Use
This business process allows you to create store orders either online or offline (in a distributed retailing system).
In addition to the usual method of distributing merchandise to your stores via the central requirements planning function, you have the option of supplying stores with merchandise using store orders. A store order can take the following forms:
A purchase requisition is a request to Purchasing to procure goods or services for the store in a specified quantity by a specified date.
If the store is to be supplied by a distribution center and invoice verification is not to take place, you can simply create a delivery directly for the store.
A warehouse order is a purchase order for merchandise in a specified quantity by a specified date where the vendor is a distribution center.
A vendor order is a purchase order made to an external supplier for merchandise in a specified quantity by a specified date.
A sales order is a request for goods for a business customer (wholesaler or processor of merchandise).
SAP Retail supports the following activities for processing store orders:
You can create store orders online, either directly in the store or manually in the head office.
You can enter store orders in a distributed retailing system (DRS). Following inbound processing, these orders are processed further in SAP Retail.
