Purchasing Processes: Business Scenario

! Smart Speciality Stores use SAP Retail Store to


maintain their inventory. Headquarters runs
replenishment nightly and the stores have up
until noon the next day to modify the quantity
proposals.
! Articles are purchased from external vendors as
well as the distribution centers and all this is
handled efficiently in the background
! Goods receipt is recorded at the store upon
arrival so that inventory is always current.

Assortment List Contents

All articles that can be ordered per store within a given time,
description of new articles and those to be discontinued

Information about sources of supply (DC or vendor,


purchase information, delivery unit, sales unit)

Information about important movement data (promotions,


allocation tables, last orders)

Information about presentations and article sales


(labels, sales prices, layout specifications)

 SAP AG 1999

" The Assortment list contains selected data of the integrated article maintenance that are relevant for
the store or customer.
" A source determination is made for the articles so that the store knows from where to order each
article. More than one source can be transmitted.
" Optionally, transaction data (promotions, allocation tables, orders) are read as well. This data can
support the store's merchandise planning functions.
" Information about the layout of the store provides directions for article placement and planning by
visual inspection and also, where necessary, for generating shelf-edge labels.

" Store order is the tool used by stores (or customers), to identify replenishment needs to SAP Retail.
The central SAP Retail system triggers the actual procurement using the system’s purchasing and
shipping functionality.
" Upon receipt of store order data, SAP Retail checks for missing details that are required for further
processing, but were not provided by the store (e.g., order unit, source of supply, ...). It adds these
details, using information stored in the system. Further, it optimizes individual order items, adapting
order quantities to minimum order quantities, or rounding to logistical units of measure according to
a defined rounding profile. If the augmented data is sufficient, they are used to create a document
that triggers the procurement of the articles. Depending on the customizing settings of SAP Retail,
the document can be:
- a purchase requisition (PReq), or
- a purchase order (PO), or
- a delivery.

" Creating such a simple store order, is a matter of selecting the assortment list, selecting the
merchandise category and identifying the quantity of each item that you want to order.
" Through the store order control profile and the logistics screen for the article, the system determines
whether to produce a stock transport order to the DC or a purchase order to a vendor.
" Two step ordering is a way of varying the simple scenario:
A clerk or a vendor can be assigned to an authorization object that allows them to enter quantity
proposals. This can lead to purchase requisitions but require a second step by a staff member with
authorization to create the follow-on documents, that is to accept the proposed quantity or change it
before completing the process.

Topic: Customizing Assortment List Profile and
Initializing the Store
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Customize an Assortment List Profile and create a Full
Assortment List for your store

Before you can purchase any articles, you must have an


initialized Assortment List available on-line. The Assortment List
provides all the products you sell in the store but it must be set up
to create the appropriate list for stores using SRS.

Important note: The R/3 locking mechanism is switched off


for courses doing Customizing therefore, it is necessary for
you to check that your settings have been saved. Use
DISPLAY after you have saved your changes to confirm that
they are recorded.

1-1 Prepare to create your Assortment List profile.


1-1-1 Is there any customizing required to ensure that the Condition Type group
works with your Assortment List?

1-2 Check the Assortment List types. Although the system requires a minimum of 2
days lead-time, for demonstration purposes ensure that the types you will be using
have a lead time of only 1 day.

1-3 Use the copy function to create your Assortment List Profile. Use the name RS##.
And only use assortment list types S and H for your site.
Remember to use an application mode that saves the version.

1-3-1 What path must you take to access the Assortment List profile?

1-3-2 How do you perform a copy of another profile?

© SAP AG IRT370 3-29


1-3-3 Ensure that the data in your assortment list types S and H are correct for
SRS usage. What are these parameters?

1-4 Once you are sure that your Assortment List profile has been saved. Assign it to
your site TS##.
1-4-1 What is the path to the site?

1-4-2 Which tab and field do you access to enter your Assortment List Profile?

Remember to check that the change was saved.

1-5 Your site belongs to Sales organization R300 and distribution channel R1. Initialize
the Assortment List message type for your site only.
1-5-1 What path did you take to access the Initialization process?

1-5-2 How do you check if your assortment list was created?

1-5-3 Can you determine in headquarters what articles were grouped together?

1-6 Now, sign on to your client through the internet. The URL that you use is:
//http:/igdpr.wdf.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/its/homepages/sapstore.htm
1-6-1 Can you access your Assortment List? How?

Topic: Store Order and Goods Receipts Customizing

At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:


" Customize the parameters for SRS Store Orders
" Customize the parameters for SRS Goods Receipts

As the logistics lead, you are trying different customizing


combinations for store orders and store goods receipts.

2-1 You will customize the store order parameters for the store so that when an article
is purchased from an outside vendor a purchase order is created and when the
supplier is your Distribution Center, the system creates a delivery document.
2-1-1 First, you must create an inbound POS profile RS## and assign it to your
store TS##. What path do you take to create and inbound profile?

2-1-2 How do you assign that profile to your store?

2-2 Configure the inbound processing controls for store order data for your POS
inbound profile, RS##. Copy the settings maintained for inbound profile AZ00.
Then modify those settings to have store order processing always try to generate a
purchase order for external procurement and a delivery for internal procurement,
and to produce an error if unsuccessful.
2-2-1 What settings did you have to change?

2-3 Now customize the Retail Store profile for Store orders to only retain orders for two
weeks.
2-3-1 What is the path for the Retail Store customizing?

2-3-2 What value did you put in the retention field?

correct default data?

Topic: Store Orders and Goods Receipts

At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:


• Order Goods at the Store using SAP Retail Store
• Receive Goods into your Store using SAP Retail Store

You will be wearing two hats in the store, as department manager


you order merchandise to be shipped to the store. Then you
change your hat to become the stock clerk and receive those
goods on-line.

3-1 Tuners have been moving quite quickly off the shelves and you know that in a few
weeks there is going to be a change of season promotion on that particular tuner. So
you have decided to order extra before the promo announcement is activated.
3-1-1 How do you order 25 units of R100016 for your store TS##?

3-1-2 Can you determine whether that article is shipped from the DC or from a
vendor? How?

3-2 Also order extra speaker wire. That is R100116 and you want 2-100 foot pieces.

3-2-1 Do you need to know the vendor number of your supplier?

3-2-2 Is your speaker wire in stock? How can you check that?

© SAP AG IRT370 3-33


3-4 Receive the goods you ordered in the previous step.
3-4-1 Must you know your purchase order number to receive the goods?

3-4-2 Can you receive the articles that will be shipped from the DC?

OPTIONAL:
