SAP Retail
is a fully integrated, self-contained system comprising all the functions you require to model retail business processes. SAP Retail also includes general R/3 components such as Financial Accounting, Controlling and Human Resources.And at the heart of the system is functionality specially developed for retailing (IS-R). The functionality is based on the SAP components Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), Logistics - General (LO) and Logistics Execution (LE). Links can also be created to new dimension systems, such as SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) and SAP APO.
This documentation describes SAP Retail in a retailing context. Many topics do, however, contain references to additional information in other areas of the SAP Library. These references point you to the relevant part of the documentation.
In certain circumstances – for example, if your company also has manufacturing operations – you may use some components that are purely MM, SD or LE. In this case, you can reach the documentation for these areas by choosing Help ® SAP Library.
If you follow a link to another part of the SAP Library, the text that appears has a different structure to this documentation. Also, the terminology used is standard SAP terminology which is not specific to your SAP Retail system.
For further information on the different terminology, see Retail Terminology.
