Have anybody implemented SAP R45 franchise scenario / a separate company code per Franchise scenario without a dummy company code?

If a dummy company code where did the Franchises perform full financial accounting e.g. in a separate system (integrated with SAP or not?)

If multiple company codes (per Franchise) how did you manage the Retail elements such as pricing, promotions, assortments, POS integration etc from a distribution chain perspective.

If there is anything else you think is relevant either from a Retail or Financial perspective I would be happy to hear it.

Hello Adi,

we are about to have exactly the same questions. Did you get any answer and that specific point. Essentially on the impact of the master data management.

We would like to implement Franchise sites with real company code (1 franchise per company code) but we are looking for answers on what may be the impact on :

- article management (do we have to create a company view per company code of a franchise site?)

- purchase organisation and distribution channel (do we have to create a purchase organisation / distribution channel per company code of a franchise site?)

- assortment

- stock management (stock valuation)

Did you identifie some limits on the use of franchise site? (complexity of maintenance, limit number on company code and franchise site...)

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Hi Adi,

It depends on the control the company want to have on the Franchise. If the franchises are not using the SAP comany code only then will it be called a dummy isn't it? They may have their own independent systems for their financial accounting which have to be tallying with the company's account.

In certain cases the Franchises also use the same SAP system but there are certain things to be considered with respect to the SAP licenses in those cases.

From a distribution chain perspective the Retail elements like pricing, promotions will have to be maintained individually for different entities.
