Variant 6: Displaying Shelves in the SAP Retail Store (SAP Library - Interface for Space Management Systems (LO-MD-RA))

Variant 6: Displaying Shelves in the SAP Retail Store

Use

This variant allows store personnel to display layout information for a shelf in the SAP Retail Store and, optionally, the next future version of the shelf contents. You can display a graphical representation of the shelf contents (extracted from an external space management program) and/or a report showing articles and location information. This is useful for:

Visually confirming that the physical shelf layout is correct

Planning resources for making upcoming shelf changes

Considering markdowns for those articles in inventory which are to be discontinued in the next version of the shelf layout

This information is for display only. You cannot make changes in the SAP Retail Store.
