Hi,

We are implementing Seasonal procurement with OAPC.

We have a business scenario where MRP of the articles get changed after the seasonal PO is created.

In pricing procedure we are using conditions MVK0,MVK1 & WOTB for MRP ( Sales price) of the article.

When i use update pricing function in Seasonal PO, the conditions are not getting updated successfully.

for some articles in the PO...conditions are updated & for some articles the conditions remains as old MRP.

exmaple:

PO having line item 10 as generic article & line items 11,12,13,14,15 as 5 variants of the generic article.

Now when update pricing function is used. The 3 conditions MVK0, MVK1 & WOTB are not updated correctly for Line item 10 & Line item 13.

Hello,

we want to create sites with an existing customer number.

Our problem is that we have used this customer number for the intercompany process yet. At the moment we have a parallel scenario - we make the material flow / and the money flow with sd orders -> delivery -> sd invoices between the SAP System and the other / old logistic systems. In this process we use the existing customer number (they were very old, they use SAP FI since over 20 years) for the logistic chain.

In the next rollout step, we'll create 20 new sites and would like to assign the existing customer number to the sites. But there is now our problem. When the address number of the customer is used in the logistic process (table vbpa) you can't assign the existing customer number in the transaction WB01.

You get the following error message: "Address could not be deleted as it is still used elsewhere" (AM048).

Have everybody an idea / tip / hint?

Best regards

This year, in January, I attended to the NRF (NRF Retail Big Show 2014). It is possibly the largest Retail focused event in North America. Even though it is a technology agnostic event (it should be as it focuses on Retail Business), it was backed up by some of the big players in the IT industry, Oracle being one of the main sponsors. Microsoft was very present too.

As I am a big SAP Retail advocate, I looked forward to the SAP presence there and have to say I was a little disappointed. The showfloor coverage of SAP was a small fraction of the one of Microsoft (much less of Oracle's). So of course that was frustrating. I know how solid SAP Core applications are (including for Retail). SAP Retail is most likely the strongest ERP offer out there, yet, SAP was low key there....

So, now, fastforward to October 2014 and SAP held the SAP Retail Forum this past week (Oct 7 and 8) in New York. I was able to attend through the Blogger/Press/Incluencer program. I was really excited to see how the product portfolio would be positioned and have hints of the overall SAP roadmap.

At NRF, a lot of focus was given to what was described as the two main challenges in the Retail business:

• The Amazon manace - The need of a streamlined and fast distribution model - Fast reaction to customer demand
• Customer Centric analytics - Getting to know your customer (accross channels) - The Customer 360 view

Here are my impressions on the event this week and provide a very brief summary of how these Retail Challenges are to be addressed.

CAR - Customer Activity Repository

Left Right and Center, CAR was everywhere. CAR (Customer Activity Repository) is a new offering from SAP, built on HANA to provide customer activity analytics. CAR in fact is now central to the SAP Retail roamap. It was created as an evolution of SAP POSDM, aggregating POS data, ERP back end inventory position and other input to provide a consolidated view. It is based on CAR that all the additional Retail offerings will be attached to, these being:

• Planning for Retail (P4R)
• Assortment Planning
• Allocation Planning
• Promotion Planning

http://help.sap.com/car

https://www.news-sap.com/tags/sap-customer-activity-repository/

SAP Retail and CAR now enable the following:

• Customer Centric Marketing and Merchandising
• Supply Chain - Optimize Inventory based on real-time predictive Customer insight
• Omni Commerce Customer Experience - Deliver personalized customer experince across channels
  

SAP Retail as the CORE of Customer operations

As described by Andrea France (sorry, had to reuse it as it was a great way of summarizing it), SAP Retail is the foundation, the core of customer applications. It provides very robust Finacials, logistics and other operational applications.

What is important to take away from this diagram?

• SAP Retail is the CORE foundation of the SAP Landscape. It provides very solid functionality that can support growth and allows you to take the most of your IT investment. Its Financials, Merchandise Distribution and other Operational related functionality is second to none in functionality depth and flexibility. It can be adapted and grow with your business.
• To be able to provide the most sophisticated and advanced solutions, your customer experience applications need to be built taking into consideration this application stack and integrated all the way to the core applications. Live POS data can benefit a much faster distribution strategy. Customer Apps (mobility) integrated all the way to the core can provide live inventory availability across channels, Promotions can be built to better target upsell instead of canabalize repeat business, etc etc.
• SAP HANA is the foundation for this application stack.
  

I think this is a simple representation of the SAP landscape but help put its offerings in perspective.

SAP Fashion Management (FMS)

SAP also positioned very clearly its new solution for Retail/Fashion industry. As a convergence of applications (AFS and SAP Retail) it better addresses customer requirements that often request production and store sales functionality. I wrote a dedicated BLOG about it, available here.

HANA Simplification: SAP Fashion Management

Customer Presence

North American customers were quite well represented there. Here is a picture with some of the names of the companies that sent representatives to the event.

Summary

I believe the event was good and helped answer the questions I had in my head concerning product roadmap and overal solution positioning. It was a very short event though. Even though the event was planned for 2 days, activities existed to justify really only one. For the content delivered it was enough, but I am sure most participants would have liked to have more hands on experience and dedicated sessions showcasing the individual products and their functionalities.

I would defenitely return next year and hope that SAP has planned a large presence at NRF 2015, cause it deserves.

Change pointers for WPDBBY message type :I did few steps in the below sequence.

1.  Activated Message Type in BD50

2.  In BD52 given the object name, Table name and Field name ( Which I will be changing the field )

4.  When I execute the report RBDMIDOC and entered the message type,

     I get error message "  Message type WPDBBY cannot be sent with change pointers."

I have maintained the same for Article Master (WP_PLU) and Price Master (Cond_A) , both are working fine. I want to generate the Promotion Master also using RDBMIDOC.

Hi All,

Do SAP provide document link/reference for cancellation document in POS sales aggregate upload?

Here is the scenario :

1. Sales aggregate data is uploaded from POS system to SAP system via IDOC interface. IDOC type : WPUUMS01

2. We monitor the result from Tcode : WPER

3. In that Tcode, we can find out that article documents and billing documents are generated by SAP based on sales data.

4. for certain reason, we can cancel the processed IDOC in the same Tcode. SAP will automatically generate new billing document and new article document for the cancellation.

Cancellation/reversal document for article document and billing document is generated, but somehow I can't find the reference/link to tell us which document is cancelled by the cancellation/reversal document.

I already check table MSEG for the reversal article document. Field SMBLN (reference article no), SMBLP (reference item no), SJAHR(reference year) is Blank.

I also can't find the reference for the billing document in table VBRK.

Therefore, I need your advise.

I attach the screen capture to give you better idea

Thanks

The fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris are the most prominent industry events in the world, allowing brands and designers to show buyers, media and general public (shows are often streamed online) the latest trends and tell the world what's going to be in and out for the next season.

The fashion weeks held in September showcase the clothes that we will see being sold in store for Spring/Summer 2015 (SS15), and carry all the glitz, glamour and after-parties you might expect from shows of this nature.

SAP used social analytics to track the conversations going on in social media and fashion blogs, keeping a critical eye on what happened, compiling our conclusions in five reports. Here's just a small sample of the insights we took away from the 'big four' fashion weeks in September.

Social comparison of the four cities

Of the four events, New York was by far the most talked about fashion week. American brands were particularly active in social engagement.   The data, collected and analysed by SAP from each of the fashion weeks, indicated that digital marketing is becoming a huge factor for the fashion industry.

In Twitter, city #hashtags were at the top of the #hashtag list. As well as being the four most popular, city #hashtags #nyfw, #pfw, #lfw and #mfw were in the same order as the cities came in social conversation.  In addition, American brands had the highest number of #hashtags. For instance, #marcjacobs was the most popular hashtag across the four cities. This was followed by #oscardelarenta.

For Twitter handles, it was a very different matter. London was dominant on social. @Burberry and @Topshop were the two most popular handles – Burberry was particularly successful with its digital marketing, having additional handles such as @Burberry Prorsum, @Burberry S/S15 and @Burberry #LFW high ranking, according to SAP analytics.  Paris brand handles were also popular. For Twitter mentions, internationally famous @Chanel and @Dior came just after the two London handles. Usually in tweets, the audience referred to these handles directly.  Michael Kors conducted a major digital marketing campaign, constructing a specific New York Fashion Week microsite called All Access Kors, which allowed users to add an event reminder to their calendars and was viewable on desktop, mobile and tablet. It also had an editorial content hub offering content such as live streaming and behind-the-scenes photography.

The Michael Kors microsite also supported social campaigns, with live Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds incorporated directly. Hashtags helped aggregate comments, images and videos. The brand even targeted the Chinese market with live streaming and campaigns on Weixin and WeChat.

In contrast, Milan came in fourth for social conversation. Milan is a much more reserved and exclusive affair than the other three events, so it was never going to match in social media chatter.  But Milan was first for sentiment. In terms of the clothing presented, this is the land of classic brands like Armani and Dolce and Gabbana, so there was a lot of positive feedback from shows.

The social media analytics of Milan, more so than the other three cities, was much more likely to reflect the fashion trends of the country. This was because social chatter was much less influenced by digital marketing campaigning and celebrity. The Milan social audience and critics appreciated prints and styling, such as Marni flower print, Armani’s blue and nude sea inspiration, as well as bohemian and 70s styles from the designer Etro. These kind of fashions are very likely to make an appearance next year.  New York had the biggest response from social, but it was fourth for city sentiment. So getting a lot of people talking does not mean that all of it will be positive.

Comparison of Fashion Week designers

The SAP analytics proved that Armani is still a powerful international brand, ranking as the top designer on social media and with a relative lack of celebrity glitz at its catwalk show. Social media and critics seemed enjoyed Armani’s collection, demonstrating the designer’s timeless ability to remain relevant.

Burberry Prorsum was the second top designer on social media. A respected international brand, Burberry’s popularity this year was also a reflection of more than just the clothes showcased.

Like Michael Kors, Burberry focused on technology to increase its reach. The brand hosted a popular LFW live streaming and tested a Buy Now button on Twitter, where users could purchase items straight from tweets.

Colour Distribution

When it comes to the clothing lines retailers will bring out for SS15, they want to choose popular colour trends most in fashion, so the fashion-conscious are more willing to buy.  This is why using social analytics to track popular colours over the international fashion weeks is so relevant.

From the data we collected, nude was the top colour on social media, followed by the black and white combination. In third came metallic, with fourth pinkish and in fifth place blue. These results were collated by taking into account the most loved colours which are indicative of an upcoming fashion trend, as well as the most talked about ones.

Nude, black, white and metallic were always going to be popular colours, but it was interesting to see pinkish as high up as fourth. This may have been partly due to Moschino’s Barbie Girl collection which had a very visible distribution of pink!

Of course jeans and denim are always popular, and is part of the reason blue came in so highly. It could also be partly due to Armani’s popular SS15 collection, which had the sea highlighted in its theme.

Brand Vs. Celebrity

Fashion and celebrity has always had a close relationship, and our analytics proved that, with 60 percent of designers having conversation for their brand influenced by celebrity – or the mention of another famous brand in conjunction.

You have to consider the power of celebrity when it comes to the clothes the stars wear. Shoppers are influenced by famous people and actively imitate their looks – celebrity publications offline and online will often provide information on where you can copy or purchase the clothing pictured on the rich and privileged.

Top highlights for all four fashion weeks

One great benefit of social analytics from platforms like Twitter is the way you can pull out data taken in real-time.  Through analysing the data captured from across social platforms SAP was able to create a timeline for each of the fashion weeks and compare and contrast social conversations day-by-day.  In New York, Sept. 9 was particularly big on social conversation with the presence of American mass market designers J.Crew and Tory Burch, as well as (expensive) street fashion in the shape of Diesel Black Gold.

In London, it was Sept. 15, which drove major chatter with shows from big hitters like tech-savvy Burberry, as well as Tom Ford, and Mulberry. The 21st was a particularly social day in Milan, with shows by Marni (which critics praised for its flower market fashion presentation and show), as well as Dolce and Gabbana (which had a Spanish themed collection that was also well received).

In Paris,Chanel and Alexander McQueen dominated conversation on Sept. 3. Chanel Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld's feminist march show, which included placards and slogans, drew a lot of attention – some negative, but mostly positive.

Key for retailers

Regardless of who wore it better, our social analysis of the SS15 fashion weeks provides brands and retailers with a picture of what’s hot – and what’s not.  When shoppers run to designer racks next spring, retailers will know how to stock the most effective inventory while providing customer experiences that meet the expectations of their changing tastes.

Styles that struck a pose on the runway may not necessarily resonate with consumers, as the social chatter around fashion week has identified, and technology is becoming as big a factor as the models and clothes. Digital is the way fashion brands and retailers can quickly connect with customers, and we’ve seen a number of companies embrace it and take risks, often with positive results.

The majority of customers and fans will not attend any of the fashion weeks, so digital marketing initiatives such as live streaming and social media successfully build closer relationships between the designer, retailer and customer.

Hi

I am trying to upload Merchandise category and hierarcy using LSMW (BAPI/IDOC method only).

For merhcandise category

I used message type W_WGRP and it is helping me in changing or reclassification of articles. But I am not able to create new merchandise category with this. I used structure E1BPE1WGR01  with "function" field with value "005, LSMW is working fine idocs are created successfully but no new Merc Cat is created.

When I used same structure with "function" field with value "009" I get error message "Class XXX does not exist or or is not valid on this date".

For Merchandise Catrgory Hierarchy

I used idoc CLSMAS but getting error message "Keyword missing for class XXX"

has anybody uploded entire hierarchy structure using LSMW ?

The below documentation explains the enchancement approch on POS Analytics datasources,

Refer the Customer Enhancements from the POSDM structure /POSDW/EXTENSIONS (FIELDGROUP, FIELDNAME and FIELDVALUE).

Modify with the Enhancements in the BADI /POSDW/OUT_BW.
(T-code: /n/POSDW/img). The path of the BADI object as shown below:

Enhance 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL in RSA6 + append structure.

Adding and extending customer-specific fields

If you want to update your own information, for example, from the EXTENSIONS segment, into data targets, proceed as follows:

Extend the relevant extract structure

First, add the fields you require to the extract structure used to transfer the information into the data targets. For example,
the segment for customer enhancements to the POS transaction could be used to transfer your own total type for total transactions. In this case, you would,
for example, extend the /POSDW/BW_TOTAL extract structure with a customer-specific Include structure with the totals fields.

To avoid conflicts with fields delivered by SAP at a later stage, we recommend that you use a separate namespace for the field names.

Fill the fields in the /POSDW/OUT_BW BAdI exit:

reate an implementation for the /POSDW/OUT_BW BAdI.

Note that the data is already formatted in the extract structures and only has to be enhanced. The sorting of the tables transferred with CHANGING parameters can be changed using the the Business Add-In implementation if necessary.

  The IT_TRANSACTION table is sorted according to the following keys:

                      
RETAILSTOREID
BUSINESSDAYDATE
TRANSINDEX

The transactions in the extract tables have the same sequence.

    Therefore, all read accesses to internal tables should use a binary search ("BINARY SEARCH").    It is also theoretically possible to filter out record
types during extraction, for example, to reduce the data volume where necessary.
However, you must ensure that no data that is relevant for the update is deleted from the tables.

   If customer-specific record types are also requried for the update, use the alphabetical names for the record types (as described
above). In the example, above, you would indicate the customer-specific total type as record type 'S001'.

0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL

0RT_PA_TRAN_TOTALS

0RT_PA_TRAN_GDS_MOV

0RT_PA_TRAN_MOV_FIN

In POS Data Management, data can be processed for different business transactions. The data is processed in the same data structures and stored in the database. To enable improved classification of the different instances, there is a syntax for determining which substructures can be filled with a certain business transaction.

Unfortunately, BW does not process any hierarchical data structures but, instead, expects that the data that is to be updated to be delivered in a flat table (which does not contain any additional tables).

To transfer the data to BW in a suitable format

without having to use too many different data structures, the information is sent using relatively broad structures, which contain information for both the

header data and the item data.

The large memory requirement of these structures is a disadvantage but, on the other had, it is no longer necessary to locate the correct assignment of item data to header data in the update routine

because this is transferred in the same structure.

Since some POS transactions may have no items and each POS transaction may contain a very large number of items and subitems, all segments of a POS transaction must be transferred as a separate record type and indicated by a qualifier so that all

of the information is available within the update routine.

To restrict the width of the structure and because different business transactions contain very different information, there are four different DataSources that transfer information for different business transactions (see also note 786421).

Thanks and Regards,

I am new to retail and I see some posts regarding this topic.

A). But can someone explain me exactly what are the deciding factors for choosing which idoc type should be used to send data to POS system? (Prices are updated frequently yes.)

B). What information is different in WBBDLD idoc?

C). We are using assortment list functionality in Retail for listing of articles. Is it mandatory to use WBBDLD then?

Can someone shed some light how to explain business to choose which idoc type?

Thanks,

Hi

In Migo, our users scrap articles using movements 551/552 together with a specific reason code.  The GL account differs depending on what reason code is selected.  I need to change the GL account for one of these reason for movements, but cannot see exactly how to do this.  I can see the account modifiers in OMJJ and GL assignment in OBYC and have run a simulation in OMWB, but it looks to me to relate to the movement type and not the specific reason code.

I am quite new to this area and would really appreciate some guidance on how to change a GL account for a specific reason for movement.

Many Thanks

Simon

Hi Team,

We are running replenishment @ Store level & follow-on documents are getting created for cross dock, staples (put away) & direct store delivery (DSD).

For cross dock & staple system creates STO on DC & for DSD PO is getting created on Vendors.

At present system creates single STO for both cross dock & put away articles. We want to separate document type of STO based on cross dock & put away articles.

Is there any way to achieve this through customization or enhancement?

Hi all

Is there any IDOC or BAPI could be used for uploading allocation rule by LSMW? I can't find the relevant IDOC and BAPI in Retail. Need your help~~~ Thanks!

We run promotions all the time using WAK5 but we are going to run a big promo at the BMC level. Which mean some of the articles will be set below cost and we are okay with that because we have to move this product. But WAK5 is not happy we get the Error "WV108 Sales prices must be positive". Should I be using a different transaction? Or is there a setting in SAP that needs to be turned on so we can allow a negative sales price?

Hi,

My question is about GTM but i didn't found any specific discussion group about Global Trade Management

With WB21 we have created a trading contract for stock transport order (cross-company)

After that with TEW we didn't found the way to create the outbound delivery for the stock transport purchase order 

(We were able to create the good receipt with TEW and now, of course, we get a negative stock in transit (MB5T))

Do you know the way to create an outbound delivery in shipping plant for stock transport purchase order with TEW   .? (what is the task (group/step/mode/previous) to use in TEW)

Thanks for Help

hi,

I am in need of report in bi which reflects pay in, pay out, safe drop, safe withdrawal etc.

from pi -> posdm , standard create_ext proxy is used.There are nearly 4 data sources like 0RT_PA_TRAN_MOV_FIN, 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL,0RT_PA_TRAN_TOTALS,0RT_PA_TRAN_GDS_MOV have been used in current system.

Transaction types are already created and mapped from pi.

I just want to create new cube on top of any datasource to build report on it.Can anyone suggest which datasource has to be used for this type of report and what basis the proxy splits data to these datasources?

I am not sure whether anyone among these two can be used( 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL,0RT_PA_TRAN_MOV_FIN) or it s purely random choice
