Hi All,

I am trying to do a transaction in WPUK, idoc is getting generated successfully, but in WPER the error is showing as "Interface Profile for movement type 251 does not exist".

I have maintained standard SAP inbound profile SAPD for testing purpose.  Please guide what could be the reason for the error.  Thank you

Hi All

We have defined price point PCS001 at organization level/ distribution chain/ article group. Right now we are using it for VKP5 and this price point rounding apply for all organization.

But right now we have a scenario where some articles are regulated (10% planned mark up) and we cannot apply price point rounding

These regulated articles belong to a group of article where not all the articles are regulated. So for the same group of articles we have articles where we have to apply price point and other articles where we shouldn´t apply price points.

The standard configuration for price point  is only at article group level (See attached file). Is there any way to defined that for these specific regulated articles do not apply price point in VKP5.

Your help is very much appreciatte.

Hi Friends,

How listing source C is populated in WLK1 table? Based on the functions/transactions the listing source field is populated in WLK1 table. When and in which scenario listing source C is populated in WLK1 table?

Hi ALL

I´ve added a new field  FILGR (store groups) to the price catalog field following these steps. This for Retail Pricing and not SD Pricing.

1. Create data element ZFILGR in SE11 as a data type.

2. Include it in pricing communication structure, KOMPAZ and  KOMKAZ

3. Include ZFILGR in the field catalog. SPRO (Define Condition Tables/ Allow Fields)

4. Create the table with the new field ZILGR. SPRO (Define Condition Tables/ Create Condition Table)

5. Create a Z... sequence adding the new table. SPRO (Define Access Sequence/ Create Z Access Sequence)

6. Mantain condition record with the new key. The new field appear, but is does not appear the match code for the new field? How I solve this issue?

7. Another doubt I have is If it necesary in this case that is  for Retail Pricing (VKP5)  and not SD Pricing  to configure User Exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP

Your help is very much appreciatte.

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well!

We are planned to upgrade the BW 7.01 to BW 7.31 version with BI Cont 747 SP06.

We made the many customization in POSDM in current version.

Like: WPUFIB and WPUBON BADI.

Are any impact on these customization once we do the upgradation to BI Cont 747 SP06?

Could you please help and suggest on this upgradation?

Thanks in advance for your wonderful support!

Hi,

We have implemented Direct Store Delivery - paper based using Shipment type, when we access the Tour in Route settlement we are unable to make changes to the quantities of the items (Transaction is /DSD/DE_ENTRY).  It keeps saying 'no delivery specified'.  I have tried testing various things but have not been able to understand why I am not able to add a material or change a quantity. 

PLEASE HELP!

Kind Regards,

Erato

My clint has swithced on multi listing to use the functionality of general assortment.

we send WP_PLU everyday based on the change pointors.

After going live with general assortment articles we noted that articles listed via general assortments are not genrating the idocs  WP_PLU  ( RWDPOSUP) .

I tested for  WPMI. it is able to send the articles which are listed via general assortment.

I think change pointor may be missing  in my system for the general assortment

I maintained in BD52

WP_PLU 

WRS1WRSZDATAB

WRS1WRSZDATBI

i have three questions

1.  in the BDCP2 is it only message type WP_PLU will be picked for generating the WP_PLU idoc or it can pick other message types also like RS0034 or RS00062

2. do I need to maintain any more settings in BD52

for the message type WP_PLU

3.  Do i need any dummy initailization?

if i don't do dummy initialization will it stop RWDPOSUP to generate the IDOC's

What is the buzz all about?  Apparently the Internet-of-Things is poised to become the Next Big Thing. And we need to wrap our heads around it. And I had no idea how far-reaching it was about to become.

When did the Internet-of-Things begin?

A little more than fifteen years ago, when the dot-com boom/bust cycle was well underway, my colleagues and I were busy creating new "virtual stores" that would allow shoppers to buy things without going to a bricks-and-mortar physical store. The fledgling e-commerce world was disrupting the supply chain and store operations, and the cost of moving goods efficiently became paramount.

In response to a need to optimize supply chains, MIT's Auto-ID Center had academics and founding companies including SAP re-think the movement of goods. They were working on Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags and other technologies to allow physical things like products, palettes, and shipping containers to identify themselves. The Auto-ID Center's Kevin Ashton (formerly with Proctor & Gamble, yet another SAP supply chain customer) recognized the potential of what they were doing. By adding sensors to these physical things and networking them together, it was possible to understand the journey from factory-to-customer. By coining the term "Internet-of-Things", Ashton took the notion of self-identification and smart sensors even further.

The Lowly RFID Tag

What I came to understand was how much further this took the lowly and somewhat misunderstood RFID tag. The point was that technology made it possible to put an identification tag on an item for a few cents, and perhaps for a bit more money, we could embed sensors for temperature, humidity, motion and more.  We could start to understand where the item was, and what it experienced on its journey. Retailers like Marks & Spencer in the UK tested temperature-sensing tags on frozen food to identify spoilage risk, Gillette followed razor blades from factory to store, and apparel manufacturers started source-tagging garments before they left the factory. Shipping containers got sensors and GPS, so goods could be tracked around the planet.

Meanwhile, consumers insatiable demand for higher-speed internet access resulted in near-ubiquitous networking capability in most developed countries. Wireless internet at home and at work bloomed. Combined with ever-cheaper processors, an opportunity emerged to connect new things to the internet. Thus, the Internet-of-Things started to bear fruit.  For under $25, any experimenter could create a smart sensor and put it on the internet. The proliferation of single-board computers such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi meant you had real computing power that could run just about any program, very, very cheaply. The microcontrollers used on an Arduino could be purchased for a few dollars, and could be coupled with sensors and RF modems to transmit their data.

Will we see IoT adoption?

I had to ask myself why bother?  What possible use would this be? Is this ever going to happen?

As of late 2014, it is estimated there were over 14 billion connected "things", whether PCs, routers, printers, thermostats, smoke detectors, temperature sensors, and thousands of other devices I was oblivious to.  It is predicted that by 2020, there will be over 50 billion connected things. Already we are seeing cars and trucks with internet connectivity, telematics enabling remote vehicle diagnostics, and smart vending machines that can detect customers and market to them.  The growth is explosive, not linear.

Connect - Transform - Reimagine

So what is SAP's plan to deal with it?  Three words. "Connect - Transform - Reimagine".  SAP Internet of Things for Business is a strategy to:

• Connect with billions of internet-enabled things to gain new insights .. by combining business data with intelligent analysis of new signals from devices, networks, and more
• Transform the way you make decisions and take action .. by executing operational processes through predictive and automated response all the way to the edge of the network
• Reimagine your customer's experience .. by empowering innovative new business models, value-added services and customer-responsive products

As a so-called retail "digital czar", my role is to understand what this means, how it brings value to our customers. For me, the challenge is to understand the disruptive changes caused by the Digital Economy, how business networks are facilitating new kinds of commerce and collaboration, and how the people, processes, and systems need to adapt and respond.

The "connect" part was easy. Whether it was a Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal, kiosk, motion sensor that wakes up a digital sign or powers up lighting in the freezer section of your local grocer, it was clear.  The murky part was discovering how embedded and nearly invisible Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices were. Like the payment terminal that processes your debit card. Or the energy management system that dims lights and reduces air conditioning. Or the infrared camera that knows traffic is flowing in the centre of the store. Or the "call-for-assistance" button in the fitting room. Or parking lot and loading dock sensors that know when a spot is full. Or the routers and access points that can detect your Bluetooth, WiFi, or smartphone's signal and identifiers.  Plus the forklift battery charger, conveyors, and smart racking or carousels in the distribution center.

The "transformation" part took me a while - what we're talking about is being able to use real, hard data that is coming in every millisecond, and use that to influence our behavior, system operation, or how we deal with a situation. Ultimately to do it faster and better with higher productivity than the competition.

The motive to "Reimagine" the customer experience is perhaps the hardest to envisage. But really its about using what we gather from IoT to better serve our customers explicit and implicit needs and wants. As Steve Jobs used to say, customers don't know what they want. Well, not sure whether  you agree, but I think you see the logic behind using every bit of information that  you can to learn about customer behavior and influence their journey on the path-to-purchase.

With the Jones Hypermarket demo, and other "future store" scenarios, we could heatmap the flow of traffic around the store, and know where people were NOT going, allowing for layout changes. Or predict when customers were going to need something that they had previously browsed.

SAP HANA Cloud Platform for the IoT

The SAP HANA Cloud Platform for the IoT was announced in May 2015, and true to our roots, SAP realized that an in-memory platform-as-a-service offering was what businesses need.  By combining the HANA Cloud IoT Services with HANA Cloud Integration, and the HANA Big Data Platform with in-memory engines, we get a pretty slick way to enable SAP, partners, and customers to create IoT that can scale massively, yet connect to the core business processes they get from SAP business suite and other family applications.

So when we look at the Retail world, the four areas of optimization that I've learned really make sense to look at can include:

Each of the realistic scenarios is worth a blog of its own, perhaps in the future. The key point here is SAP is ready with the platform to bring all this data in and enable the analysis and response to the data, and to allow you to create your next disruptive competitive advantage.

To learn more,  you can contact me, and visit: http://go.sap.com/solution/internet-of-things.html

I'm very excited by the potential there is for innovation leveraging the Internet-of-Things, and now that I know it can bring efficiencies and help with customer and employee engagement, it seems that it is worth adopting.

Hi Experts,

We have a problem (as in subject line) in POSDM.  We are not able to send the data from POSDM to BW automatically. The Transaction is always rejected and returns an error Message no. RSQU010  There are still no BW systems connected to the DataSource. It occurs when I include the Loyalty in the transaction.

Anyone can help me to this issue?

Many thanks.

Hello Experts,

I am new with the POSDM. I don't know how the transaction extracted to BW. From tcode /N/POSDW/MON0,is it direct extracted to Tables i.e /POSDW/TLOGF? Because I have an error issue: There are still no BW systems connected to the DataSource / Message no. RSQU010.

What is the flow of Transaction from POSDM and How transaction extracted to BW from different tables of POSDM?

Thank You and God Bless!

Hi, im trying to create a integration between sap b1 + sap pos using taskcentre, but im trying to match the items database of sap b1 to create a file named PLUTXN.ASC using the sap pos format i think 100+ fields comma separated ,,,. Theres any guide that i can follow to match the correct fields of sap b1 db to the plutxn file following the sap pos file format.

thank you.

Hello Experts,

I am trying to extract data from POSDM transaction. I have created a transaction from /N/POSDW/MON0 manually. But when I executed manually the Delta Loading to extract the data to PSA level. No data available. I have already tried to re init the loading but the same error, No data available extracted into PSA level. Upon checking at /POSDW/TLOGF Table the transactions I have created are available.

Anyone Experts here can help me for this issue? Many Thanks!

Best Regards,

Hi:

After I create promotion already.  how to send promotion data to POS pls

Although there are many blogs about customer insight, lately the retail industry is getting more focused on the overall topic.

Not only the example of beer and diapers (place them together to boost either sales), it is a unseen battle for more knowledge about the customer. And this need data, data and furthermore...data. It is true: every company want's to know as much as possible about their customers. While CRM is a big topic in the indsutry (business to business), retail is still struggling to implement scenarios, that really work.

More than once I have seen, that retailers offer me a way to connect and register with them, but then: nothing happens. No offers, interesting infromationsor anything. Especially smaller / mid size retailers seem to have trouble to not only gather data, but to USE them. (In a way, that doesn't repell the customer and still brings a benefit to the company!)

But even big size retailers are experiencing some obstacles:

Why is that?

1st - most/all customers are unknown to the retailer. If not using a corporate shopper's card to safe money or collect points, it is still hard to get personal information about the customer. (By the way: even if the company does have a corporate shopper's card, the customer can still decide if he/she wants to use it!)

2nd - most companies are using a payment provider for credit / debit card traffic. (Simply, becaue they do not want get into the target, when a credit / debit card is being misused and the customer's data is saved on their own hardware.) So this is not giving the retailer any information at all.

3rd - Besides actively posting in social media, a company can gather great insides, what people think about the retailer.
BUT: how can a company connect the shopping behaviour of a certain customer to his social media profile(s)?

4th - Mobile / smartphone apps are mostly expensive, are having a short lifecycle and if the community does not like them, it is possible to get a lot of laughter for having one of many shopping apps, that nobody needs and does not give any customer a good reason to install and keep on his mobile device.

5th - The POS / cash register data is anonymous until I find a creative way to connect with one of the above mentioned processes. (shopper's card plus app plus ...)

I am more than curious to hear / read about the communties journey and SAP's technology (social media plus CRM plus CAR plus HANA).

Will SAP's new technology stack finally get retail business closer to all customer's? I sure hope so.

Thanks for reading my first blog!

Hello,

Do you know if the AT-Relevant (allocation table relevant) field can be changed in the inbound delivery via online or IDOC/BAPI?

If that's not possible, I've a different question.

When an allocation table is created against the ASN/Inbound Delivery/Shipment Notification, is there anyway to capture the storage location that is in the inbound delivery to the allocation table so that the same storage location is copied to the follow on documents such as a picking location in the outbound delivery for an STO?

Thanks,

Maruthi
