Scope of SAP SD in Retail Industry

Hi All,
I have just done my SAP SD module and i am interested in knowing the scope of SAP SD in retail industry. Is there any retailing company in India which has implemented SAP or is interested in implementing.
Kindly throw some light on this .

Hi Subahashini
As far as retail companies are concerned they are more into IS-Retail
which is nothing but Industry solutions for retail
This is similar to SD but more focussed on retail industry needs

Is this useful?

  • How to Map SAP B1  for retail industry

    hi every one,
    we r going to implement SAP B1 for a retail company which trades on shoes and bags. they have one Head office and 12 ware houses they simply buy finished goods from vendors and pack in their in house and sell it to customers. no production , MRP , how we can map it into SAP B1. iam thinking of using citixsys  Retail Add one is it possible ?  any other solutions?
    regards,
    rajan

    If they have store fronts (actual physical retail stores) then you will need the CitiXsys Addon.  Otherwise, you can handle this out of the box in B1.

  • Guidence needed for SAP Carrer (IS Retail+SD)

    Hi All,
    I am planning to change my Career path from IT Analyst to SAP IS RETAIL Consultant. I am Currently working in retail company (UK Retailer) from last 4 years as IT Analyst involved in Mapping business requirements and Implementing new systems etc.
    I don't have any experience in SAP, I am planning to join Certification course for SD+ISRETAIL and I Checked with one of  SAP Authorized training Center and got overview of IS RETAIL.
    Retail industry is booming accross the world (including India) i think there will be enough opportunities for SAP IS Retail Consultants(this is one of the reason for changing Career path) . I believe experience i have gained in retail domain from last four years will be useful in implementing SAP IS Retail  to suit client requirements.
    I would request your guidence and suggestion on this.
    Regards
    Natraj

    Hi,
    I feel you have made a genuine plan. As you have good industry knowledge you should be able to grasp the concepts easily. You experience in Retail industry can help you in your job search.
    In india you can target cos like IBM, Accenture which have big SAP Teams.
    I feel you should go for IS Retail certification, not sure why you wanna do SD.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • Mapping Scenario for Retail Industry

    Hi,
    I  want to know how to implement the following scenario for Sales Process
    My customer is into retail industry. They have franchisee all over india. They buy material and supply material to all the location. (Which I mapped through Document Series and Sequence).
    For Sales these people only know the closing stock from the respective franchisee i.e balance of the stock. right now they follow (Opening Stk - Closing stock = Sale Quantity) to get the sales.
    How can we map the above mentioned scenario in SAP B1.
    We are using SAP B12005B PL 40

  • External (Non-SAP) Certifications in Retail

    Hello Experts,
    could you please help me understand if there are any external certifications for Retail that hold value over and above the SAP Certifications.

    Also, it would be great if you could point me to some must-go resources (website links, blogs etc.) for gaining a deeper understanding of the the retail industry.
    Thanks in advance!

  • SAP R/3 Retail

    HI,
    Could anybody through some light on SAP R/3 Retail.
    Regards,

    Hello Chris,
    The main difference between IS Retail (for that matter IS Water, Oil, Utilities etc...) are Industry specific modules, where as R/3 is the base module handling S&D, MM, PP, HR, PS etc... there is a definitely a relationship between these modules, For example
    in SAP IS-Utilities module, Device Category is nothing but Material in SAP R/3 module.
    The other example is to create a Service Order, the IS-U BP creates a reference BP(in role Sold To Party) in R/3 without which Service Order functionality cannot be dealt with.
    I can provide you many examples with respect to each object with respect to SAP IS modules & SAP R/3 is concerned.
    Bottom line is the relationship between objects/config exists within all SAP modules.
