  Vendor/article discontinuation is a process in SAP IS Retail (Customer) that allows a vendor to discontinue an article from their inventory. This process is used when a vendor no longer wishes to carry a particular item or when the item has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The process involves removing the item from the vendor's inventory and updating the system to reflect the change. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To discontinue an article, the vendor must first log into their SAP IS Retail (Customer) system. Once logged in, they can navigate to the “Vendor/Article Discontinuation” page. Here, they can select the article they wish to discontinue and confirm the action. The system will then update the inventory and remove the item from the vendor's list of available items. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When discontinuing an article, it is important to ensure that all related information is updated in the system. This includes any pricing information, product descriptions, and images associated with the item.
