Question on 3 Retail Scenarios

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Can anyone help me out with these scenario's..

1. If brand is a key requirement for FI postings (separate GL accounts for each brand) and for reports, how would you recommend to incorporate brand into the retail system design? For example, would you recommend to define brand in article master data, or in merchandise category hierarchy, or article hierarchy?

2. Is it possible to configure the system so that an article has the same cost for all the sites. What are the concern points or implications for such a design?

3. When procuring goods from a vendor, the goods that are delivered from the vendor may be referenced from multiple POs and as partial PO item quantities. The actual shipment costs incurred (e.g. freight and shipping charges) also needs to be distributed to the received goods in LIV.

Without using OAPC, is it possible to map the order list function to PO, and then creating grouped PO as the shipment so that the resulting PO document can be used to perform goods receipt and LIV? If so, would OTB check be valid throughout the procurement process (order list, grouped PO, and PO document)? If not, how would you design the process in order to conveniently perform goods receipt at warehouse and for performing LIV so that the actual shipment costs are distributed to the items received?

Thanks in advance.
