Which to Choose SAP Trade Promotion Management (TPM) vs SAP Promotion Management for Retail (PMR) ?

[anirbanroy_in]

Hello Experts,

In context of Retail Process for B2C business (small /large customer). In S/4 Hana Retail there is standard functionality of Promotion Management & Execution. However it lacks the capability of advanced promotion planning and optimization.

SAP has 2 products which augments promotion capability : 1: SAP PMR and SAP TPM (with CRM)

SAP PMR - SAP product for Promotions and add-on to retail, SAP Promotions management in Retail (SAP PMR) with functions of SAP CAR DDF , gives the users a capability of Promotion Planning (Offer/Events), forecasting , what-in analysis and performance.

SAP TPM = Also SAP Trade Promotion Management is based on CRM and Support customer planning and optimization by combining volume, margin, assortment, promotion, and financial planning. This can also leverage integration with SAP CAR DDF for purpose of forecasting.

My Questions are :

a ) Which is the right product for purpose for promotion in context of B2C business for Retailer (with clients as individuals and also small/large companies?

c) Is TPM more relevant for B2B business model , i.e Distributors ?

b) If both can be used for a B2C model , but the business reasons are different then which reason drives adopting TPM and which drives adopting PMR?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi.

Is it possible to Trade Promotion Management be integrated with GRC?. I have been researching but I have not been able to find out if this is possible. Could you clarify if it is possible to do this integration?

Thanks
