Activating IPC in CRM 5.0

Hi
We have just finished installing CRM 5.0. As per my understanding IPC is part of CRM 5.0. Now I want to activate it so that I can use it in my applications for pricing, configuration & taxation.
Please tells me the steps required to be performed to make it work fully. Also right now my CRM system does not have any data. How to verify that, now IPC is running properly or not.
Thanx in advance.
Cheers

Thanx guys!!! for ur reply. I have checked system VMC is working fine.
Now how will I come to know that SPE is working fine, since I haven't downloaded condition records into system.
Also when I look at middleware parameters, there are some parameters that need to be defined to run SCE. Also in basic settings in SPRO, we have to define RFC for dispatcher & SCE. Now as per notes no RFC needs to be defined for the same.
so shall I leave them as it is, & how to varify that SCE is also running fine, since again I haven't downloaded products from ECC.
Thanx in advance.
Cheers

IPC in CRM 5.0 - Configuration guide

hello,
i'm looking for a configuration guide for IPC
under CRM 5 standalone (no R3 backend ).
thnx ..

Hallo Blackman,
Did you try working with the ´best practices'. currently we are using the BP for the CRM 5.0 implementation. This should be sufficient I suppose.

Read the BP and it should be sufficient.

Impact of activating IPC in classic scenario

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing SAP SRM Bidding application and we are into SAP SRM 7.01 version with SP012.
We are running in classic scenario.
In case of bidding, in responsee comparison screen - the base price will be displayed along with freight price as net price. For eg base price is 100 and freight is 2% the net price would be 102 and the same is displayed in the std SAP SRM bid comparison screen. However when we implement the bidding engine to our client system, the bid comparison screen net price displays only the base price and freightht is not taken intoaccount. On analysis we found IPC is not activated and only Classic Light pricing is active. We believe this issue would resolve if we activate IPC.
Can anyone please suggest what would be the impact if we activate the IPC for classic scenario?
Your earlier response would behighly appreciated.
regards
Sundar

Hi Sundar,
Activating IPC is always suggested in SRM, simplified pricing(classic light) is actual the exception scenario as far as I know.
You always have the option to change from simplified pricing to normal pricing using IPC. You can change from IPC pricing back to simplified pricing as well.

What is activity in SAP CRM with examples plz?

Dear All
What is activity in SAP CRM with examples plz?
Thanks
CRM Newbee

Activities are explained in CR010 & CR300. It is a transaction type used to record sales activities e.g. telephone call, email or customer visit or a follow up call, request to fill up a questionnaire or request to set the status to complete etc. in customer/partner engagement lifecycle. This has mainly information like: Activity type partner, texts & dates. However it is an order document like opportunity, sales order etc. & extra information can be added by including customer set types like we do in opportunity, quotation, sales order, conttract etc.
Activities are a central part of SAP CRM & used across application e.g. Interaction Center, Sales, Marketing etc.
I hope this should be sufficient & helpful.
If you need to understand more about basic concept of Activities please see the dropdown list for Activity types..this will give you a good idea as to what are the kinds of business transactions which can be activities.
Regarding Quotation thing...Quotation is not an activity but 'Create Quotation' or 'Create Quotation as follow up to a lead or opportunity' can be an activity.
Thanks,
Vivek

Why IPC uses CRM as database and not R/3 ?

Hi ,
can any one help me with an answer for the following question :
<b>Why IPC uses CRM as database and not R/3 ?</b>
Points will be rewarded for helpful answer
thanks
ritu

Hi
IPC have Sales Pricing Engine, Pricing Configuration engine and TTE which helps to maintain the similar R3 pricing settings. As you are aware pricing in R3 is determined by Sales area, Cupp, DPP, so IPC is capable of determining the Pricing using same R3 standard procedure. T
This is not available in CRM, so CRM needs IPC to undertake the determine pricing/ calculate the pricing of the products.

Problems with IPC on CRM

Hi, I have a CRM 4.0 system, when I try to create a SLA service contract, I get an error "No connection could be made to IPC", I guess this is normal because I didn't install an IPC server, my question is
Is possible to disable the IPC on the CRM ?
Or the IPC must be installed ?
Thanks

Business Activity in SAP CRM 7.0 WebUI

Hello SAP Experts,
In SAP CRM 7.0, under maintain activities, I have assigned categories to class interaction log, appointments and tasks.
The same categories have been assigned to some business activities. For example Category Sales Call (001) is assigned to Interaction Log. The sales call is in turn assigned to Transaction Type- Business Activity.
When I log on to web ui, I am able to see this business activity under Interaction Log and create the transaction.
In the same way, when I assign category u2013CX4 (Telephone Call) to class Phone Call to a Transaction Type-Sales Call (0001-business activity), I am not able to see the same in web ui.
The same holds good when categories are assigned to Class Miscellaneous, Letter, Meeting, E-mail etc, are in turn assigned to transaction types are visible in web ui.
Kindly clarify, whether all the business activities fall under APPOINTMENT, INTERACTION LOG, TASK, E-MAIL AND VISIT PLAN in WEB UI.
The other category class, apart from the above mentioned, where can they be used?
If yes, how do I do the customizing which would enable me to see all in WEB UI?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Srinivasan.R

Hi Raghavendran,
I am facing the same problem. Other than Appointments,Tasks,Email and Interaction record I cannot create any other Activities.
I defined a new Transaction type assigned the category Misc but cannot create the Activity on WEBUI. As Raja suggested I have also assigned the Channel as WEBUI and ICWEBCLIENT but still does not work. Is there any Role specific customization that needs to be performed?
Please let me know if your issue is resolved and how you resolved it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pooja

When an User sends a Email with HTML attachment to CRM System, an Activity is generated at CRM end.
But when i try opening the Attachment in the Activity,it doesn't open.It works fine for Word Document and PDF attachments.
Can anyone suggest me how this activity is generated when an email comes.Any processing steps or Configuration to be done.Need to know whether HTML format is Supported?????
Thanks,

Hi Anuja,
You need to specify the transaction type to be created on sending the mail through campaign at the following:
IMG -> MARKETING-> MARKETING PLANNING AND CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT -> CAMPAIGN EXECUTION -> DEFINE COMMUNICATION MEDIUM. This will result in creation of activity.

//Create the context
IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();

I know there exist standard workflow in cProjects triggered by changes of statuses or other changes to project elements. However, I wonder if and how this can trigger activites in CRM.
