Hello,
Today we use two systems for each ECC6 and IS Retail. We have interfaces between the two ssystems.
We plan to use the same system for S/4 Finance and IS-Retail.
Have you seen this type of configuration and we are looking for advice for this type of architecture ?
Best regards

Hi experts
i have a requirement, where in i want to capture purchase price from POS into ISretail. Currently our process is as follows:
POS Transactions - Goods movement, Sales and Collection are captured into IS Retail through respective idocs WPUWBW,WPUUMS & WPUTAB.
Now when the shop does the inward, the inward transaction flows thru WPUWBW and creates PO against the goods receipt. here the purchase price is picked up from Article info record, my requirement is it shud pick from the value populated in the Idoc (POS).
i tried disabling PB00 in the purchasing schema, but dint work as pbxx gets activated and it gives me net price not maintained error.
Pls help.
Regards

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.

Hi,
We have configured our system to manage Vendor hierarchy. The structure is built with 4 levels (Hierarchy nodes). Now at this outset, i would like to run a report to analyze the spend for the highest level of a hierarchy so that it would extract the details of all purchases of vendors assigned to this highlest level of Hierarchy.
Do we have any standard SAP reports to monitor such spend analysis in ECC ?
Regards,
Dilli
Hi,
What is the task used to generate WPUKSR IDoc from POS DM.
I don't see any standard task provided by SAP for this in POS DM configuration.
If any one has used it earlier please share your inputs.
Thanks,
Vikrant.
All good things start with a challenge.
Physical stores play a crucial role in retail business. Did you know that Amazon plans to open more retail stores? Did you know that most online shoppers visit a physical store either before or after they buy product, even if they eventually buy the product online?
Fact: retail companies with a physical store presence capture the majority of retail sales.
However, the shopping experience still needs a lot of improvement. For example, 2 in 5 consumers don’t complete a transaction because they don’t like the level of customer service they receive (American Express Global Consumer Barometer) while 86% of consumers say they are willing to pay more for a better customer experience (American Express).
Solution:
How are retailers responding to these challenges?
Retailers need to re-imagine the business processes at their physical stores and enable these stores to compete against online shopping. To accomplish this, stores must invest in solutions that address the widening capability gap between online and physical stores. First, we must invest in solutions that foster a better understanding of customer interests so that we can better engage customers across their shopping journey. Second, stores need a better accounting of store floor inventories for the purpose of both managing costs but also to enable frictionless customer experiences across channels. Digital solutions can enhance the store experience. These solutions are enabled by devices such as tablets, smartphones, in-store kiosks, video screens, digital signage, interactive hangers, augmented reality, use of social proof, virtual reality, and of course retail sensors. Stores that invest in digital solutions and technology with a unified commerce perspective will better compete against online and win back their customers’s loyalty.
Strategy:
What is an efficient strategy for digitizing retail stores?
We need to integrate the digital edge to the digital core. In order to digitize retail stores, we need to: (1) establish an infrastructure at the store 
level, (2) capture and process the required data, and (3) add business context from the digital core to analyze and enable end users to take meaningful action in a responsive and real-time fashion. We can then build apps that will improve shopping experience, increase productivity, ensure shelves are stocked with what customers want, deliver a low TCO solution, and provide near real-time access to information from the digital core at the edge anywhere, anytime.
And that is the goal of our co-innovation with Intel.
SAP and Intel Co-innovation:
How can SAP and Intel help retailers to digitize retail stores?
Let’s see what we can do with our SAP standard solutions today and where there is an opportunity to innovate.
We have SAP HANA, which is a revolutionary platform that helps to perform real-time analytics and develop and deploy real-time applications. 
You can also pair SAP HANA with SAP Fiori to deliver great user experiences. The HANA Platform contains proven business logic and can integrate cloud apps for all different areas of business. It can also help to ingest IoT data from sensor to cloud via IoT Services, acting as a digital enablement platform on which developers and our partner ecosystem can innovate.
Also, we have the SAP Fiori apps for In-Store Merchandising that are available as a SAP standard solution. The apps are responsive and help to improve customer 
service and to increase the productivity of store associates. As a testament to SAP In-Store Merchandising solution, we have over 200 retailers in different segments and sizes that are using SAP for In-Store Merchandising.
Now, what is missing? Our solution (which is a part of the digital core) does not yet take advantage of opportunities to digitize edge processes that can yield further efficiencies for our customers. For example, we support receiving of stock by scanning the handling unit and products but we don’t support sensor based or automated receiving, we support stock information but they are not based on real-time sensor feed and we support print labels but we don’t support digital labels.
So, what can we do?
This year at NRF Intel released a new platform called the Intel® Retail Sensor Platform. It connects and collects data from retail sensors (through RFID tags), enables seamless and secure data flow between the edge devices and the cloud, connects to SAP HANA, and it ingests and analyzes the data in near real-time. The retail sensor data can also be combined with other data, such as video, and quickly analyzed to provide a cohesive, near-real-time portrait of store activity.
As part of this solution, our colleagues from Products & Innovation, LoB Digital Assets & IoT at the Waterloo Lab are developing edge processing and accelerator software that leverages the SAP intelligent edge. It extends the SAP data and processes from the core to the edge to help enrich IoT sensor data with business context enabling real-time decision-making. In addition, it accelerates local applications and workflows at the edge.
With these key components we can re-imagine the In-Store business model and processes. Additionally, we can support a range of new use cases. The first part of the Intel and SAP Co-innovation aims to improve In-Store customer service at fashion retail stores by leveraging retail sensors to make In-Store Business models more efficient.
We originally had a number of use cases on our list that could be supported based on our combined technologies. In a design thinking workshop we decided upon three use cases to start with:
- Misplaced Product Detection & Correction,
- Real-time Inventory & Automated Receiving, and
- Shrinkage Detection.
The benefits that we have with this joint solution include: improving the shopping experience, increasing productivity of store associates, making sure shelves are stocked with what the customers want, reducing solution TCO, and providing real-time access to information from the digital core to the digital edge, anywhere, anytime.
And this is how our POC demo dashboard looks like:
And this is the link to a short video: Link
What has been done so far and what are the next steps?
The first part of the co-innovation was defined in a DTS event in Chicago. We conducted review sessions with some fashion retailers and the feedback confirmed that we are heading in the right direction. A POC demo dashboard was built and was successfully showcased at SAPPHIRE (see the attached picture). As for the next steps, we will review the scope with more customers and recruit pilot candidates, we will set pilot projects live and build references in 2016, we will build a value chain by enhancing the scope with other teams, and we will plan to showcase at Retail Forum 2016 and NRF 2017.
Business value:
Brian Krzanich, the CEO of Intel, quoted during a live session with Bill McDermott at SAPPHIRE: “…On average retail has a 65% accuracy rate on inventory. Every 3% of inventory accuracy improvement tends to be about 1% of growth….” Link to video: This is the link to video (see at ~ 1:52:18):http://events.sap.com/sapandasug/en/session/26848
Summary:
Our goal is to complement our standard solutions with customer pilots. We want to build customer references and we want to show that Retail companies – such as fashion retailers – can use Intel and SAP to carry out business transformation to ultimately improve customer service
Please contact us if you know of a fashion retailer who would be interested to become a pilot customer.

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.
Nimo.
Hi All,
In POSDM, the task status that is reflected in /posdw/tstat table is showing different values as compared to workbench.
In the workbench if we select transactions with - warning, error and unprocessed, then there are no entries visible for a particular date range.
However, if in the /posdw/tstat table there are entries with status 1 (ready) and 2 (error). Assuming that transactions are not closed if any of the associated tasks are open.
Is there any reason for this difference.
Also, to change the status of these tasks which are still showing in 1 or 2 status in the TSTAT table is there a better (like in mass) than /posdw/tsch.
Thanks in advance.
With Best Regards,
Nimo.
Hi experts,
I need to know where is the configuration to set, in my J_1BNFDOC / J_1BNFLIN structures, the item will be in material level (only MARA-MATNR) or SKU level (material with grid value).
I have a document type that the nota fiscal is created in grid level, and another one that is created with all grids added in the material code.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
dear experts,
can anyone explain me the use of wrf_al - Material Lists.
we have a requirement to group our materials in some lists.

Today’s shopper is a demanding creature. They want what they want, when and where they want it, and they have a low tolerance level for retailers who cannot deliver on their expectations.
If every consumer wanted the same thing from their shopping experiences, this would still be a big challenge for retail organisations, but they don’t. The explosion in channels and touchpoints has created multiple, complex journeys to purchase, which require retailers to be relevant in hundreds of different ways, at thousands of moments in time. It can sometimes feel like an insurmountable task.
But before we become too overwhelmed by the scope of consumer demands, let’s focus on the positives. There are many retailers out there who are already delivering on their customers’ expectations; that is why they have a loyal fan base. And the secret to their success is that they ‘pick their battles’, and focus on getting right the things that matter most to their audience.
So, what is it that shoppers feel makes or breaks their retail encounters? And how can retailers prioritise change to deliver greater satisfaction in these areas? Rather than trying to presuppose the voice of the consumer, SAP went directly to them, surveying 1,000 UK shoppers on their attitudes and expectations of the retail experience.
Our findings will be released in a brand new report very shortly, but before then, we can reveal some bottom line truths about the modern retailer/consumer relationship.
Firstly, industry instincts that the pace of retail is moving faster than ever are definitely on the mark. We found that not only have shoppers’ expectations changed in the last five years, they have shifted even in the past 12 months. Consumers now want more goods, delivered quicker, with greater personalisation and speed of service, than ever before.
Secondly, the consequences of letting customers down in the areas where their priorities have changed the most are severe. If being able to return an online purchase to a store is what matters most to them, for example, not being able to carry out this action can stop them shopping with that retailer for months – possibly even altogether.
However, there is hope for retailers that cannot yet deliver in these critical importance areas. Thirdly, shoppers are willing to make a ‘tolerance trade off’, accepting some form of incentive from the retailer to assuage their level of disappointment. In the case of returns, that could be free shipping to post it back; it could be some form of discount on the product they choose to replace the item they are returning. Getting this trade off right is a question of each retailer knowing and negotiating with their customer base.
We’re very excited about the findings of this report, and we’re going to be delving more deeply into the statistics over the coming weeks, to understand exactly what it is that defines a great retail experience. Not only that, but we’re going to help retailers pick their battles based on these insights, to create a roadmap for nurturing closer, more responsive shopper relationships.
