Main Business Scenario

" You are a member of your company�s store communication integration team.

" You must create the appropriate configuration to use SAP Retail Store in your stores.

" Other project teams already have configured the core business processes on SAP Retail. You have been requested to determine the optimum configuration to communicate with the stores.

$ Configuration assumptions:

" Your specialty stores provide small hardware along with sporting goods and electronics through stores in three western US states.

" Central replenishment will be run for all stores and it is company policy to run promotions for selected articles.

" mySAP Workplace will be used by the office staff and management for additional processes not covered by SAP Retail Store.

SAP Retail Store Case Study

Store Manager

" Unit Case Study:

$ Smart Specialty is installing SAP Retail. The company has many small stores with fairly high sales staff and stock clerk turnover. Their stores have fairly simple POS systems which limits how much data they exchange with headquarters. Smart Specialty will make use of personal computers and SAP Retail Store to handle their store information that has been handled manually up to now.

$ Smart Specialty is using WP_PLU and WP_EAN as outbound message types to supply the store with data to drive their cash registers. They are recording sales and register activity and reporting that using inbound POS messages.

$ The stores carry some articles that customers purchase in store but are delivered directly by the vendor to their homes. Sales clerks will use Retail Store to record these transactions online.

$ The merchandise managers will be ordering merchandise and stock clerks recording those receipts using Retail Store.

$ The store manager and other office staff will use additional transactions via mySAP Workplace.

SAP Retail & The Web: The Solution

" The Internet Transaction Server (ITS) is the essential link between the R/3 System and the internet. It enables Internet and intranet users to communicate directly with SAP Retail and run the various transactions, components and reports as internet applications.

" The ITS is a gateway located between one or more Web servers and one or more R/3 application server.

" As shown on this slide, one ITS can provide both SAP Online Store and SAP Retail Store using one ITS. Similarly, headquarters staff can access SAP Retail using a standard SAPgui.

Processing One Request From The Web (1/9)

" The ITS manages all requests and responses that pass between a Web browser and an SAP system.

" It has two main components:

% WGate - Web server gateway, which receives requests from the Web browser via the web server and forwards them to AGate. Note that the WGate always resides on the same machine as the Web server.

% AGate - Application server gateway, is the link between the ITS and the R/3 application server. It is the core processing component of the ITS. It receives requests from WGate, processes the request and sends the relevant details to SAP Retail. AGate retrieves the result from SAP Retail, processes it, and sends the response back to WGate.

% AGate is responsible for handling all session, service, and user management, and for generating the HTML documents that are sent to the Web browser via WGate.

" As noted, the Agate is the core processing component of the ITS.

" This is accomplished through the resident files.

" The service files determine which system, client, theme and transaction to use. This results in identifying the appropriate template to use.

" Within the services and templates are language specific parameters.

" Those parameters are defined in the language resource files so that when you sign on in a specific language, all subsequent displays will be in the correct language.

Dual Host Installation

" For production systems, we recommend that you install WGate and AGate on separate hosts for security reasons. Installing the two components on separate hardware makes it possible to install a firewall between the two and increase your level of security.

" When the WGate and the AGate are installed on two different computers, note the following requirements:

- The AGate requires a Windows NT 4.0 Server (Intel), and NTFS hard drive.

- The WGate must be installed on the same computer as the HTTP server. UNIX operating systems can also be used instead of Windows NT 4.0.

! Virtual HTTP Servers enableseveral complete ITSServers to be installed onone NT Server

" If more than one virtual HTTP server is used, several complete ITS servers (WGate and AGate) can be operated independently from each other on one computer.

" This installation allows test and quality assurance systems to be installed on the same NT computer. Due to security reasons, the production system should be separated from these two systems and should be installed on a different NT computer.

Assortment List Contents

" 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.

Assortment List Profile: Customizing (1/4)

" Like all other profiles in R/3, the Assortment List profile handles data entry in a most efficient fashion.

" The Parameters are:

$ Application mode: how will the assortment list be used.

- 1 Save versions, do not send as message

- 2 Send as message, do not save versions

- 3 Send as message and save versions

- 4 Do not save any version or send any message.

$ Mode 1 is recommended for Retail Store. However, mode 3 can also be used. A saved version is the critical requirement for SRS.

$ Condition Type Group

- Group created to handle conditions used to prepare pricing for download.

$ Reduction

- If you have created a reduced Assortment List message, enter the name in this field. Otherwise, the system will use the full WBBDLD message. This has little or no effect on SRS use of Assortment list.

" You may choose to ignore an assortment list type cycle and include all articles assigned to the defined user selections.

" You must also choose to merge all other change versions with the last full version after the system generates this change version. This is required for SRS. Without a merged version, only a change version exists and Retail Store ignore that because it requires the full list of articles.

Store Order Overview

Purchasing

" 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.

" The simple scenario shown on this and the following page is only suitable for a store with a small assortment, that make frequent small on line orders.

" 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.

Creating a Store Order: Replenishment

" Larger stores with extensive Assortment Lists that make large Store Orders benefit from a nightly replenishment run. In the replenishment run, SAP Retail generates purchase requisitions that display in the store as quantity proposals.

Purchasing Processes Exercises

Unit: Purchasing Processes 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 0.

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?

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://igservername.wdf.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/its/homepages/sapstore.htm

1-6-1 Can you access your Assortment List? How?

Purchasing Processes Exercises

Unit: Purchasing Processes Topic: Customize and Perform Store Orders


• Customize the parameters for SRS Store Orders

• Order Goods at the Store using SAP Retail Store

As the logistics lead, you are trying different customizing combinations for store orders and you also want to exercise it working in the store.

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 T8##. What path do you take to create an 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?

Physical Inventory: Overview

" An inventory count must be undertaken on some regular basis according to U.S. GAAP and other country�s legal requirements.

" Physical inventory using SRS requires that headquarters create physical inventory documents. This can be done manually for small article lists, or by a batch job in the background which is more realistic for large numbers of articles.

" When the retail price of an article managed on the article level is changed, inventory revaluation can be handled by the system.

" When the retail price of an article managed on a value-only basis changes, before the system can perform a revaluation you must enter the quantity of the material to be revalued.

" For a particular date, you can create a list of articles whose retail price changes on that date. Before you can do this, however,you must create the relevant retail revaluation documents with the status A ("to be counted") using program RWVKU001 or via the POS outbound interface.

" The listed articles are counted and the results are entered in SAP Retail Store. The articles are then automatically revalued in mySAP Retail on the basis of that count.

Inventory Management Exercises

Unit: Inventory Management Topic: Other Goods Movements


• Customize Goods Movements for Stock Transfer and Other movements

• Post goods movements in SAP Retail Store

Smart Specialty Stores use SAP Retail Store to maintain their inventory. The stores frequently transfer inventory among themselves and record other removals from floor stock.

4-1 Begin your customizing of SAP Retail Store Goods Movements by identifying the basic settings necessary for both Stock Transport and other Goods movement.

4-1-1 What does this customizing screen control?

4-1-2 What happens if you do not assign a schema to your site?

4-1-3 Assign Schema 0001 to your site T8##.

4-2 Before you customize you want to check your G/L accounts or Cost center assignments to these movement types, you should check in the standard materials management component for how these movement types are already assigned. You know the following information:

Data Type G/L Account

Inventory 310050

Scrap 400001

Trading goods consumption

410050

4-2-1 How would you confirm that this information is correct before using these accounts

4-3 Now you can configure your stock transport goods movement types.

4-3-1 Which keys are defined in the grouping of business transactions?

4-3-2 Check which business transactions are configured.

4-3-3 Which schema is the default? What movement type describes the default?

4-3-4 Must you add a G/L Account for these transactions?

4-4 Assign schema 0002 to your site T8##.

4-4-1 Will you be able to perform a site-to-site transfer with this schema as a default?

4-5 Now view the customizing for other goods movements.

4-5-1 Do not assign any schema to your site. What effect will this have on your store when you access Other Goods Movements on SRS?

4-6 Sign on to your client using the URL: http://igserver name.wdf.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/its/homepages/sapstore.htm Record the movement of 3 pieces of R100016 from your store to the store of the person on your right. T8## to T8##.

4-6-1 Check the accounting document for this transfer. What path do you take to check the accounting document?

Use direct access to SAP Retail rather than SRS.

4-6-2 Did the system make the debit and credit to the correct accounts? What were they?

Exercises

Unit: Inventory Management Topic: Inventory Revaluation


• Create new sales prices

• Revalue inventory based on the new sales prices

Your store maintains electronic parts for the convenience of your customers. These are low cost items so you just carry the inventory at cost on your books and revalue as the sales price change.

6-1 Before you begin revaluing your electronic parts inventory, you must consider how you want the revaluation to be carried out.

6-1-1 Where in the Site Master do you identify your revaluation scheme?

6-1-2 Which valuation profile would you use to lower your inventory account when a sales price is lowered?

6-1-3 If you allow your margins to change with a sales price discount, what will the effect be on your inventory?

6-2 Will you be required to handle the revaluation similarly for your SKU based inventory? Why or Why not?

6-3 Set up your site T8## with a revaluation profile that requires counting and revaluation when you change prices. You also want to keep your margin constant.

6-3-1 Which revaluation profile will achieve these requirements?

Unit: Sales Processes Topic: Customize Sales orders


• Customize the Sales order area for SAP Retail Store

Your company stocks its expensive articles in the DC, which ships directly to the customer. You must do some customizing before you are able to record this type of sale in the store using SAP Retail Store.

8-1 Now you can customize the sales order controls for SAP Retail Store. You will use your own template customer and plan for direct customer shipment and payment by credit card. You also want the stores to change prices from time to time and to use a consumer master record for individual customers.

8-1-1 What path do you take to customize sales order control?

8-1-2 Create a schema ##01. An easy way would be to copy schema 0001 and modify it for your needs.

8-1-3 Assign your schema to your site, T8##.

8-2 Now you must identify the order types that your store will use.

8-2-1 Must you create a new group of allowed order types?

8-2-2 Are any other steps required to ensure your store has access to these order types?

8-3 Check the Grouping for Countries

8-3-1 What is the purpose of Grouping of Countries for Customer maintenance?

8-3-2 Will it make a difference if you do not assign a country grouping code to your site?

8-3-3 Assign the appropriate Country Grouping to your site, T8##.

8-4 You want your stores to be able to respond quickly to local competition and so you will give them the authority for short-term price changes. You also think it is helpful if they can view a history of an articles prices.

8-4-1 How can you limit the duration of a price change? Is this already customized, or must you complete another customizing table?

8-4-2 Is there a separate customizing table to allow your store to change the prices?

9-1 Sign on to SAP Retail Store at the sales desk, and greet your new customer, Fred Smith. Fred lives at 234 Sleepy Hollow Drive, Jamestown, Arizona, 85260. Fred wants to purchase a tuner (R100016) to be delivered to his home.

9-1-1 What path do you take to create a customer while you are in the process of creating a sale?

9-1-2 Do you need any additional information to create a customer master record for Fred?

9-1-3 When you have completed entering Fred�s information, record the sale. Must you know the price to record the sale?

9-2 Process the Sales order you just created.

9-2-1 Can you process a sales order with just the customer number or must you know the order number?

9-2-2 Before you deliver the product add another article, R100055 to Fred�s order. How can you accomplish this?

9-2-3 Record the delivery of both articles. How do you accomplish this?

9-3 One of your competitor�s is have a sale on tuners starting later this week. You believe you must respond to that price pressure and lower the price on R100016 as well for the length of her sale.

9-3-1 How will you lower your store price?

9-3-2 When will the price change take effect? Why?

9-3-3 View the price history of your tuner and lower the price by $2. What is your new price?

9-4 Now, a new business customer would like to purchase 4 hammer�s (R100010) and 6 screwdrivers (R100009). The man at the counter represents Brown Constructions Co., at 67 Builders Way, in Tempe, Arizona. You also want to give this customer a special discount for their first order to encourage them to return.

9-4-1 Create a new customer using the business form. How does this differ from the individual?

9-4-2 Create the sale and before you complete it, enter a discount of 2% for each of the items. How can you do this? Complete your sale with the discount.

9-4-3 Then go to the system at headquarters to view the two customer master records. How are they different in the system? Can you describe the reason for the difference between the two customer master records?

Unit: Sales Processes Topic: Customize Sales orders

8-1 Customize Sales Order for SAP Retail Store.

8-1-1 The path to sales order customizing is:


Logistics � General → SAP Retail Store → Sales Order→ Basic Settings for Order Entry → Define Customizing Schemas with Basic Settings

8-1-2 Select 0001, Standard schema. Press Copy. Enter your schema number ##01. Make the following entries:

Field Name Values

Direct del. act Check

Credit card check

Templ. customer The customer you just created

Consumer Check

8-1-3 To assign the schema you just created to your site T8##, use the following path:

8-2 Check for the allowed order types. Use the path:


Logistics � General → SAP Retail Store → Sales Order→ Grouping of allowed order types

Select: Order entry, allowed order types

You will note that there is only one order type schema, 0001, with 3 order types. Identified are:

Cash sale Rush Order Standard Order

8-2-1 No, all the order types you will need are already defined.

8-2-2 Not necessarily, as standard order is the default, that is the one that displays. However, you can assign this schema to your site. Use the path:


Logistics � General → SAP Retail Store → Sales Order→ Grouping of allowed order types

Select: Assign order type grouping to sites

8-3 Grouping of Country Codes


Logistics � General → SAP Retail Store → Sales Order → Grouping of Countries for Customer Maintenance

Select: Define Country Grouping for Countries. There you will see two groupings, one German language countries; and the second, English language countries.

8-3-1 There are over 250 country codes in the system. Grouping country codes together and assigning the group to a site, reduces the number of country codes the system must check.

8-3-2 In this instance, it will make a difference. Because the German language schema is designated as the default, if you do not assign 0002 English language grouping, you will not be able to designate the US as the country where your customer lives. Nor will you be able to enter data like postal codes that are checked according to the country code.

8-4 To limit the duration of store price changes, use the path:

8-4-1 Select Define Customizing Schemas with Sales Price Basic

The Standard Schema has no limit on length of validity period. If it has not already been done, enter 15 to limit a price change to 15 days. Note also that this schema allows historical prices for 30 days in the past and planned price changes 30 days in the future to display.

8-4-2 No, there is not a separate customizing table to allow stores to change prices. You activated that option when you selected the check box, Entry of prices, in Define Customizing Schemas with Basic Settings

Now, enter your business customer number. Note that you now have an additional 3 tabs for General data: Control, Marketing and Export data.

In addition, you now have Sales area data.

The difference arises from using the two different templates, consumer and customer. However, it reflects the fact that relationships with consumers tend to be less complex than those with other businesses, and so less data retention is necessary.

Workplace

# The mySAP Workplace architecture consists of three layers:

# In the store the user needs only a web browser running on his or her workstation.

# The communication partner of the web browser is a web server, which is part of the Workplace Middleware. The SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS) creates the connection between the web server and the Workplace Server. The workplace server handles the role definitions and the Central User Administration, if that is used.

# The workplace is integrated into mySAP Retail via an RFC connection.

# Within the mySAP Retail Workplace concept, people and the work they perform can be described by roles.

# This diagram shows how several people serving in different positions can be assigned roles to facilitate their mySAP Retail tasks.

# Roles are focused on each individual's tasks and responsibilities in the store and answer the question: How do I complete the work for which I am responsible?

# A role includes all activities (functionality, content, and services) a person performing a role needs to participate in the corresponding business activities. Roles that are involved in business activities include the necessary know-how, such as help and guidance.

# The role determines the visual appearance of a user�s Workplace. It is used to structure the launch pad and the display of mini-applications.
