AFS-Retail Interface: Business Scenario
You would like to use both R/3 systems, AFS and SAP Retail. Facilitated by the AFS-Retail interface, it is possible to share the information between the two R/3 systems and to set up a Customer-Supplier relationship, that is, the AFS system being a supplier for the Retail system.
The AFS-Retail interface facilitates the sharing of information between two different SAP systems:
A standard SAP Retail system is a completely integrated retailing system. It provides the functions necessary for modeling business processes within a retail company. The business process area ”Retailing” comprises the procurement, storage, distribution, and sales of merchandise. SAP Retail supports both Wholesale and Retail scenarios.
AFS enhances R/3 standard components in order to meet the unique requirements of the apparel and footwear industry. The result is a comprehensive solution for AFS business and logistics needs.
The main strength of SAP Retail is distribution and the main strength of AFS is the manufacturing of size-dependent products, as in the apparel and footwear industry. For this reason, AFS has a supplying role for retail companies. These two types of companies have a Customer-Supplier relationship. The interface considers the AFS system as a supplier of the Retail system and Retail as a Customer of the AFS company.

AFS Material with Grid to Retail Generic Article

SAP AG 2000
AFS Material without Grid to Retail Single Article
An AFS Material without a grid is transferred to SAP Retail and established as Single Article.
The mapping of the master records is done via the EAN.

Information Flow
The data that needs to be shared between Retail and AFS are the materials and their prices, orders, shipping and invoice information. In SAP terms, this means that AFS Materials are sent to Retail with accompanying prices, and this allows the exchange of business documents (such as Purchase Orders) from Retail to AFS system, as well as subsequent documents (such as Shipping Notifications and Invoices).
