CWM in IS-Retail

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Masters,

I'm new to IS-retail, and our new client is into retail, specifically 'farm' -> food service -> restaurant.

I've read in many articles that one of IS-retail's limitation is co-product.

I'm planning to use CWM to those items such as slaughtered cow into say 20 different VERP being processed by the food service from the farm.

Is CWM possible in IS-retail?

If not, I'm planning on doing GI for the whole slaughtered cow, then GR on the 20 VERP into the same site. But with these, I cannot use the master data for PP.

Can you please give me some inputs on how can I best deal with this please?

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,

Kristine

Hi Kristine,

"CWM can only be activated and used in the industry version of SAP ERP. Within an SAP

ERP system which is used as a Retail-system, CWM cannot be used."

You can refer to SAP Note 863498  - functional restricions in SAP Catch Weight Management

Hi Sir Tobias,

thank you for this. though it's sad.

We could just simply GI the whole then GR the different cuts and input costs according to ratio. But, can you give me any suggestions on how I could about this considering that we have to use PP upon transforming the whole meat into different cuts?

Best Regards,

Kristine

Hi Kristine,

maybe two other approaches that could be verified, if they meet your requirements:

- Check, if an external in-store Food production tool is an option (there are standard interfaces and certified tools, check In-Store Food Production Integration - Enterprise Services WIKI - SCN Wiki

- SAP Consulting developed once a "In-store production scenarios for SAP for Retail" package with enhancement to meet requirements like yours. You could get in touch with SAP Consulting representatives to check, if this is an option for you.

Hi Paul,

that was exactly I was referring with to "In-store production scenarios for SAP for Retail package". Not sure, what the "official" name is at the moment.

Hi Tobias:

Thanks, but you pointed to a standard interface in Enterprise Services.  My suggestion is not that at all.

50108914: Meat Processing Starter Pack for SAP for Retail is not a standard product and it is not an interface. This is an offering in SAP Services Catalog.

This service helps solve the often requested processing of prime to retail cuts in meat and fish handling.

Using this service, customers can gain access to a solution pack for meat processing within SAP for Retail solutions that is customized and simplified for grocery retailers' stores. The link between the buying article and the selling articles provides full cost and stock transparency and additional vendor batch information. In addition to documentation, the service can deliver a prototype setup at the customer's system, including an initial how-to-use workshop.

Hi Kristinie,

Please look at the below link. I think we can use IS-CWM with other IS solutions.
