Distribution channel for manufacturing industries

Hi.
For manufacturing industries of consumer products what is best channel distribution choice in SAP, taking into account that the customers in SAP aren´t the consumers?
A.
10 Wholesalers
20 Distributors
30 Supermarkets
or
B
10 Wholesale
20 Retail
If the answer is A,.... Why SAP give us the option of extend a customer to the another distribution channel ?
Thank you.

As you would be aware the purpose of creating Distribution Channel is that through some channel you have to distribute the material to customer and we call this channel in many ways like, wholesale, retail, export etc.,
As long as the sales area (combination of sales organisation, distribution channel and division) is clear in SD side, all sales reports can be differentiated easily and from end user point of view, this will be much useful.
In some cases, you need to go in for a common distribution channel due to the fact that instead of having lot of distribution channels, you can simplify the configuration part by having a common channel.
The decision to go different distribution channel or common distribution channel needs to be analysed on case to case basis and of course with clients' concurrence.

Manufacturing industrie-process(buses)

sap experts good evening:-
Sirs, My project is the related to the Manufacturing, industrie BUSES , Under this one what we can say as the BUSINESS PROCESS,(how to the intial stage comes to work in, and how to the finished completed structure) please what have ur valuble suggestion..... help

Hi,
PP point of view:
For this type of products you can use repetitive manufacturing.
1.For this the prerequisite is to use a production version in mrp 4 view of material master & REM profile should be given
2.Rate routing should be used.
3. During mrp planned orders are generated for the requirement given.
4.Using t.code MFBF, after production we can do GR & GI at the same time.
Integration with FI/CO
1. To create cost estimate using ck11n
2. To release use ck24.
3. To create a cost collector use kkf6n
For order settlement use kk87.

Using Adobe Interactive Form in Retails, manufacturing industries??

Hi,
I am a systems integrator solution provider and have a few customers from retails, manufacturing and supply chain industries.
They want to design label with barcodes (such as those SSCC label for shipping). Which SAP solution is the best and most standard?
I have a couple of options: SmartForms and SAPScript. But I also heard about Adobe Interactive Form. Which one is the most commonly used in the market right now? I don't think there are many users of Interactive Form in this scenario but I am not sure. Which barcode/termal printer supports Adobe Interactive Forms?
Please give me your insight.
Thank you
Jessica Alba

Hi Tanmay,
I had the same problem. Try this.
In WebDynpro:
Copy the component and put on a new interface for this Component.
In Transaction SFP:
As "Layout Type" you select "ZCI Layout".
Go to "Utilities" and insert Web Dynpro Script.
Activate and test the Component.
If you insert the Web Dynpro Script later in a Form,
it does not function. You must again put on it.
Anyhow my experience.

Best Practices on Mining Industries - CO-PC

Hello,
I am looking for best practices on the mining industry for CO-PC. I am not very familiar with this industry and I don't know if a classic solution based on standard cost price control and material ledger is the most suitable for this business.
I am used to Material Ledger, but I think it does not make sense to implement that on Mining Industry that produces coal for example or extract only one type of product using as raw materials only diesel and explosives. Can anyone share experiences in this segment?
Rgds,
Rafael

Hi Rafael,
Controlling in Mining industry is often centered not so much about product costs but about assets, maintenance and utilization. Therefore controlling reports often show the costs e.g. by crusher compared to planned cost, and ABC (activity based costing) plays a larger role than in classical manufacturing industries.
But material ledger is still quite popular in mining companies. Even if you are a coal miner there are manufacturing steps like purification, crushing and homogenizing and activity consumption involved in the process steps. Furthermore also the distribution and transportation costs play a big role and can be controlled by material ledger actual costs.
Have a look at SAP's best practice for Mining that contains material ledger and ABC templates for asset costs:

How well does SAP cope with a manufacturing environment ....?

Hi all,
I wanted to check about how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm. In this case, you would see many BOMs, High quantity of POs, Supplier invoices etc. This is in addition to the normal needs for Quality inspection forms, WIP movement and valuation. It's intended to utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

Hi Usha,
...you should have a look at the diffeent best practices offerings (aka. All-in-One). Theree are a lot of offerings there - pre-configured, ready to go - that apply to manufacturing industries like Chemical, Automotive, etc. Go to help.sap.com and you will find details abiout the content of the different best practice solutions.
I hope this helpes.

Hi Sripriya,
Manufacturing has been the foundation of SAP's customer base since the company's origin more than 30 years ago. In fact, SAP's very first customers were in the chemicals, consumer goods and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, where SAP solutions revolutionized the integration of materials management and financial accounting. Today, SAP industry solutions enable closed-loop processes across engineering, manufacturing and supply chain operations to managing product life cycles, customer and supplier relationships, human resources and finances.
Of all enterprise application providers in the world, SAP unquestionably supports the largest set of manufacturing companies. With its unmatched depth and breadth of industry-specific experience, SAP offers solution sets tailored to meet the unique business demands of more than 12,000 manufacturing companies of all sizes across diverse industry sectors, including aerospace and defense; automotive; chemicals; consumer products; engineering, construction and operations; high tech; industrial machinery and components; mill products; mining; oil and gas and pharmaceuticals.
As increasing competition reigns across all industries throughout the global market, SAP® solutions are empowering companies with the added-value capabilities they need to grow their customer base and competitive advantage, such as after-sales service management throughout the product or project life cycle.
SAP industry solutions support all common manufacturing methods ranging from make-to-stock in relatively stable manufacturing environments to planning with and without final assemblies in manufacturing environments confronted by rapid supply-demand fluctuations. Building on the capabilities of its enterprise software to improve business process efficiency and reduce costs, SAP is helping manufacturing companies to drive growth by enabling the next step in business process evolution: adaptive supply chain networks.
SAP sees adaptive supply chain networks as encompassing five key abilities that competitive businesses need to compete in today's marketplace:
     Plan Optimize and schedule supply chain and shop floor operations based on resource and material availability
     Execute Manage build, move, modify, track and document activities on across the supply chain
     Sense Continually monitor and alert in real-time exceptions that impact operations
     Respond React rapidly and efficiently to demand and supply signals to internal and external deviations
     Learn Continually evolve and incorporate knowledge into supply chain and manufacturing process
SAP solutions empower companies with these abilities, creating enhanced visibility into the extended supply chain and thereby enabling businesses to adapt processes and respond in real time to meet customer demands. SAP builds user-centric solutions that adaptive manufacturers run to intelligently monitor, manage and optimize supply chain and shop floor operations and to seamlessly integrate into demand chain processes.
     Increased revenue SAP solutions help companies increase their ability to anticipate market needs, seize new business opportunities, enable new levels of innovation and make sales and marketing campaigns more effective.
     Reduced costs From reducing transaction costs to streamlining engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and logistics, SAP solutions empower companies to do what they do best, quickly identify where costs are being incurred, and reduce these costs across the enterprise.
     Increased capacity and improved delivery Visibility into production and project schedules and customer requirements enables companies to precisely evaluate and quickly respond to market changes.
     Enhanced customer service A more responsive customer service organization helps companies retain satisfied customers and drive new revenue streams from after-sales services and parts sales.
     Improved sales and increased customer lifetime value With effective customer segmentation and accurate market forecasting, companies can make sales efforts count by identifying and retaining the most profitable customers through a continual understanding of the needs of individual customers and customer segments.
     Clarified business vision Enhanced insight throughout the entire extended enterprise helps companies make more informed decisions, improve processes and streamline procedures to increase return on assets.
     Expand reach SAP solutions enable tight-knit collaboration across enterprise and international boundaries, creating links through enterprise portals to work successfully with suppliers, partners and customers.
