We are implementing IS-Retail ECC6.0 in which require to process sales order with generic article for DC sale.

Is there way to explode varients article in Sales order by putting generic article code like we do in purchase order processing.

Dear Sandip,

Yes...this is the Std. feature in SAP IS Retail.

You can assign various units of measure for a generic article, and a subset of those units of measure for each variant. This allows you to buy and sell variants of the same generic article by different units of measure.

Example

Suppose you have a generic article T-Shirt, which comes in S, M, L, and XL, and in white, black, red, and blue. You buy T-shirts in pallet loads and cartons. You sell all the shirts individually to your consumers, but in addition you sell the white shirt in bulk (cartons) to your wholesale customers for silk screening

So although you can buy an assortment of T-shirts by the carton, you can only sell the black, blue, and red ones individually, while white shirts can be sold either individually or by the carton.

Hope this info will be useful.

Regards,

Muralidhara

I was looking for configuration for same in ERP system & today i found out that you can do this by configuring item category of sales order (e.g. TAN) bill of material & configuration section "tick" varient matching this will explode the varient view in sales order

Hi all,

Hi Prafulla,

If the variant sales price does not get updated then in that case there are chances that the variant is inhibiting the price from its generic(Pricing profile as 2)

Normally the WKBP table gets updated for all articles which have valid pricing document.

Otherwise the sales prices are updated in the form of condition record...you can take the condition record from the table A073 and then table KONP gives the valid retail price for the condition record number obtained from A073 table.

Hope this helps..))

Rgds,

Hi ,

Change the Item Category group Maintained in the Article Master from NORM- Standard item to SAMM-Generic item.

And for the Particular Generic Material you will be able to get the variants in Sales Order Level.
