on the balance sheet key date, the delivered cost of the stock is worked out based on a gross margin between cost and retail.
Both the cost method and the retail method can be used in SAP Retail.
Bye and all the best,
Muralidhara

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 !

Pl help me out with scenario

Please have alook at

Material type WERT is correct.
In Material type maintenance you can control at all if a store will be value only inventroy managmenet or both.
Further in the Site master WB02, you can control it on MC level.

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?

Article Deletion in SAP Retail

What is the process for deleting an article and then archiving the article in SAP Retail ECC6.0? So far what I have is to:
1. Go to MM46 and find layouts for article
2. Go to WLWBN and Delete Assignments
3. Go to Assortment in WSP6 and delist from DC and stores.
4. Stop replenishment and procurement using MM42 go to Logistics -- General Control Param -- Article Status -- status block article
5. Go to ME15 and Mark Info Recs for deletion
6. WRF_DIS_SEL - Put in Article and then click "Client_Wide Article Discontinuation" to get green button. Select All - discontinue
I need to know what is wrong with the above process, or what do I need to add to the above process? The issue is that we will go into SARA and try to delete the article and the process ends up not being able to see the article for deletion. We have no activity against the article and no inventory for that article. So there must be something I am missing here.

Probably a bit too late, but check this information:

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
Raghu ram.

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.
Regards,
Debraj

SAP Retail Store

Can you please confirm for me the following:
In the Master Guide SAP for Retail Business Suite 2009 Document Version 1.2 u2013 October 2009, there are two scenarios for SAP Retail Store:
Scenario1: In-Store Merchandise and Inventory Management (ITS) .................................................. 32
Scenario2: In-Store Merchandise and Inventory Management (Web Dynpro)..................................... 36
1) Is it true that the technical system landscape as depicted on page 32 requires an ITS 640 (i.e. the older version of NetWeaver04) to front end the Retail Server based on ERP6.0 EhP3 (i.e. NW7.0)? Or is this an error (may be a carryover from NW04 documentation) and that the Integrated ITS 7.0 which is part of the NW7.0 Web AS of the Retail Server ERP6.0 EhP3 can be used instead?
2) While the two different scenarios are using two different technologies (i.e. ITS vs WebDynpro), they are also providing different functionallies as well, do you agree? If so, both can be used in parallel and scenario 2 doesn't replace scenario1. Is this a valid statement?
e.g. Scenarion 1 (ITS) covers: procurement, goods movement, and sales postings, as well as processes for vendor, assortment, and price management. There are also processes for physical inventory, product
lookup, promotions, and food services and catering.
whereas Scenario 2 (WedDynpro) covers: sales, service, and operations business functions stores require to run effectively on a daily basis
3) In Scenarion 2, it is mentioned that BI 7.0 and BI Content add-on 7.03 are mandatory component, is this true and if so why? Or can I use Scenario 2 without having to upgrade my BW3.5 to BI 7.0?
Please respond as much as possible after each question while providing supporting notes or links to your answers.
Thanks,
Tobi
