Hi Friends,
I have a scenario in SAP POSDM, where promotions is carried by coupon article by separate segment in POSDW/MON0 and get aggregate in same fashion like Article by number of articles for day & store combination and Coupon article as well. As of now no link in IDoc for relevant sold article & Coupon article along with promotion number
E.g.
But we want to capture this promotion details & need see link between Main article & Coupon article in Idoc to post to ECC.
I have attached screenshot from Mon0 & IDoc for easy understanding.
If anyone has worked on this scenario then please help me in this.
Thanks

Hi All,
The below question is for reference as we are not having the scope of technical analysis.
Does the FM - /POSDW/SALES_QUERY_RFC read the /posdw/aggr & /posdw/aggr01 tables while fetching the data.
If yes, then does the Processing Status of POS Aggregate have any role with respect to the FM fetching sales data.
Thanks in advance.

In the digital transformation of business, re-imagining shopper engagement ensures a meaningful customer experience. There is very little more important to business success than a positive customer experience.
Brookshire Grocery Company (BGC) of Tyler, Texas, knows something about SAP's digital innovation. The success that comes from practical digital implementation with SAP. BGC used the SAP Business Suite to improve customer engagement. Their enhanced digital ensures that employees can make the quick decisions they need. This creates a positive experience for their clientele.
One of BGC's core beliefs is in offering the most personable service to customers. SAP’s retail solutions have provided them the necessary means of doing that. Their enhanced customer engagement creates a truly positive shopping experience. BGC knows that well trained and knowledgeable staff are needed to this experience and that digital data management is the key to making it all happen.
You cannot have a successful retail business without satisfied customers. A re-imagined customer engagement results in brand loyalty and returning customers for repeat business. The single in-store transaction is no longer the only key touch point. The re-imagined process deals with all of a consumer's digital and physical touch points.
Today's consumers have heightened expectations. The retailer who provides product or service and related information when asked will retain the most customers. One who fails in this soon learns how competitive the retail world is. Consumers quickly abandon a retailer who cannot provide what they need/what when they need it.
Leveraging in-store digital technologies is the way to address meeting fast chaning shopper expectations. In-store digital technologies can seriously reduce both the number and the duration of manual tasks. This puts the focus and service back on the customer faster than ever before. Digital price labels that update automatically cut price changing shelf label work by digitizing the manual steps. Digital on-shelf availability confirmation answers questions before they get asked. Today's customers can have access to interactive technology at their finger tips. This can be provided either in the store or online through the consumer's Smart Phone.
The most important touch point for many customers is their contact with sales personnel. Therefore, a well trained sales force usually means a more positive shopper experience. So, training is essential. Moreover, training in smaller chunks means less time off the sales floor. An e-learning experience is a digital answer to this. Smaller digital training modules keep staff training current. So there is no need for longer classroom training sessions.
Also worth noting is the fact that social media usage continues to grow. This is a useful tool for direct promotions. However, it can also be used for employee communications and recruiting. It is also helpful in providing brand awareness, customer service, and targeted marketing.
A personalized approach to marketing is the way of the future for retail. Customized marketing reaches the right consumers at the right time. This is done be refining target markets. And refining them to the point that your market is a "segment of one," is the ultimate goal. Speaking directly to an individual's personal preferences creates a perfect relationship for commerce.
Digital innovation is beginning to hone this marketing idea to a solid advantage. Through this technology, retailers engage consumers on a more personalized level. Here, digitally alert consumers tailor their preferences and retailers tune their marketing accordingly. Consumers communicate their loyalty preferences and create an individual, automated, dynamic digital footprint.
Personalized marketing targets select consumer identities. Campaigns can be targeted based on the customer's history, interactions, contexts, and behaviors. Marketing - directed to the customer's individualized values. Allsorts of things then become possible. Retailers can offer assortments, pricing, promotions, or fulfillment options preferred by the customer. This creates further opportunities beyond meeting current needs and interests. Cross-selling and up-selling become possible based on a consumer's history. Home Shopping Europe (HSE) is a sister station to the Home Shopping Network. HSE is a very satisfied SAP client. They use these principles to create what is called their 360-degree customer engagement.
There are some other exciting options for your technological transformation. In-store options include smart shopping carts with sensors and smart mirrors. These mirrors can produce a virtual reality which reveals product information and recommendations. They come in handy in "smart" fitting rooms.
There are new customer identification media that recognize a finger print or the iris of your eye. Online options include what is called "gamification." This is the creation of game-like experiences based on shopping choices. They have rules of play and tokens, or point scoring.. Game-like qualities encourage further and richer consumer engagement.
Enhanced shopper engagement improves the effectiveness of customer touch points. The positive impact of digital innovation is most notable where it contacts the consumer. It can be summed up in four primary channels:
Digital innovation starts with re-imagining shopper engagement. To be most effective, every customer touch point should involve interactive technology. Demanding consumers need to see the value creation in your business model. To do that, they will need an enhanced engagement with you and your products.

Dear Retail community,
this blog is about a new feature "Article Availability & Sourcing (OAA)" in SAP CAR, as part of the new Application Bundle Feature Pack 3, a key component of the SAP Retail Omnichannel Commerce architecture.
Consumers do not think in "sales channels", but perceive the retailer as a "brand". Hence they expect changing from webshop to mobile app to store is harmonized as "one" channel.
When Silos or (separated) Multi-channels become OMNIchannel, processes like stock availability check, sourcing, campaign management, promotion pricing ... become OMNI as well. When sales channels - virtually - become one, IT processes have to support it.
Omnichannel Article Availability and Sourcing in Retail
This blog focusses onthe stock availability check and reservation across channels, as well as sourcing in an SAP Retail Omnichannel business.
Article Availability
Reliable and consistent availability information across sales channels is key for omnichannel retail businesses.
This causes a massive volume in terms of availability requests from the online channels, which must be matched with computationally expensive availability calculations in the backends.
Due to the multitude of channels and fulfillment ways, the available sourcing options are greatly increased, asking for more flexible and intelligent sourcing strategies that are not supported by conventionals ERP systems today.
The new Omnichannel Article Availability and Sourcing (OAA) solution is based on a new common cross-channel availability module in SAP CAR Feature Pack, that consists of different data sources for distribution centers (DC's) and stores:
For every article group, or if required even for a single article, thresholds for a traffic light availability status can be defined in CAR (using the HANA rules framework) that can be used to populate a rough stock indicator. APIs into CAR allow real-time requests from consuming sales channels into CAR, e.g. from a web shop, mobile app, clienteling solution of a store associate, etc.
For the sake of performance and scalability, those direct calls into CAR should be reduced to a minimum.
Therefore CAR availability information, in particular rough stock indicators, is periodically replicated into the SAP Hybris Commerce platform, to relieve CAR and serve less important availability requests using the locally replicated repository. Examples for such locally processed requests are search result lists, product lists, …, where ultimate stock accuracy is not mandatory.
Undisturbed by those requests, more important availability requests demanding a higher accuracy are processed in real-time by the CAR based services, e.g. for shopping cart items, or during checkout.
Sourcing Determination
During checkout, a sourcing determination can be performed within CAR at runtime. A framework is provided to easily implement customer specific sourcing rules and needs.
Temporary Stock Reservation
During the order checkout, right after the sourcing has been completed, a temporary stock reservation is triggered within CAR, reducing the order stock from the inventory repository. This ensures overselling and secures the shopping cart items for the consumer in the checkout.
Once the order is transferred from SAP Hybris Commerce into IS Retail, it is also transferred via SLT into CAR. When the order is picked and fulfilled in SD, the order status changes, which reduces the DC stock for the given product accordingly. This is considered in the next ATP run, which triggers a reset of the reservations in CAR.
System Requirements
the Omnichannel Article Availability and Sourcing stretches across the software components SAP ERP Retail, SAP CAR and SAP Hybris Commerce 6.0 and provides integration. Therefore multiple different software component releases play together. Here the release requirements of the various components:
Stay tuned for updates of this blog.

Folks
The requirement from the business here is to hide a few screens, tabs & fields from the MM42 transaction, while maintaining article & site data.
This may be done using screen variants in a transaction variant. Do we have a better option other than generating a transaction variant? screen catalog or groups?
Please let me know. Thank you.
Dear Consultants and Users,
I am new in SAP IS Retail world and I really need your advice. I am sorry in advance if my questions seems very basic.
I have a scenario in the store like this. In the store, they have transactions like this:
1. Selling of finished goods
2. Selling of Services (repair of bags and rent tools).
Is it possible to post the transaction of selling of finished goods and selling of services from this site to SAP IS Retail ?
because my concern is like this.
I am planning to use WPUUMS idoc to post the selling of finished goods --> with this idoc it will generate article document and billing document.
what idoc will i use to post the selling of services ? --> because for services, the article document should not be generated, because there is no goods movement right.
for the setting in SAP IS Retail, in the SPRO --> POS Interface --> Inbound --> Aggregated sales control , we can manage the posting of article document or not , but when i think it thoroughly, with this configuration i need to choose whether i post selling of finished goods OR selling of services. what i need is to post both of them in same site. is it possible ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hallo together,
I'm looking for a solution to replicate from a SAP retail system material inspection plans
in a connected SAP EWM system.
Is there anybody who can help me?
BR
Frank
I'm currently a student at CSULB, in a logistics course. For our capstone project, we have to build an e-commerce solution for a major retailer of Home Electronics and Apparel. Think Target in scale.
We've decided to go with the following solution. Since they already have a SAP ERP solution in place, we want to integrate Hybris into that ERP. The difficulty is determining the costs and I've been banging my head up against a wall trying to figure this out. There is so much conflicting information out there.
For the Front End development aspect of it, I was going to propose a budget of 1,120,000. That includes the actual custom design web store, integration with Hybris as well as the license and integration. For upkeep of the store, I was thinking around 840k / year
For hosting, since SAP Hybris is self-hosted, we were thinking something like 107k a year. Our assumption is 5 million users / 50 million page views.
The trick is Customer Relations management. I have NO idea how much this should cost. And I can't even tell if the cost is part of our ERP. It seems that SAP handles that separately.
My head hurts so much lol

Hi guys and girls,
I have a rather simple question:
We use a batch input to create hundreds of articles every week. We set the listing procedure to 02 - listing without qualification.
What transaction can I run to list all new articles at once or is there a job I can set to run at night?
The only transactions I can find need an assortment to run and I need a listing without the merchandise category being assigned to an assortment.
Cheers, hope you can help,
Thomas
There's more than a few key factors retail businesses should be aware of when deciding whether an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system is right for them. Not only is the cost related to the size of the business an important consideration, but also just how useful or necessary ERP will be to the business over the course of several years. In the past it was quite common to see on-premises ERP systems, but lately cloud-based ERP systems have shown up and grown exponentially, changing the playing field accordingly.
In my experience, business size will often play a role in whether or not a cloud ERP is the right choice for any given enterprise. Generally, most cloud ERP services work better for small to medium sized businesses, since there's less operational complexity involved. A cloud-based system can be effective for larger, established businesses as well, but are particularly effective if you've got a business that is currently in high-growth mode, as they can rely on a very fast deployment. It's important to note, however, that you'll probably need lots of help from IT professionals when it comes to getting ERP systems up and running – preferably from certified experts who have followed a recognized program such as SAP’s ERP training. Another common hurdle which requires expert advice is configuring remote functionality on your mobile and smart devices.
Budgeting
While traditionally setting up an ERP system has required a substantial upfront investment, today these same systems often work just fine with a steady level of funding allocated over a given period of time. And while budgeting money is obviously important when figuring out how your company will use ERP software, the budgeting of time should be considered just as important. The old cliché still holds true, after all - time is money. While the amount of time it takes to implement these systems can be hard to estimate with much accuracy, systems that are based on SaaS models are usually implemented faster, this because they have less need for infrastructure and typically require less customization. Also, once implemented, these ERP systems have a much quicker deployment for services that require little more than internet access and a web browser. Along with money and time, the sheer volume of master data is another important consideration when considering cloud based ERP systems. Companies with higher server requirements may find that cloud solutions significantly reduce storage and maintenance expenses.
Other Considerations
There are a couple of other considerations to be made when it comes to choosing whether a cloud-based ERP system is the right choice for your particular small business. Specifically, those enterprises that have SaaS ERP systems will find they might need to be implementing updated versions on a regular basis, which could result in higher training costs or other disruptions. A sudden end of life for a piece of software could potentially result in a loss of access to data and software in the company. Migrating large files over the internet can also increase the risk of data loss, as well as being a time-consuming process in general. Businesses that require immediate results might want to avoid these systems due to the increased latencies often associated with them.
A Viable Alternative: The Two-Tiered Approach
If your small business isn't quite ready to completely commit to a cloud-based ERP system yet, you can also turn to something of a two-tiered approach. This involves keeping a primary ERP system at a corporate level while enabling each unit of the business to select a second ERP system. This way, an organization could manage hybrid situation of sorts, where they have a combination of on premises and cloud-based ERP software to meet their requirements while maintaining overall flexibility.
Should I choose cloud based ERP? As we established earlier, cloud-based ERP systems can be a great choice for smaller businesses that have very little IT infrastructure and/or business complexity. As a result, small to midsize companies with mobile access needs that want to lower their initial investment costs should consider cloud-based ERP as a viable option for them, while larger businesses can also capitalize on hybrid or two-tier systems to suit their needs. There are considerations to be made, such as the size of your business, your flexibility in regards to data, and whether or not you can afford to reach out for help from IT professionals to get your system up and running, all of which need to be assessed on a case by case basis, as not every solution will work the same for every small business. So while the final decision might not be obvious, there's a wide variety of reasons why cloud-based ERP systems remain a viable option.
Hi all,
By default, when we run WRP1 the result is always generate PO.. How if i want that WRP1 generate PR and in every site generate different PR types.. What customization in SPRO that i must change? In which path?
