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 !

Handling of Down payments / advance payments retail POS interface

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there´s a best practice to handle down payments with POS interface?
thanks in advance
Mariana

Hi Mariana,
Pl use the following link:
help.sap.com/bp_retailv1470/documentation/EN/Store%20Business%20Offline%20EPOS_EN_PRES_V147.ppt
IDOC for down payment is WPUTAB01.
Entries will be as follows:
If a customer is making a down payment of Rs.1000/-
Cash a/c DR 1000/-
Customer or Site CR(Retail Stores if u dont maintain individual customers) 1000/-
When sales are closed say for example Rs.10000/-
Cash a/c DR Rs.9000/-
Customer or Site DR Rs.1000/-
Sales CR Rs.10000/-
In SAP u need to create a Special G/L with Indicator A and this special G/L will be assigned to your main a/c in Tcode OBXR.
F-29 Post Customer Down Payment ,F-32 Clear Customer ,F-39 Clear Customer Down Payment are the FICO transactions which will be used. Pl contact yr FICO
consultant for further details.
Hope this helps you.

Mani

POS Interface with SAP

Hi,
We are currently using SAP ECC6.0, not on IS Retail.
As we have quite a few POS machines being used in the business, we would like to interface POS with ECC6.0.
Is there any third party tools available in the market for achieving this solution?
Thanks
Ram.

Hi Ram
SAP offers regarding POS integration to IS Retail basically two options:
- POS DM (see http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=113246846)
- classic POS interface direct in ECC (WPUBON/WPUFIB/WPUTAB IDoc's for POS transactions)
You want to interface directly in to a non IS Retail ECC system.
Question is what do you want to interface only financial postings or also goodsmovements?
How are the stores represented in SAP (customers/plants?)
The transaction logs (TLOG) info from the POS should be converted to a IDoc that will represent you functional needs on the ECC side.
For this mapping SAP offers SAP PO (proces orch), formally know as PI (or before that XI).
There are also several middleware solutions from third party vendors that can work with SAP.
In such a tool you have to map the TLOG to the desired IDoc you want to use in SAP.
(IDoc could also e replaced with a BAPI/RFC for instance).

Bob

POS interface without IS Retail

Hello everyone,
We have ECC6.0 but do not have IS retail. There are some retail business in the organization, so we are trying to build a POS interface with development. Does anyone has experience with that? Does anybody know how the AR should be posted with all the sales data uploaded from POS?
Thanks a lot for the help!

To,
Dear Colleague,
The objective can be achieved by using SAP Middleware and you have to define Business Object, IDOC, BDOC, and sites and you have to activate all parameters as same as in both Source system and Target system,
Also try Groupware, FTP Server, TREX, for further compatibility as per your business process.

SAP Retail Billing from POS

Hi all,
I have a quich question. A POS performs a sale and it comes in SAP through Idoc. The inventory movement posted is an MM material document with 251 movement.
How the billing document is supposed to be posted? Directly through an FI posting or something else?
BR

Hi Ali,
as it's been already more or less clarified above, both POS billing and goods movement types are defined in the POS inbound profile in SPRO >Sales & Distribution > POS Interface > Inbound.
There you make the decision whether to post individual receipts using WPUBON (> Control Sales as per Receipts) or aggregated sales using WPUUMS (> Aggregated Sales Control). There you define, in the Processes sub-screen, parameters for Billing & Inventory Management, movement types and billing document types with correspondning pricing procedure.
Both these message types trigger billing and post goods issue during inbound processing by assigned function module.
That's all there is to it.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Tomas

Split valuation SAP Retail POS Aggregated sales

Hello,
Using IDoc WPUUMS01, I'm trying to upload aggregated sales into my SAP Retail system.
We are using split valuation for Retail (normal stock and promotional stock).
The error that keeps coming on is: Enter valuation type (100000017)
being (100000017) the material number
The same error happens when I put the action (promotion) number or not in the IDoc.
The logistic team has already made a goods receipt for both normal stock (RNORMAL) and promotional stock (RAKTION), for the same plant wich I'm testing with.
I've read from help.sap that if the action code (promotion code) it's entered in the IDoc, SAP should recognize that and when posting the material document it should take the goods from the promotional stock (RAKTION) and if not (enter the action code) then SAP would take the goods from the normal stock.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/12/085012470311d1894a0000e8323352/content.htm]
Is this process automatic? should we do something else? Please let me know if there's any further customizing we should consider
Kind regards,
F.Chavez

Hi ,
Just want to understand from you that Ru posting the goods movement from the WPUUMS or ru processing the Goodsmovement separately from WPUWBW?
Base rule for split valuation is when ever a goods movement happens,system will demand Valuation type ((normal stock (RNORMAL) and promotional stock (RAKTION)) whatever may be the type of movements.
it is like Goods movements against Article/Site/Storage location/Valuation type.
Incase of receipts we can control this at item level(delivery tab).
Incase of issues(Sales-GM251) system will check for the valuation type.
Please check the inbound idocs are having the content of valuation type .ISR should get aggregated details based on Valuation type.

Ramakrishna Nuthalapati

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.

POS Interface with no POSDM!! Possible?

My client is planning to implement standard POS interface in IS Retail. I have worked several times with POSDM in order to post the Sales, Financial and Inventory Data into SAP, but all used standard POSDM. The client does not have POSDM license and just wants to post the sales and financial data.
Can this be done with standard POS Interface by posting WPUBON01, WPUFIB01 Idocs straight in IS-R?

Hi Raj,
My client is asking for POS to POSDM integration using SAP standard services (not IDOC or BAPI). You have mentioned using standard in your previous integrations. Can you please provide more information on the POS to POSDM that you have done so far. I have no knowledge in this integration. Any documentation or links that you can provide will be great.
Thanks in advance.

SAP Retail Store - Store Order - Assortment List

G'day,
In the SAP Retail Store (SRS) when selecting the "Store Order" "Assortment List" option I've got a request to add columns to the assortment list ( I've done this via Badi IF_EX_WSAO_DISP_EXPAND ).
The challenge now is to make fields within the added columns available for user input. (Currently the fields is only displayed).
Example: I've added columns X, Y and Z in the assortment list.
There are twenty lines in the assortment list and for each line the field in column Y must except input from the user. When the Post Order button is pushed a ME22 transaction must be submitted for each item in the assortment list.
I've copied the internet service for WSTA to ZWSTA but don't have sufficient HTML knowledge to change the HTML page to achieve the above.
Can you please help with a solution.
Thanks, points will be awarded.

Profitability analysis activated in POS Interface, performane/tuning issue?

We are about to golive with a SAP retail system. All purchases made by customers in store are sent into SAP via and idoc via the so called POS (point of sales) Interface.
A reciept received via an idoc creates material docs, invoice docs, accounting documents, controlling documents, profit center docs and profit ability analysis documents.
Each day we recive all receipt from each store collected in one idoc per store.
When deactivate our profit ability analysis an average store are posted in about 40 seconds with sales from an average day. When we post and profit ability analysis are activated the average time per store are almost 75 seconds.
How can simple postings to profit ability analysis increase the posting time with almost 50 %? Is this a performance/tuning issue?
Best regards
Carl-Johan
Point will be assigned generously for info that leads to better performance!

which CO document does the system creates : CCA document ?
on which cost centre ? PCA document ?
What is the CE category of the CE used for posting the variance ?

User exit; Article master SAP Retail for MVKE table?

Is there a user exit in SAP Retail for the MVKE table?
The articles is maintained in a third-party system and are transferred to SAP via Idoc. For sales sets, article category = 10, these requires a item category = ERLA in SAP (MVKE-MTPOS) so that the sales set "explodes" in the sales order.
The third-party system doesn't maintain sales org-spesific data for the articles, therefor we use one ref.article for all article groups. And because sales sets exits in many article groups, we found it difficult to have ref.articles for all of these article groups.
Also the article type is also "normal",so the only way to differentiate the sales sets, are via article category. But since SAP has no link between article category and item category in customizing (as far as I know), I wonder if there is a user-exit to set the item category based on the article category?

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.
