Simulate Settlement Profit - Settlement Documents
Application component: Settlement Management
App type: SAP GUI
Description: A profit simulation enables you to calculate the expected surplus from a settlement management transaction that you have entered in a settlement document or supplier settlement list. This function is combined with status control for the settlement management document. Depending on the outcome of the profit simulation, the system assigns a status that determines how the document is subsequently processed. 
Key features: In Customizing, you can define minimum margins for a positive outcome of a settlement management transaction entered in a settlement document. You can maintain separate statuses that define the profit simulation for the document as positive or negative, which you use to block or release documents for subsequent processing. You can enter texts for these application statuses in Customizing. In addition, you can define whether profit simulation is to be carried out automatically or manually. For more information, see Carrying Out Profit Simulation Automatically and Carrying Out Profit Simulation Manually. In the document display, you can display the result of profit simulation as a message list or overview tree. In addition, reports RWLF8004 and RWLF8005 are available for carrying out profit simulation for a user-defined number of documents. The list display then contains the result for each document involved. From here, you can go to a detailed view that represents the analysis as an overview tree or a message list. Business Transaction Events  Process screen 00420001 can be used for calculating profit in profit simulation. This enables you to replace function module WLF_PROFIT_SIM_WITH_BALANCE as provided by SAP with your own function module. In doing so, you can adjust the profit simulation process as delivered by SAP to meet your requirements, thereby also avoiding the need to make changes to your program coding. More than one function module can be defined in the process screen. The following priorities exist when displaying function modules: Customer-specific function moduleFunction module belonging to a partnerFunction module for an SAP application The customer-specific function module has the highest priority, followed by the partner’s function module and then the SAP function module. Use template function module SAMPLE_PROCESS_00420001 as a template for your own customer-specific function module or your partner function module. The module detailed above also contains documentation that helps you when programming. For more information see the Customizing documentation for Settlement Management under Using Transaction Events.

Create Reclassific. Version - Merchandise Category
Application component: Merchandise Categories
App type: SAP GUI
Description: You can change the assignment of articles to merchandise categories and merchandise category levels in merchandise category hierarchies, which allows you to plan your reclassification for a specific date initially without actually carrying out the restructuring. The system runs the checks as planned in a simulated reclassification run on the date you have specified. You can save the simulation run with a temporary number thus allowing you to change it at any time and run new checks. When you have finally defined all the conditions and requirements for reclassification, you can activate the classification run in your system. 
Business roles: Master Data Specialist - Product Data (Retail)
Reclassify Article - Merchandise Category
Application component: Merchandise Categories
App type: SAP GUI
Description: You can assign individual articles belonging to a different merchandise category, without first creating a reclassification version. 
Key features: The system helps you select articles and new merchandise categories.You can determine the characteristic profile automatically or enter a new characteristic profile. If you use the automatic method, the system adopts the article characteristic that may already exist in the target merchandise category. The characteristic values in the source must be defined in the target in full. Example When you reclassify an article containing the characteristic Color and the values red, green, and yellow for a merchandise category that recognized the Color characteristic but for which only black and white are recognized values, the system does not adopt the characteristics. You can decide which subsequent activities are to be processed by the system. The following activities are possible: Change order itemsThe system checks in which open orders the article appears and, if necessary, changes the assignment of the appropriate order items to the merchandise category. Change allocation itemsThe system checks in which allocation tables the article appears and, if necessary, changes the assignment of the appropriate allocation table items to the merchandise category. You can exclude allocation tables from this, however. Create new listing conditionsThe system checks whether listing conditions are required for the article. If they are required, the system creates them. Change old listing conditionsThe system checks whether listing conditions exist for the article. If they do not exist, the system creates them.  You can enter a listing method for the reclassified article.You can specify whether a test run is to be processed without posting any data.Regardless of the method, the system creates a log containing details of the individual activities. You can save the settings made in the selection screen for this function as variants and upload them whenever necessary.You can run reclassification in the background and schedule them for a specific time period.

Maintain Characteristic Values
Application component: Merchandise Categories
App type: SAP GUI
Description: You use this function to enter characteristic values for a characteristic. At characteristic value level, there are up to ten customer-specific fields that you can use for customer-specific data. The system does not save the characteristic values in the standard classification database tables but rather in separate characteristic value tables. This allows you to manage characteristics with a large number of characteristic values. 
Key features: You can assign a characteristic type to a characteristic. Defined characteristic types are color and size characteristics (main size and secondary size). The system uses characteristic types to simplify processing in color and size-related processes, for example, in markdown planning.When you have generic articles that have two size dimensions (for example, waist and leg measurements), having two size characteristics allows you to assign different characteristic types to each characteristic. This means that you can use both sizes in planning or reporting. Note If you do not want to enter characteristics under color or size but you do want to use separate characteristic value storage, you can use the characteristic type Not Typed. You can assign a check option to a characteristic to define whether the system is to perform checks when assigning characteristic values in the article master maintenance.You can use Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to adapt checks in a customer-specific manner. For more information, see Customizing for Logistics - General under Article Master  Retail-Specific Settings  Settings for New Characteristic Value Storage  Enhancements Using Business Add-Ins.. You can enter characteristic values and descriptions for the characteristic. To enter a different language descriptions for a characteristic value, choose  language descriptions.The sequence in which you order the characteristic values in the table determines how the characteristic values are sorted, for example, in the matrix display of the generic article. The Sort Position field displays the sort position of the characteristic value for information purposes. However, you cannot process it.Depending on your settings in Customizing for characteristic value storage, you can enter up to ten additional information for characteristic values in customer-specific fields. Example You can use the customer-specific fields to map different size ranges for different countries. Example of Customer-Specific Field UsageCharacteristic value  Description  US  IT  FR   36  36s  S  40  38N   38  38s  S  42  40N   40  40s  L  44  42N    You can use this data in your processes to convert size values. Using a BAdI also allows you to control the customer-specific fields. For more information, see Customizing for Logistics - General under Article Master  Retail-Specific Settings  Settings for New Characteristic Value Storage  Enhancements Using Business Add-Ins  BAdI: Control of Additional Customer Fields.  
Business roles: Master Data Specialist - Product Data (Retail)
Maintain Groups - Characteristic Values
Application component: Merchandise Categories
App type: SAP GUI
Description: Grouping characteristic values simplifies the search for characteristic values when you are creating articles. You use existing characteristic values to create a hierarchy grouping, which enables you to divide the characteristic value total into manageable partial quantities. You can assign a characteristic value to several groups. 
Key features: You can group characteristic values from one characteristic as required, and arrange characteristic value groups and individual characteristic values in a hierarchy. You can assign a characteristic value to several characteristic value groups.You define the hierarchy in the navigation area. A characteristic value group corresponds to a node. In the work area, you can assign the characteristic values you require to individual nodes. Note When you are processing an article, the system only displays the characteristic values that you have assigned to a characteristic value group in the search help for characteristic value selection. You can only enter other characteristic values manually. You can assign merchandise categories to a characteristic value group to specify that the characteristic values in this characteristic value group are only used in the assigned merchandise categories. If you do not assign anything to it, the characteristic value group is valid for all merchandise categories.To assign characteristic values to a node in the hierarchy, or to restrict the use of characteristic values to certain merchandise categories, you use the functions in the Characteristic Value Assignment and Merchandise Category Restriction work areas.You can, for example, use multiple selection to assign several characteristic values in one process step, or to assign several merchandise categories by selecting one characteristics profile. You can display change documents for the grouping data.

Display Change Documents - Replacement Article
Application component: Article
App type: SAP GUI
Description: You can use this report to display change documents for follow-up/replacement article relationships (substitution assignments). If you create, change or delete substitution assignments, the system updates these changes in change documents. Every time the substitution assignments are saved, the system creates a change document for each original article number. The number of the original article is used as the object ID for the change document header. The change document displays all the changes that you have made since you last saved the substitution assignments in which this article is the original article. The individual items in the change document specify the fields that you have changed in a substitution assignment and the substitution assignments that you have created or deleted. Together, all the change documents for a substitution assignment provide its change history. 
Key features: You can use the following criteria to select change documents: Original article numberLast changed byDate as of which the system is to display change documents You can display change documents in two different views: If you set the List Viewer indicator, the system displays the change document headers and the change document items in a complete view.If you do not set the  List Viewer indicator, the system displays the change document headers in an overview. You must use a pushbutton to call the change document items.
Reorganize Replacement Article
Application component: Article
App type: SAP GUI
Description: You can use this report to delete follow-up/replacement article relationships (substitution assignments) that have expired from the system. Instead of deleting individual assignments from just one substitution profile when processing substitution assignments, reorganizing allows you to delete all the assignments that correspond to your selection criteria in just one step.

In addition to the basic article data, you can also copy other master data, such as purchasing info records, purchase and sales conditions, bills of materials, and replenishment data. Note The following features are relevant if you are using the classical SAP GUI transaction Copy Article.For information about the SAP Fiori app Manage Product Master, please see Manage Product Master. 
Key features: If you want to create a new article master record, enter the number of a source article. In the Target Article group box, you can make different entries for merchandise category, article type, article category and article hierarchy. You can assign an article number to the target article to be created, or you can specify that the system assigns the article number internally.For more information about internal assignment of numbers, see Article Numbers. If you want to change an existing master record, you enter the number of the target article to be changed, in addition to the number of the source article. The system only copies the data segments of the source article that are not yet available in the target article.When you create and change article master records, you can define which data the system is to copy from the source article. You can do this using indicators and filters in the Define Processing Volume group box. Segment FiltersYou use segment filters to define the data segments of the general and additional article data that the system is to copy. Key FiltersIf you want to copy segments of an article that occur more than once, you can use a key filter to specify the organizational levels that are to be copied. For example, you can just copy existing distribution chains from the source article to the target article. Variant FiltersIf you want to copy data from one generic article to another, you can use a variant filter to define which variants of the source article the system is to copy. Alternative VariantsIf you copy data from one generic article to another with this indicator set but no variant filter, the system copies all variants without taking into account any possible differences. Site Variances If you set this indicator, the system copies all the site data from the source article to the target article.If you do not set the indicator, the system only copies the article data to the reference sites. The system uses the reference site data and the Customizing settings in the article master as the basis for all the other site data it generates.  Note The system does not copy planning or movement data. You can specify that the system create an application log and display the progress of the copy process.You can display the article master records for source articles and target articles, and after copying is completed you can change the article master record for the newly created article.

The reference module can consist of any number of reference articles, which you can weight individually. You can change existing reference modules and assign them manually or automatically. When you assign references automatically, the system looks for suitable reference articles using several criteria, including the following: Merchandise category Article hierarchy Article attributes You can assign weighted articles to a reference determination schema stored in the article master. Before assigning, the system carries out a listing check and evaluates the listing periods . During automatic processing, you also have to take into consideration that: Changes to the merchandise category and the article hierarchy do not automatically lead to new reference assignments. You can use general settings in Customizing to stop the system overwriting existing references. If the Customizing setting for the structured article is changed after you have created the reference assignment, the reference assignment is not automatically adjusted. During manual processing, you can use the following functions: You can transfer reference module assignments for new articles to other plants. For more information, see Outbound Interface for Reference Modules .
