To keep maintenance efforts to a minimum, modules should be created automatically rather than manuallyA profile module is created automatically in the article maintenance for each assortment and merchandise category.Shelf modules are generated in the maintenance for layout modules that are assigned to the assortments. They map the layout or rather the arrangement of the merchandise in a shelf for space management.A promotion module contains the articles that need to be dealt with together in a promotion or a promotion theme respectively.Rack jobber modules are modules for those vendors who deliver and present articles in stores themselves.

Goods Movements *


Goods Movements - Goods receipt (GR) Goods movement in which a goods receipt from an external vendor (or from production) is posted. A goods receipt leads to an increase in the warehouse stock. - Goods issue (GI) Goods movement in which a merchandise shipment to the customers, an article withdrawal or issue, or consumption is posted. A goods issue leads to a decrease in the warehouse stock. - Stock transfer A stock transfer consists of removing articles from one storage location and putting them away in another storage location. Stock transfers can take place either within the same site or between two sites (distribution centers or stores). - Transfer posting A transfer posting is a general term for stock transfers and changes to an article's stock identification or category. It is irrelevant whether the posting relates to a physical movement or not.

This data can only be stored for the whole client. Examples are order unit, regular vendor indicator, article number, and country of origin.

CapCap*.Purchasing groups are not data retention levels; they are used as a selection criterion, as a level at which analyses can take place in the information system and at which authorizations can be stored.

A purchasing group comprises one or more buyers and thus resembles a purchasing department.

The main strategic function of a purchasing group in SAP Retail is to maintain its master data and control data. This includes defining outline agreements and volume rebate arrangements for Purchasing, for example.

A further responsibility of the purchasing group is the day-to-day ordering process (requirements planning). This includes creating purchase orders, allocation tables and promotions. It can also send vendors requests for quotation or create purchase requisitions. Every stock planner is assigned to a purchasing group.

CapCap*You can maintain the logistic data for a specific article for all distribution centers by leaving the DC field blank on the logistics DC data screen. The data is stored on the level of the general reference site for DCs, which is defined in customizing and provides default data for all DCs.Changes in the general reference site DC only affect the subordinated DCs if these are not maintained differently.

CapCap*You can maintain the logistic data for a specific article for all stores by leaving the store key blank on the logistics store data screen. The data is stored on the level of the general reference site for stores which is defined in customizing.You also have the option to create a specific reference site for each distribution chain. In this case you maintain the logistic data for an article in a specific distribution chain by entering this distribution chain on the logistics store data screen (and leaving the store key blank).Changes in these reference sites only affect the subordinated stores if these are not maintained differently.

Therefore, when you want to add a view to a Article master, you must use the Create Article Master transaction.The Article type pre-selects which views of a Article master are available.Security is set at the Article master view level and can therefore be set for each individual user.A user can select within their allowable views which they wish to maintain.Some views require organisational units to be specified before data can be maintained.CapCap*CapCap*Within one Article master record data can be held at different organizational levels.The Article master contains information which is relevant to all business applications. This general data is valid at the client level.The sales-specific data is dependent on sales organization and distribution channel.Descriptions can be entered in as many languages as you wish.Depending on a companys needs, fields on a Article master view can be set to display only, required, optional, or suppressed through field selection. Factors influencing the field selection setting are the transaction, procurement type, industry sector, Article type and Site. For more information, refer to Appendix A.Menupaths: To maintain or view a Article master record: LogisticsArticle ManagementArticle MasterArticle...To display a Article master from within a sales order: Select the appropriate line item and then choose:EnvironmentDisplay Article

CapCap*Each department within a company will have a corresponding view in the Article master, where data relevant to only that department is held.The Article type determines which views of a Article master are possible.The views of Article master records that can be maintained / displayed can be determined for each user.Users can specify which views they obtain during Article master record maintenance.The data in some views requires the specification of the organizational units for which this data is maintained.Note: Each of the above views is further subdivided in a Article master recordWhen maintaining Article master records it is possible to set up defaults so that the system proposes the most frequently used industry sector, organizational units, and views on a user-specific basis.Menupaths: To set user defaults for Article master record maintenance: LogisticsArticles ManagementArticle Master Create/Change or Display modeDefaults...

CapCap*Base unit of measure (Stockkeeping unit) is the unit in which stocks are managed. It is found on the Article master Basic Data screen. All quantities which you enter in other units of measure are converted into the base unit of measure. Special agreements with the customer are stored in the system in the base unit of measure. Two examples of agreements are:Minimum order quantity Minimum delivery quantitySales unit is the unit of measure in which a Article is sold. It is found on the Article master Sales Org 1 View. Although automatically proposed in the order, another unit of measure can be entered in its place.Alternative units of measure are other units of measure in which the Article can be sold. They can be setup from any Article master view Additional DataUnits of Measure. Rather than manually enter each conversion rate from base unit of measure to alternative unit of measure for each Article master record, it is possible to pre-define unit of measure groups in Customizing to reduce data entry.Delivery unit is setup on Article master sales org 1 view. It is made up of a number and a unit of measure. The quantity to be delivered should be made up of complete delivery units. Order unit (purchasing) is the unit in which Articles are ordered. It is setup on the Article master purchasing view.CapCap*12CapCap*CapCap*Merchandise category hierarchies are formed when individual hierarchy levels are assigned to each other.There are two types of hierarchy level:Merchandise categories (only articles are assigned to them, and characteristics profiles if desired)Hierarchy levels (merchandise categories or other hierarchy levels are assigned to them)An article must be assigned to one merchandise category (and only one) and can also be assigned to a characteristics profile. A merchandise category reference article can be created automatically for each merchandise category; when referenced, it can simplify the process of creating a new article. A merchandise category article can also be created automatically for each merchandise category; this makes it possible for transactions at the POS to be carried out at merchandise category level. Similarly, a value-only article can be defined for each hierarchy level; this is then called a hierarchy article.CapCap*Characteristics can be assigned to articles or to whole hierarchy levels. The characteristics of superior hierarchy levels are inherited by all the lower levels assigned to them.Characteristics can be required or optional. A characteristic can be flagged as variant-creating. When creating a generic article, the variant-creating characteristic is used to create variants of the generic article.Characteristics profiles exist below the level of the merchandise category and therefore below the merchandise category hierarchy. They represent a segmentation of the merchandise category and its characteristics. Several characteristics profiles can be created for each merchandise category.

Ziel der Abschriftenplanung ist es, sowohl den Bestand am Ende der Saison so gering wie mglich zu halten, als auch den durch Preisnachlsse entstandenen Umsatzverlust zu minimieren (analog knnen Sie die Preise natrlich anheben).Mit einem Abschriftenplan knnen Sie eingeplante Preisnderungen fr bestimmte Waren durchfhren.Nachdem Sie Ihre Abschriftenstrategie definiert haben, knnen Sie im System die Ist- und Planergebnisse regelmig gegenberstellen, um die Effizienz Ihrer Strategie zu berprfen. Bei der berprfung des Abschriftenplans knnen Sie jederzeit nderungen vornehmen, falls sich der Umsatz entgegen Ihrer Erwartung erhht oder verringert.

CapCap*A precondition for the creation of a markdown plan is the definition of a markdown rule. In this the duration of the individual price phases, the percentage price decrease for this period and the estimated sales share per phase are defined. CapCap*Assign rules and org. level to types.

In this step an allocation rule is allocated to an allocation type. The system prompts sales prices for articles of the markdown plan according to the sales organization. If no organizational units are included into the markdown plan then the system does not accept any sales prices in the markdown plan.

Markdown types are defined for example to differentiate between ladies fashion in special stores and discounters CapCap*Adjustments possible until price phase is activated
