Though I do not have direct exposure to IS-Retail, but the processes do not vary much depending upon which IS is it. Processes vary depending upon the customer's end needs. i.e., Mostly on reports you want periodically.
As far as Materials integration is concerned, this might not be required if you want only cost and no other integration requirements are there. I'm hinting at an alternative method of counting the spares cost using Measuring Points as Counters (Count Backwards tick) etc. For cost computations of your reports, you'll be taking the MvgAvgPrc from MARA table. Why I'm saying this is because, your Asset database does not seem to be big.
Rest as I hinted usual process of
1. Notifications (for BDn recording or Preventive jobs Scheduling)
2. Catalogs and Coding (for Defects, Causes Activitiy recording during BDns)
3. Measuring points (Health records of your Assets)
would be there.
(You can use even Catalogs & Codes for spare parts consumption records if the spares database is not much).
