SAP MAP - Merchandise and Assortment Planning

Hi Everyone,
I'm responsible for Merchandise and Assortment Planning. It is a new solution, based in SAP BW especially for SAP Retail Fashion Loop.
I'm looking for people, who were involved in such a project and could help me.
Does anyone know anything about Relase Workbench in SAP MAP (transaction starts with UPARI*),  BAdI's for Slow Seller Management, Open To Buy, Markdowns Proposals - Template Implementation, their methods and parameters.
Any help will be appreciated.
regards
Krzysztof

I want to know system landscape such what are systems involved such as SAP Netweaver, SAP ECC, SAP PI/XI, any legacy system.

  • SAP MAP - Best Choices for Planning Technical Basis

    Hello, experts!
    For today there are 3 variants of MAP planning scenaries implementation:
    1.Planning and reporting via MAP Business content for BI Integrated planning
    2.Planning and reporting via MAP Business content for BPS
    3.Planning in ECC based MAP functionality and reporting in BI
    Whether there are recommendations which alternative is more suitable, pro/cons?
    It is possible to use standard MAP workflow scenaries with planning in BPS or BI Integrated planning ?
    Regards,
    Dmitry.

    1.     BW Integrated Planning is the new SAP MAP Planning Solution. There is a also BI Content with predefined templates on BI Content 7.04. The next BI Content 7.05 will include many more out-of-the-box Templates.
    a.     7.04 includes predefined templates for Strategic-, Store- and Merchandise Plan for RMA and CMA. Additionally there is a basic template to do seasonal Assortment Planning on Assortment/Style/Color/Size level in MAP and send it to the Operational Assortment Planning and Control in ECC. But no templates for non-seasonal Assortment Planning.

    b.     7.05 is the enhancement of 7.04 by non-seasonal Assortment Planning and size-curves and images for seasonal Assortment Planning.

    2.     BW BPS is our old Planning Platform. Don´t use it anymore. There's also no migration option to BW Integrated Planning.
    3.     The (very!) old ERP-based MAP functionality is not supported anymore, thus don't use it. All development goes into the above mentioned (1.) SAP MAP solution based on BW Integrated Planning.
    In connection with Integrated Planning, Operational Assortment Planning and Control (OAPC) is the ECC application to plan your seasonal Assortment. The OAPC will get input from SAP MAP either on level Assortment or on level Assortment/Style/Color/Size. Depends on the customer requirements.

  • Difference between BPS, MAP and Integrated Planning

    HI Experts,
    We have a plan to implement the BPS (Business Planningand Simulation) and MAP (Merchandise and Assortment Planning) in retail.
    In our BI 7.0 can i use Business Planning (Integrated Planning) or i need to go for BPS and MAP individually.
    Pls suggest me.
    Best Regards,
    Rams.

    You also have BPS in Bi 7.  Points to consider:
    1. Future development and new functionalities will be deliverred on IP framework, though you can use old BPS in BI7.
    2. IP does not some of the features that BPS has, but hoping that SAP will deliver them down the road.

  • FDM and Hyperion Planning Mapping options

    Hi, Good Day
    My team has an implementation of FDM and Hyperion Planning ver 11.1.2. We are basically using FMD because we need a place to maintain (user friendly) different mapping tables for the accounts dimensions, to be able to load data.
    My questions are; when loading data, do we need to always map all the dimensions? Is there a way to avoid it?
    For example in the model we have 300 accounts, 20 entities and 400 products. We need to map the accounts since they are different for all the entities (in the source data), however not the products. Therefore I want to avoid mapping the products (and maintaining this mapping) when loading the data. Is this feasible? Any ideas?
    Kind Regars

    Any dimension you have active in FDM i.e. constitutes part of the target reference for data you want to load has to be mapped. If your products don't need any transformation during the mapping process i.e. they are one to one simply use a 'pass-thru map' i.e a wildcard Like map with * as the source and * as the target.

  • Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report

    Hi
    Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report
    What is purchase price variance ?, my user is telling that  in SAP R/3, purchase price variance 100 and in  BWI  report it is 200 .
    Any other terminologies are there for purchase price variance ?
    And any idea wherefrom BWI will take this purchase price variance ?
    Thanks In advance

    Purchase price variance is he difference in price between the amount paid to the supplier and the planned or standard cost of that item
    Request you to check your data first in your Cube/ODS, better would be to check in the data container where the data is first loaded.
    Also check if this field is getting directly loaded as 1-to-1 mapping.

  • What is difference between  Service map iview and Workset Map iview

    Hi Experts,
                        Can anyone tell me the difference between  service map iView and Workset Map iView.
    When I am creating these iViews, its seams both are same. I canu2019t find difference still, can anyone help me out of this
    Thanks in Advance
    Janardhan

    Hi,
    Service Map Iview:The Service Map iView is an ERP-specific variant of the portal Workset Map iView. It serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the services of SAP service modules such as the Manager Self Service (MSS) module, or the Employee Self Service (ESS) module.
    Workset Map iview:A Workset Map is the equivalent of a site map, providing users with explicit information on the functionality that is available in a given workset. It is based on an iView, and serves as a central point of entry and guided access to the contents of a workset.
    if you want to more info pls go thr the below thread

    i hope it will help you

  • Locking Issue in Planning DSO in SAP BW 7.3(Integrated Planning)

    Hi Experts,
    We have built Aggregation Level on Direct Update (planning enabled) DSO and used the same in the input ready queries.( Its complete Manual planning - new row addition feature in WAD).
    We have 5 characteristic and one key figure for planning.
    We are facing lock issue while planning the data i.e. when one user is planning, other user cannot plan.
    The lock relevant characteristic is Column A and the same has been added to the Lock Characteristic tab(RSPLSE) of the infoprovider. The input ready query is also restricted with a variable on Column A (manual input single variable- mandatory).
    While the user opens the Planning Layout and plans the data, we can see lock entry in RSPLSE(locks tab) for the Column A selection in the infoprovider, yet if another user is trying to plan for data for some other selection of Column A, a lock entry in RSPLSE is shown with the selection but it errors in thelayout with lock on the infoprovider and cannot plan the data.
    Any inputs will be of great help.

  • Idoc  b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .

    hi gurus,
    how i pass an outbound idoc  b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .
    which  function module we will use in this scenerio for inbound and outbound idoc both
    please guide me  with an example .

    Hi Pawan,
    Non SAP system should have RFC adapter in order to receive and send Idocs from/to SAP.
    If this is not your case, you should us a Integrator Middelware with RFC and standard adapters like SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
    If for example, your non SAP system is able to process data from flat files you can build next interface: SAP send Idocs to middleware that receive them using RFC adapter, middelware maps Idocs into flat file and send it to a one of non SAP system folder using FTP adapter. Non sap system triggers the flat file into its applications.
