Additional Process Information
Additional Process Information
This business process enables you to create store orders either online or offline (via a distributed
retailing system).
You can supply the stores of a retail company with goods by distributing goods via the central
materials planning or by creating a store order. A store order can be based on one of the
following orders:
Purchase requisition
A purchase requisition is a request directed to the purchasing department to procure goods or
services for the store on a specific day and for a specific quantity.
Delivery
If the store is to be supplied via a distribution center and invoice verification is not required, you
can directly enter a delivery for the store.
Warehouse Orders
A warehouse order is an order for a given quantity of goods for a specific date, where the
supplier is a distribution center.
Vendor Order
A vendor order is an order for a given quantity of goods on a specified date placed with an
external supplier.
Sales order
A sales order is an order for the procurement of goods for a business customer.
In this demo, the store order processed within the simulation triggers a delivery in the central
system.

Additional Process Information
Additional Process Information
Allocation Tables
Retailers often have to distribute goods to a great number of consumers from a central location to
be sold, for example, in stores. One example is the distribution of apparel or promotional
merchandise in store retailing. You can use allocation tables in SAP Retail to help plan such a
distribution and then trigger the goods flow.
The planned goods flow can occur directly from the vendor to the consumer, from the vendor via
a distribution center to the consumer or from the distribution center to the consumer. Notifications
can be used to assist communication between head office and the consumer. When planning is
complete, you can arrange for the procurement or delivery documents to be printed
automatically.
This IDES scenario aims to show the optimum distribution of the article quantities in a purchase
order for which the vendor has sent a shipping notification. When you create the allocation tables
or the allocation table items, the system refers to the shipping notification from the vendor.
Rough Goods Receipt
Rough good receipts can only contain articles that have already been ordered in purchase orders
or delivery plans. The articles could be already have been notified by the vendor in a shipping
notification.
Only after goods receipt can the articles be entered in the material stock of the retail store. This
means that the rough goods receipt serves as the first level of a two-stage goods receipt
processing.

Additional Process Information
Promotions allow you to sell articles at a price that is lower than the standard price. You can use
the promotions either to sell goods that were purchased from a vendor at an especially good
price, or to reduce stock.
You can create either retail promotions (for unknown customers of ready-made goods) or
wholesale promotions (with special prices for known customers who exist in your customer
master data). Promotions are planned at the enterprise level. The data is downloaded as
required for the various sites.

Store Physical Inventory (With Recount)
Purpose
In this business process, we simulate an external retail store system to show a store physical
inventory for several articles (for example, during an extraordinary inventory), which are then
confirmed to the central system via the IDoc interface. An inventory document is generated in the
central system with the corresponding results. You then trigger an inventory recount for the
article, which establishes any differences. The recount is confirmed, and any remaining inventory
differences are posted in the central system.

Additional Process Information
It is often necessary to return goods to vendors. This is especially important in the retail trade.
You have two options for this:
Return Deliveries
In this case, the goods are returned to the vendors at goods receipt. The system must contain a
reference to the preceding document (for example, to a purchase order used to procure the
goods).
Returns:
Features
You can select the article to be returned as a returns order item by choosing the R indicator
(return item) in the item overview of the order when you enter the item in the order.
Return order items can exist in the same order with other order items. This means that you can
order goods and return goods using the same order.
It is possible to execute the returns processing completely on the procurement side. The goods
to be returned leave the site at goods receipt, and the relevant items have a reversed +/- sign in
invoice verification.
Activities
Should you need shipping documents or freight lists for the returns processing, you can also use
complete shipping processing.
Returns are used for:
• Sending back unsold goods after the completion of a promotion
• Sending back unsold goods after season ended
• Sending back goods, that were reclaimed by the vendor
• Sending back or destruction of spoiled or low-quality goods
• Sending back discontinued articles
• Sending back empties of returnable transport packaging
There are various types of returns:
Returns to Vendor
This is a return delivery of goods from a specific store or distribution center to an external vendor.
Returns to vendor do not need a reference to a preceding document, with which the goods were
procured. This is because the goods have already been accepted at the goods receipt.
Store Returns
This is a return delivery of goods from a specific store or distribution center to an internal
distribution center. Store returns can only be processed, if you use SAP Retail. Cross-company
store returns are not possible. Store returns do not need a reference to a preceding document
the goods were procured with.

Additional Process Information
Additional Process Information
Material groups help to classify and structure the complete range of your corporate group down
to the last detail. Each article is then assigned to a material group across the corporate group.
Reference articles serve to determine default values when creating and extending article data.
Changes to reference articles have no impact on articles that are derived from reference articles,
that is, subsequent data changes are not passed on. According to the data type, default data
have to be either confirmed explicitly or they are determined using the template during
background processing.
There are two types of reference articles:
• Reference articles on the initial screen
You enter the reference article on the initial screen.
• Reference articles for the material group
When creating a material group, you can also create material group reference articles. Each
article master record you create has to be assigned to a material group. If the system can detect
a material group reference article for the entered material group, the system uses the data of this
material group reference articles as a reference for all articles of this material group.
Material group value-only articles serve as a value-based inventory management at the material
group level.
The cash registers in the individual sites of a supermarket chain include material group keys.
When selling various quantities of apples and pears, the cashier presses the material group key
for fruits and enters the price. The sale is posted value-based to the material group value-only
article fruits.

Changing the Retail Price with Subsequent Revaluation
Changing the Retail Price with Subsequent Revaluation
Purpose
Revaluation at retail includes many functions with which you can revaluate stocks of articles or
merchandise categories at retail sales prices. Revaluation can be necessary when, for example,
due to a markdown, the retail sales price is changed and you need to consider the consequences
for the retail margin.
You can perform valuations at retail sales prices using either inventory management on a
quantity and value basis, or if you are using inventory management on a value only basis.
You can find more information about this process under [Page 86].
Process Flow
You can find the data for this process under [Page 87].

April 2001 85
86. SAP Retail SAP AG
Additional Process Information
Additional Process Information
You can revaluate retail sales prices either automatically, using a background program, or
manually. There are two types of manual revaluation:
• Total revaluation
The total stock of a given article is revaluated. When you use inventory management on a
quantity and value basis, the quantity is revaluated at the inventory balance, if you are using
inventory management on a value only basis, you need to specify the quantity and the
relevant storage locations.
• Partial revaluation
Only part of the article stock is revaluated. You must specify the quantity when using either
inventory management on a quantity and value basis, or if you are using inventory
management on a value only basis. If you are using inventory management on a value only
basis, you must also specify the storage location.
In this demo, tough competition obliges you to manually execute a total revaluation of a retail
sales price following a price change for an article at a retail store. You are using inventory
management on a quantity and value basis. In this retail store the revaluation profile is set so that
the revaluation affects margins. This means that you change only the retail inventory value, and
not the purchasing inventory value. No posting to Financial Accounting is required in this case.
In the case of a margin-neutral revaluation, the purchase value is changed in proportion to the
retail value. An FI document is generated, because the acquisition cost is relevant to the balance
sheet and to the profit and loss account.

Merchandise Distribution
Merchandise Distribution
Purpose
In this IDES Process we take a look at the pull approach to distribution. The first step is to
generate the issue documents (warehouse orders) for the recipients (stores). We use collective
purchase orders as procurement documents. This is achieved by totaling the issue document
quantities for each article and distribution center. When the goods receipt occurs, the distribution
data are automatically adjusted to the actual quantities delivered. The merchandise is then
distributed to the recipients.
You can find more information about this process under [Page 92].

92. SAP Retail SAP AG
Additional Process Information
Additional Process Information
You can use merchandise distribution to plan, control, and process the merchandise flow from
suppliers, through a distribution center, and on to the recipients (stores or customers).
Merchandise distribution supports both the push and pull methods. It also enables you,
particularly in the distribution center, to perform cross-docking or flow-through. The cross-docking
and flow-through methods help you to process the merchandise faster and with fewer processing
steps, therefore reducing the costs of merchandise processing and storage.
Processing type Cross Docking ensures that the goods are taken directly from the incoming
vehicle or means of transport mode to the outgoing means of transport. The goods are neither
repacked nor put into storage. If the goods are repacked, but not put into storage, we speak of
Flow Through.
With Push Movements the head office plans the goods movement and the distribution of the
delivery from the vendor to the recipient (allocation table).
For Pull Movements the starting point for the goods movement are the warehouse orders or the
sales orders of the recipients.
SAP Retail offers you a wide range of processing methods, which give you a high degree of
flexibility. You are able to control the level of automation in the distribution process to a great
extent. Algorithms ensure that the distribution process allows for any over- and under-deliveries
that may occur.

The system assumes that the highest possible level of delivers should be reached, and
not only stores the quantities that can not be delivered via the delivery unit of measure,
but also adds the corresponding remainder quantities to the delivery for a picking-
relevant item.
You could also repeat this procedure for the other stock transfer orders, or continue to
process the deliveries and stock transfer orders (creating transfer orders, posting
deliveries and goods issues, posting goods receipt at the store).

The IDES Retail Store (Purchasing via the Intranet)
The IDES Retail Store (Purchasing via the Intranet)
Purpose
In this IDES process, you create a purchase order for a retail store. In IDES we have set up a
specially designed user interface based on the Internet Browser.
Your purchase order is processed further in the distribution center of the R/3 Retail System.
You then carry out the goods receipt in the retail store. This is also executed via the intranet.
You can find more information about this process under [Page 102].
Prerequisites
You can only execute this process if you have an IDES system with a connection to an Internet
Transaction Server (ITS).
Process Flow
You can find the data for this process under [Page 103].

Additional Process Information
Additional Process Information
SAP Retail Store
Purpose
The SAP Store provides you with a user interface based on the internet browser that has been
tailored to meet the exact requirements of the retail store. This means that you can present the
specially created or adapted SAP Retail functions to the entire store personnel.
The interface combines the intuitive usability of a WEB browser with the new, stored-based
transactions of the central SAP Retail System. This means that even relatively new part-time
workers or support staff will find these functions easy to learn and fun to use.
Implementation Considerations
The SAP Store component is a separate product that builds on SAP Retail and can be
implemented in your retail stores..
At the time you access the component, there must be a data connection to the central R/3
System. To communicate with the central systems, the retail stores require ISDN connections.
The screens perform at their best if you are using a 17“ screen.
Bear in mind that the SAP Store business functions do not support the following Browser
functions:
• Back
• Print
• Forward
You should therefore set the Browser settings so that when you start the functions the menu bar
does not appear. The R/3 transactions provide you with comprehensive navigational options.
Integration
SAP Store belongs to the area Distributed Retailing within SAP Retail.
The software package is run in the central system on a SAP Retail application server. It starts
when you call up the retail stores on the R/3 System. An ITS (Internet Transaction Server) is
used to provide you with the necessary functions via the IACs (Internet Application Components).
This ITS communicates on the one side with the R/3 System via BAPIs (Business Application
Program Interfaces), and on the other side with your retail stores via your own intranet or via the
internet with standard WEB browsers.
Constraints
Before you can access the SAP Store, you first need to log on to the initial screen. You require
both of these screens for navigation and for the transfer of general parameters, such as store
numbers. This means that you can access all of the functions for the SAP Store from the
Browser, via the initial screen, and then via the menus.
