Advice needed on CRM Standalone

Hi.
We are going to use CRM for our presales transactions (activities, leads, opportunities) and IC help desk. We will not replicate any documents to R/3 hence the decision to implement CRM as a standalone component.
Is this a good way of implementing CRM based on our requirements? Or do you recommend otherwise?
Thanks.

Hi Rosette,
As far as:
1. you are not planning to use products and pricing,
2. do not want to perform any analytics and
3. only going to use Activities, Leads and Opportunities,
I think you can use CRM as a standalone. But also consider if the rest of the sales cycle are to implemented anytime in the future, then it would require little more effort for the modification.
Hope this answers your question.
Jash.

  • Create Free Goods in CRM Standalone

    This question is for Paul.
    Thanks Paul for your reply to my other question yesterday and I did award points. However, since I am using a standalone CRM there is no way for me to replicate any free goods condition type from from ECC.
    My question is, if I have a product A and product B in the CRM standalone system, what configuration I need to make so that when I enter product A in my sales order, product B will be added to the next order line as free goods?
    Your input is appreciated.
    Leon

    Hi Leon,
    There is no need to create separate free goods materials/products in CRM. You can make use of the existing materials/products as free goods by assigning appropriate free good condition records. In general free goods master data like materials and pricing condition records can be downloaded from R/3 into CRM. You need to do only the necessary free goods customizing activities under SPRO > CRM > Basic Functions > Free Goods > Setup Free Goods
    Please refer to the below SAP help document on free goods for complete understanding : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/b7/4a893a8729337be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
    Refer to the section ‘Replicating Condition Customizing (SAP CRM)’ in C03 best practice document for free good condition records master data download into CRM
    Refer to the section ‘Replicating Specific Conditions’ in B09 best practice document for free good customizing data download into CRM
    Refer to the section ‘Free Goods’ in C34 best practice document for free good CRM customizing activities.

  • Billing in CRM standalone

    Hello everyone,
                Can anyone answer my query as we dont have ECC or any other backend as the customer is only service customer,in which can billing be done in CRM standalone without ECC as backend. pls let me know the process on how to do it or is there any other way to do it.
    Regards,
    Shiva Puneeth.

    Couple of things to Clarify here.. There is no such thing as Financial postings in CRM. If you are referring to Billing..CRM can support creation of Debit Memos only and nothing beyond that. So DMs will become your billing document and any other subsequent Accounting entries are dependent on external system like ECC.
    As the other person said, you need to configure the whole 9 yard on Billing in CRM using CRM BEA
    Thanks

  • SAP Business One 8.81 PL08 Mobile APP CRM Standalone User Access issue

    Dear All
    Is any facing the problem of Mobile application user with CRM Standalone license ,this user always has a permission denied problem (he is assigned all the licenses required .and authorization on the SAP is full .  SSL certificate is installed ). I have installed the troubleshooting (.zip) file which dosent show up the panel .
    Any Idea how to resolve?
    Regards
    Dayal

    Hi Dayal,
    well, it is neither recommended, nor tested or supported. Such installation attempt would go on your own responsibility. Of course you can try if, for example, a newer version from 8.82 works here, but this should be tested extensively, depending on how other processe are based on it.
    Actually your 8.81 PL08 should not have reported problem since B1if version 1.10.0 should have been included in this package and last update action, maybe you can check here again.
    In general, we recommend you upgrade to version 9.1 currently, unlike version 8.81 this version is in maintenance and offers all improvements, new features and bugfixes from the last 3,5 years.
    I'm sure it's worth to consider a general upgrade.
    I wish you success!
    Best, Peter

  • Advice needed on buying iphone as gift

    I went to apple store, they do not want to sell iphone to me unless I sign AT&T 2 years plan. I thought AT&T has locked the phone and users must subscribe in order to use it. Why Apple store still not allow me to buy?
    Please advice, if I want to buy online iphone for my brother, do I or my brother have obligation to sign out AT&T plan?
    One more advice needed, I found the shipment takes weeks, do I have option to arrange for self-collection?
    My brother birthday is coming soon, I need above advice urgently.
    Thank you very much

    I'm guessing English is not your first language. It's possible that you misunderstood them. Apple Store employees won't refuse to sell you an iPhone and you don't have to sign up for service in the store.
    Well that's not entirely true.
    Apple Stores have been instructed not to sell you an iPhone if any of the following is true:
    • You state that you will not be signing up with AT&T.
    • You do not have an ID from a US state, also indicating you will not be activating with AT&T
    • You do not have a credit card
    For example, I've seen US Apple Store managers refuse to sell iPhones to European residents because of the AT&T lock-in.

  • Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed

    Hi everyone,
    I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
    I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
    I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.

    I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
    Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
    Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
    Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
    Throw in 8GB RAM.
    Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
    Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
    Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
    Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro.

  • Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....advice needed!

    Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....have now lost all my music from my itunes, but I can't transfer back on from my ipod. Also had to register my laptop (same) as another computers, so now no music showing as purchased, though I have. Also have hours of uploaded music from my own purchased, legitimate CDs, but won't transfer from ipod...it says it will erase. So very frustrated....thanks mr technician!    PLEASE  ....help, advice needed!

    I believe that if you do a clean reinstall from your HD's recovery sector (D) or Recovery disks, the hard drive sector C is wiped clean. Everything goes, apps, data, address books, music, pix, viruses
    Is that what you did?

    Hi
    That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
    Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
    I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
    Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
    The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
    Hope that helps
    Paul
    PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
    after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
    You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

  • S_DEVELOP authorization needed for CRM Web Client in SAP CRM 7.0?

    We implemented an own WebUI component in SAP CRM 2007 and use it in others components (with USAGE).
    After we transport the component in SAP CRM 7.0 we always got an error CX_BSP_DLC_CONFIG_GENERAL_ERR at loading the component. But if we set the permission to SAP_ALL all thing work fine.
    In SAP Note Nr. 1367944 we read:
    "It is not possible to run the CRM Web Client without the S_DEVELOP, activity=03
    authorization because it is needed by the Web Client Framework.
    The S_DEVELOP authorizatin is part of the SAP_CRM_UIU_FRAMEWORK PFCG role, which must
    be assigned to every user."
    "This dependency has been removed in CRM 7.0."
    Do we need to install some other SAP Notes at SAP CRM 7.0?
    Many thanks for advices!
    Handri Gunawan

    Hi Handri,
    I asked my collegue here, who created the note.
    The note is correct, in CRM 7.0 you do not need S_DEVELOP anymomre.
    The error that you have might occur because of another reason.
    Could you track the call stack of this exception?
    And send me back the call stack?

  • Advice needed for changing code within the Web IC...

    Hi,
    I need to change some code within the GET_QUERY_RESULT Method, which is found:
    BSP->Z_CRM_IC
    View->AuiSearch
    Controller class ZL_CRM_IC_AuiSearch_impl
    Method do_handle_event
    Method eh_onsearch
    Method get_query_result
    At present the method get_query_result belongs to class CL_CRM_AUI_QUERY_SERVICE.
    I can create a subclass from this and call it ZL_CRM_AUI_QUERY_SERVIC, then redefine the method get_query_class, and then make the appropriate changes. But that may be all uneccessary. What I don't know is how to ensure this modified code can be called.
    I have already made changes for method DO_INIT_CONTEXT, hence the reason the controller class ZL_CRM_IC_AUISEARCH_IMPL is identified. But this was simple because the view linked directly to this whereas you can see the code I need to change is further down in process chain.
    I know that method get_query_result calls a number of BADI's, but these BADI's are too low for the information that I need and therfore really need to make my code changes in the get_query_result method.
    I have been reading as much as I can on this subject, but without much success and therefore really count on experienced developers like yourselves to steer me in the right direction, or give advice.
    Jas

    I will not suggest to put your Enhancements into CL_CRM_AUI_QUERY_SERVICE.
    Rather in  Component BT  -> Class CL_CRM_BTIL .  AUi Query Service will Internally call the BOL Component ( get query result )
    In your Framework Profile Config  , you specify the Component Set  . Ex: ALL
    Component set have a List of Component Ex BP , BT .
      SPRO-> CRM -> CRM Cross Application Components -> Generic Interaction layer -> Basic Settings
    Now you can have your Custom , Component Set ( Ex : ZALL ) and Component ( ( Ex ; ZBT , Totally advisable for CIC Development Framework )
    Have BT Copied into ZBT and  Specify  ZL_CRM_BTIL (  Inherited from CL_CRM_BTIL )
    And in your Custom Component Set , Specify ZBT instead of BT . 
    Now Specify your Custom Component Set in your Framework Profile .
    Now you got the Enhancement Spot in  ZL_CRM_BTIL->GET_QUERY_RESULT
    Let me know if it make sense

  • Native Java license management advice needed

    Hi,
    I create and sell a Java application. I currently have a hokey licensing mechanism.
    For my next major release, I'm looking for something much more secure and flexible. My requirements are as follows:
    - Must work on all platforms compatable with Sun Java (I care about Windows, Mac and Linux)
    - Must allow for different features: I want to be able to check "Does the user have a license that allows <this>" or "Does the user have a license that allows <that>".
    - Ideally doesn't require me to use an obfuscator...but I'm not complete opposed. I think I have situations where I'm using reflection, but I might be able to do something about those.
    - Must allow for expiring licenses as well as none-expiring licenses.
    - Must allow for licenses to be tied to a host somehow...as well as licenses that aren't tied to a host.
    - Ideally doesn't have a huge footprint.
    My app is always used in standalone mode...frequently on laptops that aren't connected to anything. A license server is not needed.
    Thanks for any advice!
    BTW, I've browsed over the following so far:
    "EasyLicenser" by Agilis - Has a weird pricing scheme
    "Java License Kit" - Requires an obfuscator

    Hi Vincent,
    What kind of controller do you have ? Which version of Linux are you using ?
    Here is some useful KBs to check the NI drivers / Linux version compatibility :
    What Linux Distributions Do National Instruments Drivers and Software Support?
    NI-VISA Support in Linux
    Error 1073807343 Using GPIB-USB-HS in Linux
    Hope this will help !

  • Advice needed about lens correction plugin's for Aperture 2.1

    Please can I have some advice about lens correction plugin's for Aperture 2.1?
    I see that the Apple Aperture Downloads site promotes two:
    1)LensFix 4.3
    An external editor. The Aperture Downloads site calls it Lens Fix 4.3 but when you go the developers site (Kekus Digital) it only shows LensFix CI is this the same thing? Am I supposed to download the PTLens database from epaperpress.com and install manually before it is any good?
    OR
    2)Edit FixLens 1.6
    Their site looks very poorly designed and the link from the Apple page does not go to the Aperture plugin, you have to drill down until you find it! Does it use the exif data about your lens and the zoom setting it was on automatically or do you need to configure it each time?
    Which one did you buy? Was it worth it?
    Thanks for your time!

    LensFix CI is the same thing. It has the standalone version, the PS plug-in and the Aperture plug-in.
    I've used LensFix via PS for a long time. It's great but... it can be a bit buggy if the image in use is 16-bit. Often it will work on the first image or two and then crash on the next.
    I am told it's not compatible with PS CS4.
    Another option is PTLens. It's also a PS plug-in and an Aperture plug-in. It's supposed to be CS4 compatible.
    http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html
    It uses the same database of lens corrections as LensFix.
    FWIW, I've tended to do this kind of work in Photoshop, either round tripping an image in Aperture or exporting an image from Aperture. Since Aperture plug-ins are going to 16-bit Tiff files anyway and since most images (if they are final files for clients) need some more PS work, I just go that route.

  • Multiple device syncing advice needed and appreciated.

    Hey everyone, happy holidays to everyone
    I need some advice from you Apple lovers out there if you can spend some time replying.  Thanks alot in advanced
    My devices and current status
    13" Macbook Pro with 8gig RAM with lion OS - Mosty used for word processing, DJing, low Internet usage now that i have Ipad, photo management, DVD ripping etc etc - i use this as my main device to organise emails and i purchase most apps, music and films on this device too
    Ipad2 - Mostly for media content, web browsing, Youtube, playing games, FB, watching films. I use this device for fun not functionality or work related things
    Iphone 4 - Usual phone usage, I use my phone as my main device for iCal, contacts, checking emails/messages on the move
    2GB time capsule - brand new in the box as yet unused
    Generally speaking i get confused or change my mind frequently about what to sync to which device, i started off using icloud but then things got confusing and i had things real messed up, multiple same contacts, apps on differnet device, differnet music on all 3 devices so now for the moment i think of my Macbook as the main device with both my iphone and ipad backed up to the Macbook. I then back up all of this on a regular 500g external Hard Drive.
    So my questions are as follows
    1. Can and should i use icloud to back up my devices and if so how should i do this effectivly
    2. What syncing procedure would suit me best
    3. How should i integrate Timecapsule to my devices
    Any other suggestions would really be apreciated
    Thanks again

    The second part puzzles me - excuse me (but i honestly don't know) do both units give off a wifi signal of roughly equal 'amounts'?
    Yes. Since both are connected by "Ethernet" each base station is its own wireless network and you have a few options on how best to configure them.
    One of those options is to give both wireless networks the same Network Name (or SSID) so that you can, for example, "walk" a laptop from one to the other and stay connected. This is known as a roaming network.
    If this is something that you don't desire or have a requirement for, then leaving them as two separate wireless networks would work just as well.
    So what i am asking - i guess - is can i increase the distance the wifi signal reaches of the second unit (the time capsule - that is wired to the airport extreme)
    To extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC) you would need another 802.11n AirPort, like the AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). This should get a stronger signal out to the garden. Of course, it would really depend on the distance from the TC to where you would like to place the AXn to get the best results.
    Let me know if you need help configuring the base stations.
