This object is used to transfer data relating to the articles on sale (and which are or were contained in the assortment list) in a store, including all the information required at the cash register, such as texts, prices, EAN/UPCs and POS data.

IDoc type: WP_PLU02

The object is time-dependent.

The following sub-objects belong to the "Article" object:

• Master Data

• Article texts (article short texts and cash register receipt texts)

• Article conditions (for example, sales and promotion prices) including price scales

• Free-goods discounts

• Tax codes

The following conditions must be met before SAP Retail can transfer the data to the POS systems:

• The article must be managed in the store within the preparation period (generally the store lead time).

• The set article must have already been contained in the store’s assortment list.

• The merchandise category for the article cannot be expressly excluded for transfer to this store. The merchandise category for the article must be assigned to the store.

• The article category for the article must refer to a standard or group article. Hierarchy articles and merchandise category reference articles are not transferred to the POS systems. Merchandise category articles are not usually transferred to the POS systems either, unless this is explicitly required in the special settings in the store communication profile.

• The article must have a main EAN/UPC and a sales price.
