Hi Vibhor, hi Shiva,

For S/4 HANA Retail there is no Best practice is available (yet).

SAP provides the following option currenly:

For S/4HANA, there is no Best Practices for Retail available, and none is planned (so far as I know).

Instead, you should consider use of SAP Model Company for Core Retail.

When is it specifically expected for SAP to release best practices for Retail/Merchandising inside Model Company please? Thank you.

The link you have shared is best practice for CAR and its integration with S/4HANA. It doesn't have any best practice guide for retail process for S/4 HANA therefore not much helpful.
