SAP Retail is based on the retail supply chain process.
MRP can still be run as Retail is nothing but trading and trading requires purchase orders. But MRP Area or Material Ledger cannot be used when the system is set as IS Retail. MIGO does not only look the same but behaves the same in both versions. When we are in a specific line of business T-codes, looks and / or labels are different. When someone talks about SAP they are in general talking about Standard SAP.
This blog is to give a sense of balance and links to other documents on the web that can be useful. This is neither exhaustive nor is this a training document. What is article master and why cannot I do much thru MM02, what is the difference between Retailing and Store Retailing? I am in retailing business … Then went to my favorite master data and then my frustration started… what is site data? What is its counterpart for Manufacturing. I drilled down logistics and came across Retailing. So, imagine opening SAP and nothing much makes sense. My experience is solely in Manufacturing industry. I am not a veteran of SAP by no means, far from it. The only way I could deal with this was come up with a cheat sheet of mapping. First few weeks were brutal trying to learn the company lingo and the industry lingo. After 20 years of manufacturing experience when I joined Retail and oil & Gas, it felt like I walked into a whole new world.
