Responsibility Profile Management
You use this function to define the responsibilities for replenishment planning and processing in the Replenishment Workbench for Stores in the back end (SCM system at headquarters) and in the front end (Replenishment Workbench for Stores). You define the assignment to the store centrally, at company level and then carry out responsibility management decentrally in the individual stores. Store associates (for example, the store manager) can only execute replenishment functions for the store(s) in the front end to which they have been assigned in the back end.
Prerequisites
