Enrichment of Markdown Proposals

Use

You use this report to enrich the markdown profiles that you have transferred from SAP BI to SAP ECC with data that the system requires to perform price planning.

The enriched markdown proposals remain in the worklist until it is reorganized if they are not selected in a price plan.

Prerequisites

SAP BI has generated markdown proposals and you have transferred them to the worklist in SAP ECC.

For more information, see the SAP NetWeaver documentation, under Start of the navigation path Information Integration Next navigation step SAP Business Information Warehouse Next navigation step BI Content Next navigation step Planning Content Next navigation step Retail Analytics Next navigation step Merchandise and Assortment Planning Next navigation step Slow Seller Management End of the navigation path .

Features

The report performs the following functions during the enhancement process:

  • Checks plausibility

  • Determines related markdown proposals if the level of the markdown proposal does not correspond to the specified pricing reference article assignments

  • Flags related markdown proposals

  • Determines different price activation levels

  • Determines stock information

  • Determines the assignment of the article to the article hierarchy or merchandise category hierarchy

  • Determines the budget belonging to the article

  • Determines the price planner group using the budget

    Note Note

    You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to adapt the report to your requirements.

    For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Logistics - General under Start of the navigation path Price Planning Next navigation step Enhancements Using Business Add-Ins Next navigation step Additional Processing in the Worklist for Markdowns. End of the navigation path

    You use a BadI to determine related markdown proposals. In the default implementation, the system determines the markdown proposals that are related to a markdown proposal for a generic article variant by calling all other variants of the generic article that do not have their own markdown proposal.

    End of the note.
Selection

  • You must set at least one indicator in the Status of Markdown Proposal group box.

  • You can enter additional selection criteria to limit the selection of markdown proposals.

  • For markdown proposals that are to be enriched, you must enter a default start date for the validity period. When it transfers the markdown proposals to a price plan, the system copies this date to the header data.

Output

Once you have run the report, the system creates an application log for object WRF_PPW, subobject WORKLIST for any errors or warnings that have occurred. If you run the report online, the system also creates statistics relating to the execution of the program.
