Criteria to Activate Retail Extension in SAP ERP

[Former Member]

Dear Retail Experts,

In non-Retail Enviroment, does it make sense to Activate Retail extension , if

-There are too many( over 30) Food & Beverage outlets( Holding stocks) within single country (Likely to be company code) in propsoed SAP implementation..

-Mutiple Countries in proposed implementation each further having many outlets

What are the advantages of activating Retail externsion  over ERP...

-Valutation at Company code level ?

-Pur org buying for multiple company code instead for plant/site?

What are the main process differences( MAster data difference is known,,, like site,Article. Item etc ) with retail extension active?

Thank you much in advance for pointers

BestRegards

Hi Jatin,

I think you have to come from a process perspective to decide, if Retail extension makes sense.

Processes e.g. supported in IS-Retail are:

- Promotion

- Store connectivity (POS Outbound / Inbound) and Store replenishment

- Retail pricing

- Assortment operations and listing procedures

- Generic article support

So, I think you should check, if some of these processes are useful for you and meet the requirements.

Hi Tobias,

these processes do not apply as it is F&B operation..But we were looking at technical extension would enable some of the setting which would fit multiple outlets stock transfer..

Thank you for answer...
