Process Overview Process Steps (new functionality in blue): (1) Order proposals and exceptions are transferred from SAP F&R to SAP ERP. The transfer can happen location by location event driven. (2) Order proposals can be considered for Order List Item Grouping and exceptions are stored. Information on posted purchase orders is sent back to SAP F&R. (3) Grouping and subsequent releasing of purchase orders in SAP ERP. (4) Outbound interface for order proposals and exceptions (IDoc) to provide transparency to external devices (e.g. Mobile device). (5) External order creation (Portal, Mobile, 3rd party) can be transferred to ERP Order List Item Grouping using the Inbound interface for purchase orders (IDoc) SAP F&R 1 5 2 SAP ERP 4 3 3rd party (e.g. SAP Store Solutions GK) 3

SAP E/A Retail Grouping of Order List Items into Purchase Orders SAP Forecasting and Replenishment - Integration Notes 2315072 Consulting 2306067 FRE06 transfers F&R items information from buffer tables to Grouping of Order List Items Purchase Orders are not created by F&R Purchase Orders are created by Grouping of Order List Items asynchronously 8
SAP E/A Retail Grouping of Order List Items into Purchase Orders Grouping of Order List Items - Functionality Order List Items are bundled or split (grouped) into multiple purchase orders by defined criteria e.g. site could be a grouping criterion. Purchase orders can be kept in status On hold until a given point in time (ordering time). Purchase orders can be automatically released for further processing when the ordering time has passed. A tolerance window can be defined. Incoming Order List Items can be configured as not to be grouped with existing purchase orders, but to be created as new purchase orders immediately. This behavior is steered by the document type. External Order List Items coming in via the new standard interface (IDoc RPO_DATA_TRANSFER01) can be considered for grouping. Creation of purchase orders is fast (multiple updates especially close to the ordering time are expected). Edit / change of grouped Purchase Orders is fast. Incoming Order List Items for an ordering time in the past are marked and can be monitored ( Obsolete POs ). 9
