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 !

SAP E-commerce for ERP with SAP Retail back-end

Hi,
does anyone implemeted an E-commerce solution with a SAP Retail backend system?
Our dubt is if durig order entry E-commerce application consider the product variant grid (like in VA01) or not.
We found that this function is supported with an AFS back-end, but we would like to know if it is available also with a retail system.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
while we have quite a few implementatinos with E-Commerce and SAP Retail backend, the specific grid functionality you have seen in AFS is not supported with Retail backend. Hence, most customers enhance the standard product offering at that point, catering for e.g. drop down list boxes with style/color/size selection. In case you're only selling "normal" retail products (individual SKUs), the standard product works fine.
Thanks

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

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.

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?

Product hierarcy in SAP Retail?

Hi,
I have heard that there is a possibility to have more then one product hierarcy in SAP Retail.
The std hierarcy (created in OVSV) is used for financial follow up but we need the possibility to have another hierercy for presenting the products to the customers in a structured way. I have herad that there are such possibilities in SAP Retail, but I cant find them.
Pls tell me if it is possible and also how I go about.
Thanks,
Emma

Hi Emma,
In SAP IS Retail, if you wish to use hierarchy for presenting the products to the customers in a structured way. Then you can use either Article Hierarchy or Merchandise Category Hierarchy.
The Article Hierarchy in SAP ERP enables customers to structure goods based on customer-individual criteria. It is used in Planning, Operations and Reporting on different levels of aggregation.
Path:
Logistics --> Retailing --> Master Data > Article Hierarchy Data> Create           (WMATGRP01)
Whereas merchandise categories mostly observe physical attributes of the goods the article hierarchy groups articles from a sales perspective.
Path:
Logistics --> Retailing --> Master Data --> Material Group Data --> Merchandise Category   (WG21)
Logistics --> Retailing --> Master Data --> Material Group Data --> Merchandise Category Hierarchy Level    (CLWM)
Hope it helps.

Anirban Roy

SAP Retail Store Services

Hello,
i want to configure SAP Retail Store Services in Portal (701) (ERP 6.0 EHP4)
Business Component BP IS-R-SRS 1.40 is already installed.
But i can´t find a documentation explain the configuration in the Portal Enviroment.
Can anybody guide me ?
Regards & Thanks,
Steven

HI Steven,
It looks like you need to use a iView to call the SRS.
Documentation about the SRS: SAP notes 763210 and 918018.
Maybe [this|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/25/f96c801c124fd1ae205d763585d427/frameset.htm] SAP Help page also can provide you with information.
I hope this can be (at least) a kick-start.

IDOC message type for "Site" in SAP Retail module?

Hi All,
We have the need to transfer master data (through master data change pointers) of Retail Sites within the SAP Retail module (transaction: WB01, WB02). Does anyone know if there's an IDOC message/type already associated with this? Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,

Hi,
please read SAP notes 892103 and 551035.
The correct IDOC type should be FIDCC1 / FIDCC2.

Posting a Goods Movement in SAP Retail Store

In SAP Retail Store, under Inventory Management>Goods Movement>Other Movement, when entering articles and quantities, if you want to use multiple Bus. trans. or Reason for Movmt. values, you have to post them separately. This requires you to post, exit out and then go back in and post again, etc.
Is there a way to post multiple Bus. trans. or Reason for Movmt. values on the same screen?

Hi,
Is that stock is tagged with sales order ?
How you have HU in non HU managed location ??
If you want to move stock then use t code HU02 and create HU in non HU manged location mentioning destination location as HU managed .

Good Movement issue in SAP retail ITS

Hi All,
Business is posting goods movement using SAP retail store ITS. The document gets posted in SAP successfully but storage location is not coming correct for a movement type. We have checked the configuration and it is fine. We are not able to replicate the issue in test systems.
Kindly help us on how we can able to find a cause of this issue.
Thanks for you help.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
Retail Store Application is desinged in such a way that for the movement type,the default storage location for the destination plant is automatically taken.
But you can modify the code as per your requirments by implementing the given BAdI.
CALL METHOD exit_gr_field->CHECK_INPUT_GR_item
Modify the field for stroage location W_UMLGO .
I hope this helps.
