SAP S/4HANA Retail for merchandise management… Industry to Core
2016 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
Customers shall be able to extend their business model and run vertical processes:
• Make it easier for other industries to use retail and fashion functionality

• Retail Switches and Business functions are simplified. The exclusive Retail Business Function Set has been removed.
• Enterprise Extension and Industry Extension for Retail have been removed.
• Retail coding is in the SAP S/4HANA core software component.

• Automatic migration of existing customers into simplified logic
SAP S/4HANA Retail for merchandise management… Industry to Core - Retail provides leading processes for cross-industry customers

WHY HARMONIZE MASTER DATA – SITE MASTER AND BUSINESS PARTNER?
• Principle of One: Business Partner becomes the leading entity for all customer and vendor master records on S/4HANA, including customers / vendors as part of a Retail site.
• Leveraging synergies: Harmonized and simplified data model and processes.
• Efficiency: Usage of additional Business Partner features such as address data handling.
• Industry to Core: Enabling of site for future Business Partner enhancements.
WHAT HAS CHANGED?
• Maintenance of site master: The central Business Partner maintenance is integrated in the site maintenance dialog for maintenance of customer / vendor data of the site.
• Distribution of site master: Data Replication Framework (DRF) as common framework for data distribution (BP and site).
• Archiving of site master: Dependency on Business Partner.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR IS-RETAIL CUSTOMERS?• Automated migration of sites (creation of leading Business Partners) during conversion from SAP ERP to S/4HANA.
• Intelligent distribution scenarios support a regular data distribution not only between S/4HANA systems, but also between a Business Suite system and S/4HANA and vice versa.
• In case of custom enhancements in the customer / vendor maintenance, these need to be applied to the business partner maintenance and distribution on a project basis.
SAP S/4HANA Retail for merchandise management… Industry to Core – Harmonization of Site Master and Business Partner
WHAT HAS CHANGED?
• The way of storing the variant-creating data has changed for Retail variants: It is now stored within Configuration (IBase).
• Very small UI related changes for generic article in article maintenance transactions
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR IS-RETAIL CUSTOMERS?
• Conversion reports support the automatic migration of the SAP Business Suite data into the new SAP S/4HANA data model concerning generic articles and variants
• Intelligent ALE scenarios support a regular data distribution not only between S/4HANA systems, but also between a Business suite system and S/4HANA and vice versa
• Adjustments in custom code are only necessary in exceptional cases (e.g. hard-coded accesses to classification data)
• Principle of One: Material + Retail Article shall be harmonized over time as “Product”
• Leveraging synergies: One common new Fiori app for Retail article and material (in 1610 restricted to single articles)
• Industry to Core: Features of generic article (matrix UI, variant masscreation) shall be made available for standard materials (roadmap).
• Efficiency: Applications shall work with one harmonized business object, not two (roadmap)
• Flexibility: Bundling of variant-creating characteristics independent from the merchandise category hierarchy easier reclassification

all processes of a product along its complete
life cycle from master data creation to
procurement and sales, price calculation and
stock management – distribution curves help
merchandisers to come up with the right mix of
styles
• 5-10% Reduced markdowns
Slow collaboration: Complex supply
chains for products with fast life cycles
make it difficult to bring in the
merchandise in time and in the right
shape to launch the season
Tracking the journey of products from
remote supplying locations into the stores
was difficult and implemented across
separate systems (event management
system) - not entirely built into a unified
procurement process
Collaboration between suppliers and agents,
close tracking of the merchandise journey with
workbenches that allow course corrections in
an automated manner as well as via manual
interaction; information and process support
for special handling such as labelling, ticketing,
and packaging are embedded
• 3-5% reduced revenue loss due to
reduction of stock-outs
• 10-20% Reduced overall supply
chain planning cost
Grocery retailers define their brand
more and more by their range of fresh
products – meat and cheese counters
are points of attraction for consumers
but managing catch-weight products is
a major challenge for inventory and
management and valuation
Conversion of the number of pieces catch
weight articles into the right weight is
based on rigid conversion factors and
ends in incorrect stock values and
requires permanent inventory corrections
Ability to hold different weight factors (Catch
weight management) as a key functionality in
meat production facilities for instance – on the
new S/4HANA platform, industry capabilities
are united and can be accessed and leveraged
to improve functional fit*
* Roadmap
• 5-10% higher inventory accuracy
• 5-10% reduced waste
SAP S/4HANA Retail for merchandise management… A shot at a value proposition
Transform Retail
Merchandise Management
with SAP S/4HANA
Typical challenges Traditional ERP SAP S/4HANA enhancements Benefits*
The right product at the right quantity at
the right time is key in retail - the massive
number of products and locations within
a retail company puts pressure on supply
chain planning but also on omnichannel
fulfillment processes
Mission critical core retail processes such
as replenishment processes or calculation
of available-to-promise (ATP) quantities
can only be run in nightly batch windows
Replenishment for distribution centers and
stores and Available-to-Promise runs are
accelerated by multiple factors almost allowing
to work in dialogue by using in-memory
technology (code push down and embedded
algorithms)
• 3-5% Reduced revenue loss due
to stock-outs
• 10% Reduced total logistics cost
• Higher inventory turns
Limited insight into stock levels prevents
course corrections in time in order to
react to stock outs or changes in
customer demand
Stock information is spread across many
tables, aggregates that prevents quick
access to information on inventory
positions
Inventory information is stored in general journal
tables for simple reporting in real-time on stock
position and stock values – supply chain
responsible can react to critical stock situations
while controllers are able to track & assess
profitability
• Higher inventory turns
• 10-15% Lower inventory carrying
cost
• 30-40% Higher inventory
accuracy
Wild mix of user interfaces based on
different technologies, using different
navigation schemes hampering the user
experience and employee efficiency
particularly in the store where mobility
and contextual information is key for
better service
User interfaces are transaction oriented
versus role-oriented and not based on the
user’s work process, therefore not telling
the users what they need to do.
Visual harmonization of all user interfaces
presenting identical look & feel, navigation
schemes across all areas – access via role-
based launch pads that empower employee with
contextual information, insight to action,
collaboration and real-time access to
information they need for their daily work
• 15-20% improved Retail Store
FTE Productivity
• 30% time reduction in decision
making
*Benefits express potentials and are based on early adopters of SAP S/4HANA or conservative outside-in benefits due to moving from a traditional ERP to enhanced SAP S/4HANA + LoB/cloud capabilities. As each enterprise is at a different level of maturity, we recommend working with you to determine the value proposition for your enterprise.
