Dear All,

There is a scenario in which we would require to trace idocs from POSDM system to ECC system. I have some idea on adding message type SYNCH in the outbound parameters of the partner profiles. However, it does not seem to be the only step to meet the requirement.

It would be helpful if someone can provide some details on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This process is related Enhanced Store Returns (Advanced Store Returns Management)We are not using Quality Management or material Inspection in our project. But it is showing "inspection" step is pending in the process overview ( T-code: MSR_TRC_I). How can we deactivate this step so that this report will show the traffic signal as green for the entire process. Issue here is even though all the steps completed, still traffic light is showing as " Yellow"

So request you to share your views on the same

As many of you know, my two trips to Honduras have been life-changing events and I’m looking forward to another Retail Orphan Initiative trip this summer.

• Connected Customer, the popular Digital Boardroom, and the Imagination Zone. In the Big Ideas sessions, we heard from Harry & David on supply chain orchestration in the gourmet gifts arena and Maui Jim on their B2B digital transformation. Over the 3 days, 23 presentations packed the Presentation Theatre with hundreds of attendees.

The NRF Board of Directors meeting drove home some key points about the shopping experience – both from my discussions with the CEOs as well as presentations throughout the meeting. A personalized and relevant shopping experience is now the norm in expectations by customers.　

• But there is now an emergence of one step further on this experience – the creation of a good "memory" from the experience – engaging the "emotions" of the customer. In other words, the product may be used up or need to be replaced, but the "memory" of the experience can’t be taken away. In today’s challenging economy, this is becoming more and more important.　

• The challenge for us as Retailers is how to create this memorable experience. In fact, the Harvard Business School is now working with Pauline Brown (former chairman of LVMH) to create a class on the "Aesthetics of Retail". To hear Pauline tell it, she really enjoys fine dining and the food and service is impeccable, but the "noise" of the majority of restaurants creates an experience that is less than expected. It’s all the senses that need to be positively impacted in the shopping experience.

• In my discussions with a luxury UK brand that I believe has one of the best clienteling capabilities in the industry (powered by SAP HANA) - it even includes the type of water and croissants that you prefer. For this brand, if a store associate has to leave the customer for 5 minutes to find the product in the store that the customer is wanting, then they believe the "best-in-class" experience has been lost.
  

• The other theme I heard throughout my many CIO meetings during the event was making sure the "basics" are in place in order to innovate – not only having a digital foundation, but connecting all the pieces in real-time, including the basics like inventory management and ensuring that the data is accurate, complete, and easy to access. Beyond connecting the value chain in real-time, the CIOs were intrigued by the infinite innovation opportunities of a digital transformation where they can reimagine shopper engagement, retail processes and business models.

Hi,

I am new to POSDTA and thus request you to detail your response.

Consider the following Sales scenario in POS :- The customer comes in to order a custom suit worth $2000 and pays an advance/deposit of $1000.

Now when he comes back to the Store to collect the suit, he pays a balance of $1000 and take the suit.

This scenario is configured in the JDA POS system in the following way.

A dummy article is created in POS, say XXXX. A deposit of $1000 is configured as a normal sales of article XXXX.

When the customer comes back to collect the suit worth $2000, the cashier would scan the the $2000 suit as a sales and post a return on XXXX for $1000. The customer then pays a difference of $1000 in cash and the suit.

Now I know the deposit is liability for the company and thus the $1000 must go a different G/L Account !

It is not possible for me to change the configuration in JDA POS.

Please advise how must I configure this scenario in POSDTA and what must I do on the SAP ERP end ?

(My plan was to create dummy article XXXX in SAP ERP as a value only article. In POSDTA, I could consider deposit as a normal sales transaction and let SAP ERP deal with it by assiging a special G/L account to XXXX)

Dear colleagues,

We are on SAP AFS 6.5. (nevertheless, please help solving our challenge)

In VOV8 (maintain sales doc type) we've switched on the outline agreement message.

When endusers are creating a sales order for a customer/material combination for which a contract exist, the known pop up arises. (check att "sales order popup")

In this pop up, it is only possible to click "copy". the result is that the full item is copied.

• For normal SAP, this is desired behaviour.
• For SAP AFS, this is not desired, as all relevant information is stored in the CT's schedule lines, and 1 CT item can contain easily 50 different sizes (SKU/schedule lines).

Is it therefore possible to also add the "item selection" button to the popup? this "item selection" button is available when adding an item through "sales document/create with reference"? --> By using the "create with reference", it is possible to select the desired schedule lines, adopt the quantities and insert them into your sales order. (check att "create with reference")

Regards,

Peter

Can any one please help.?

Hi,

I am very new to POSDTA so excluse my ignorance and request you to detail your reply.

I have defined two different Sales Item Types (a) Sales (b) Employee Sales and I must aggregated sales to SAP ERP and thus use WPUUMS.

Now Sales Transaction and Employee Sales Transactions need to be posted to different G/L Account in SAP ERP.

I noticed that in WPUUMS it is not possible to send Sales Item Types, that is when the IDOC is created the differentiation between Sales and Employee Sales is lost !

How should I configure this scenario ?

Please detail what configuration changes must I make in POSDTA and what needs to be done on the SAP ERP side ?

Regards, Dheeraj

Hello,

In my implementation of IS Retail.

We are using Business area for some reporting purpose from Finance.

I am looking for a configuration by which I can fetch Business area  for MM & SD transactions.

We have one to one relation of site to a business area.

Is it possible assign business area to Site?

Or some other way to derive  it?

Hi guys,

Just want to ask if you guys already encountered this problem?

I am using the standard datasource 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL. I appended some fields on it (I used BADI to provide data for the additional fields) and extracting is fine since October 6, 2015. However, Last January 5, 2016 the extractor encountered the error below every time the number of rows extracted reached 1,263,116. I read some threads about this error (but not related with this datasource) but any solution mentioned did not solve the problem. Please refer for error details below.

Some threads:

SAP Search

Before the error happened, we can extract more than 1,263,116 records so I think this is not related with number of records being extracted. Do you think one the fields exceeded the number of length of the infoobject? But if that's the case, data should be truncated right? Or is it related with the internal table? Can I still optimize my code below?

Where do you guys think is the problem? Any idea how to solve this?

Dear Retail community,

SAP Hybris Marketing 1602 has been released in mid of February, 2016.

Read what's in for Retail Omni-Channel:

Offer Recommendation and Integration with Hybris Commerce Suite

The newOffer Recommendation was released for global availability as part of the SAP Hybris Marketing 1602 release on Feb 15, 2016.

Offer Recommendation enables marketers to pick the best of all available promotional offers for every customer, in every channel, in every moment in real-time during customer conversation.

A promotional offer is a conditional promise by a seller to selected consumers in combination with an incentive, e.g.

• “If you buy product A and B today, you get 2$ off on product B”
• “If your purchase total is above 100$, you don’t pay any shipping costs”
• “If you buy this cell phone together with mobile contract, you will get a 10$ coupon for your next purchase”.

The offer recommendations are determined by sophisticated predictive analytics algorithms and models within the SAP Hybris Marketing recommendation engine. The recommendation application of Hybris Marketing is integrated with the Hybris Commerce Suite’s web content management system (WCMS), allowing the recommended offers to be proposed in the consuming Hybris Commerce channels, e.g. a web shop basket.

Enjoy,

Ingo

Hi,

I am trying the archive POS transactions. Used SARA tcode and selected /POSDW/TLF, no luck. Alternatively executed program '/POSDW/ARCHIVE_WRITE' with specific date/store combination. Still no luck and getting error message 'Store XXXX Date XX.XX.XXXX Tasks with Status that Cannot Be Archived Exist'. I also checked task status, and could see that all are in 'completed' status.

Any insights on this issue, please let me know.

Thanks,

Hello,

We use t-code WVM1 (program RWVMIPRO) to generate consignments in background job. For a particular customer it has been creating two orders (for the rest it creates one each customer).

Could you please where to look? I compared the orders and there seems no difference in business data except the materials.

Please suggest.
