Use

SAP Retail supports different types of selling methods:

In the retail sector, most sales are transacted at the cash register (point of sale or POS). A POS interface is available, to enable you to link up POS and store-based retailing systems to SAP Retail.

To meet the requirements of the wholesale sector, SAP Retail also includes a comprehensive sales order processing functionality.

Internal sales to company-owned stores can also be modeled in SAP Retail. A whole suite of functions is available, including Store Order and Replenishment, to enable you to manage your business processes smoothly and simply. Intercompany sales can be settled using special conditions.

Integration

The following functions are included within Sales:

Additionals include, for example, tickets, clothes hangers, and services such as pressing clothes for display or arranging them on hangers. With this component you can control the master data for additionals, and can send or receive this data in IDoc format.

A store order is the triggering by a store or a customer (such as a wholesale customer) of the process that procures merchandise. A store order can either be entered online in the central R/3 system or transferred off-line to the central R/3 system using Application Link Enabling (ALE). A store order entered off-line is automatically processed in R/3.

A store order can be converted into a purchase requisition, purchase order (either for an external vendor or a distribution center), delivery or sales order.

The Sales Support component assists employees in Sales and Distribution and Marketing in all activities in the areas of business development and customer service. Sales Support is closely linked to Sales, Shipping and Billing.

In wholesale, in addition to POS sales, sales orders are entered and monitored. In the same way inquiries, quotations, schedule lines, scheduling agreements and billing documents can also be entered. Such sales orders can be entered directly into SAP Retail without involving the POS system.

Billing represents the final stage of a business transaction in SAP Retail goods issue processing. This applies whether the sale is to an identifiable customer or whether a company’s own stores are being replenished with merchandise.

The Consignment Stock function tracks consignment goods stored at a customer location, including fill-up, withdrawal, pick-up, return, and settlement.
