1.2: CAFE

CAFÉ

Café process in Walmart is a business verticle inside a specific store where they sell only
café related articles like coke, burger, sandwich to site an example.

Café is a storage location where specific inventory is stored of Café articles as per the
given example above. They procure ingredients required for burger or sandwich or any
other Café article.

Creation of Ingredient Articles

Article Master is a term used in the Retail Industry equivalent to the Material Master in
Standard. Article master is created for all ingredients that are used in the Café.

Following are the Transaction codes that are used for Article Maintenance:

MM41 – Create New Article

MM42 – Change Existing Article
MM43 - Display Article
MM44 – Display Change Documents

Important Views of the Article Master Data

- Basic Data
This is essentially the basic data view of the material master.

- Listing
Since retail customers have huge number of stores, logistics views are not created
store by store, instead with a mass process called ‘Listing’

- Purchasing
Purchasing view would contain details that are required for purchasing. This view is
mandatory for all procurement activities. This applies even to those articles which are
being given as freebies.

- Accounting
Accounting view will have details on the valuation of the material. This view is also
mandatory for procurement. If this view is not created in the article master, goods receipt
posting will be difficult, as the system will give an error message.

Create PR and PO
A Purchase Requisition is created for all the ingredient articles for which procurement is
to be done.
A purchase order can be either created manually or an Auto PO is generated cause of the
replenishment program in the background.
