Additional information
An Article Hierarchy in ERP Retail can be used to hold any given hierarchical
Article Grouping e.g. a combination of articles in groups from a sales perspective
The Article Hierarchy can be linked to shops to portray the presentation of certain
sub-ranges on the sales floor (physical and logical segmentation of a shop)
Optional Integration to Planning, Operations and Reporting on different levels of
aggregation
The Article Hierarchy is designed to serve Category Management purposes. It
focuses on customer needs, whereas Merchandise Categories observe physical
attributes of the goods.

SAP ERP explodes document items that contain a structured article into additional items
for the components of a prepack ( possible for DataSources 2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_03_BF
and 2LIS_03_BX ).
Important Note:
The Standard implementation is delivered as active, that means each customer how is
not interested in the explosion could switch of the implementation and increase the
performance.
The information is required to balance the article movements from ERP (DataStore object
0RSL_DS51) with the sales data (DataStore object 0RT_DS54) for the stock ledger.
In order not to falsify business content in BI with additional data from explosion of
structured articles, this data is deleted in the start routines of InfoSources
2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_03_BF und 2LIS_03_BX (Which means you can analyze only
the unexploded structured article in this case).
If the data should be used to analyze both the unexploded structured article and
the exploded structured article please follow procedure described in note 846106.

The success of the investment can be ensured by tickling consumer demand, keep the
costs low and keep the inventory low throughout the considered time frames.
This is typically monitored by analyzing the sales at retail, sales at cost, the gross margin
(percentage), average inventory and ultimately the GMROI, which expresses the overall
success of your investment.
The Moving Average Price plays an important role in this formula since the gross margin,
the numerator of the GMROI formula, is the difference of sales at retail and sales at cost.
The sales costs are evaluated by taking the sales units and multiplying this by the moving
average price.
This means that the moving average price has to be available in BI.

Additional information
Many business processes in Retail use SAP BI to evaluate data that comes from
various different components, for example, from SAP ERP or SAP R/3 but also from
SAP Forecasting and Replenishment (SAP F&R), which is part of mySAP SCM.
While SAP ERP or SAP R/3 uses terms that are linked to its industry sectors
(material and plant in production, article and site in SAP Retail), in other components
you will find the more universally-employed terms product and location.
When evaluating data from different sources it is best to use consistent terminology.
It is therefore possible to convert the screen in your SAP BI system to display the
more universal terms product and location in several languages. This conversion is
performed with short text replacement.
In the SAP Service Marketplace, you can find out the languages and components for
which short text replacement is available and how you activate it
( http://service.sap.com/retail) under Expert Knowledge Corner Across
Components Short Text Replacement in Retail Short Text Replacement.
