Hi

you are new to retail - look at this below document to understand what is retail

SAP Retail Product Catalog

To arrange your merchandise in groups and create different hierarchies. This makes your Online Store clear and easy to use.

Online Store is basically an extension of the SAP Retail system and its Product Catalog. The advantages of linking the two systems so closely are clear:

The Product Catalog is available in several different country versions that support the language, currency, decimal point settings, and date and price formats of a variety of countries.

The Product Catalog is a database that stores and manages a wide range of data centrally, including texts and multimedia objects. This means you can re-use the Online Store data you have maintained in the database to produce a catalog on CD-ROM or in print.

Hi,

Use t-code MM41 to create an article.

you can create an Article only Basic data using only following fields.

Article Type - Select Any one

Mechendise Category - Select Any on using f4 help or create using t-code WG21

Article Category - Single Artcile.

Press enter, system will take u to basic data view. Fill in some mandatory fields using F4/F1 help and save.

However to use the article in true functional sense it will require a lot of more details on what you plan to do with it.

You will need other Master Data like Merchendise catergory, Purchase Org/Distibution channel, Sales Org, DC, Store etc etc. And customising settings for Article Type.

So you will have to read about it or ask a MM/ IS Retail guy to create this master data for you.

Hope this helps

Cheers
