Autonumbering when creating Marketing plan or Campaign

Is there anyway to eliminate the autonumbering when you create marketing plan, or campaigns in CRM 7.0?

Hi,
You can use following BADI to generate your own number for Marketing Plans and Campaigns.
CRM_MKTPL_OL_OBJ
Have a look at the default implementation of this BADI :
Class : CL_DEF_CRM_MKTPL_OL_OBJ
Method : GENERATE_EXTERNAL_ID

Marketing Planning and Campaign Management

Hi Gurus
How to send Marketing Planning and Campaign Management from CRM system to Other ERP system
How to send Marketing Planning and Campaign Management from CRM system to Other R/3 system
Thanks
Mahi

Hi Mahi,
The Integration of SAP CRM with R/3 will be
Project System, Finance, Accounting
for that u ve to check the check box in Mkt plan onwards
in ECC u can see in PS
Marketing plans and campaigns can be used stand alone in the CRM system. However, when CRM
is integrated with other SAP systems (BW, R/3, etc.) increased functionality is possible.
Planned values (e.g. planned costs, revenues, etc.) for marketing plans and campaigns can be written
to a BW infocube. These planned values can then be used in reporting to match actual values, for
example, actual revenues and costs.
When linked with R/3, actual costs related to campaigns and marketing plans can be captured by
using the financial and accounting functionality in R/3.
These actual costs can then be extracted to the same infocube in BW to allow for planned versus
actual costs for a campaign.
Reward points if helpful

Mass change for existing Marketing Plan and campaign

HI CRM Experts,
Is there any way we can update all the Marketing Plan/Element/Campaign/Campaign Element with authorization group. At the moment we have all the Marketing Plan hierarchy uploaded in the system however authorization group got missed. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashutosh

Hello Ashutosh,
Hope your issue has already solved.
If not just a suggestion, write a small program fetching the projects from CGPL_PROJECT and loop it into table CRM_MKTPL_ATTR and update the field AUTH_GROUP with your auth group values.
Ofcourse definetely all the Projects will not have same auth groups, so put your what ever logic into the your reports based on additional attributes.
I am closing this thread since there is no update from past 6 months and hoping you issue was resolved.
Thanks & Regards

Tab Budget Allocation in Marketing Plan and Campaign

Hi All,
I have problem with tab budget allocation in marketing plan and campaign (t-code: CRM_MKTPL).
Tab budget allocation is missing.
my question is where we define tab budget allocation in SPRO?
My system is CRM 5.0
Thanks and Regards,
Fariz

Hi Fariz,
On assigning one of the Plannig Profile group from the available drop down either in Marketing Plan or Campaign you should be getting additional tabs like Cost tab, Key Fig tab etc. In cost tab you can allocate the budget for Advertise, Promotion etc. As Gaurav had rightly pointed out this requires BPS integration. For any other cost planning requirement apart from the given standard key figures you would require to define them as key figures in BPS and put them in planning profiles.
Following is the path where we can define Key Figures in spro
IMG-->CRM > Marketing> Marketing Planning and Campaign management --> Key Figures Planning
Hope this might help to start with Key Figure planning

"Initial column cannot be generated" error when creating a planning book

Hi,
I have an error when creating a planning book with the planning book wizard. In the tab "data view", I enter values for the "Visible" and "Input" fields and validate. The following error is generated: "Initial column cannot be generated" and then "Maintain the time for the 'column visible from' field". I tried with different dates, and get the same error.
I am running SCM 5.0.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Regards,
Mikael.

Hi,
Generally these error come when we manually enter the value in the Visible and Input column. Instead we should try select value from the Drill down options which gets generated based on the Time Bucket Profile you have selected as input for Planning Horizon.

System Status Authorizations for Marketing Plans and Campaigns

Hi Experts,
We are using the Standard System Statuses on the Marketing Planner like the Created , Released, Approved, Finished, Locked and Rejected. My requirement is to limit the access to the Users for these Statuses. For Example :
User 1 will have access to Created.
User 2 will have access to Aproved.
User 3 will have access to Aproved,Released, Create
How do I set the Authorizations for the System status based on the User? I tried creating Authorization Keys under Status Profiles, but I am not clear on where to assign them.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi ,
Thanks for your input. I am planning to go with your second option to go with assigning the Authorization objects at the Marketing Plan and also at the Campaign level . My only concern here is will we be able to assign status specific authorizations here ?
The Authorization objects given are for change, create etc. There are no status specific authorization objects mentioned. My requirement is the person who creates the MP should have access to release it and only the approver should be able to see the approved status and change the status o approved.
Do you suggest using Authorization keys and assigning them ?If so where do we define the restictions on the Authorization keys like
Authorization Group 1 has authorization to Create , modify a MP and can only View / Change the statuses to Create and Release.
Authorization Group 2 has access to Modify and has access to change the statuses to Aproved.
Is there any way this can be achieved ? Please let me know if I am going in the right direction.

Pooja

Test Note (Documentation Type) when creating Test Plan

Hi Gurus.
After we upgraded our SolMan 7.0 system from Support Pack (ST component ) level 19 to level 25, I noticed this new field "Test Note" (Dcoumentation Type) when creating a Test Plan in transaction STWB_2.
Initially, when I haven't chosen any project yet, this field has a list-of-values (i.e. Test Case Note, iTutor Document) but when I choose a project, the list-of-values only showing "ST". I also tried choosing another project and there is no value in the list.
Does anyone know where this list is coming from or how I can configure this?
It looks like project-related and but I couldn't find any settings for this.
Can this field be turned off so it will not show in the screen?
Thanks,
Tess

Hi Tess,
The documentation type ST is the standard documentation type for test notes.
Test notes are needed by testers to document results in detail during/after testing a test case.
In SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN there is the text menu 'GOTO - Project Template - Implementation Projects'
and then there to the tap 'Documentation Types' to do the default settings for 'ST' for all implementation projects.
Otherwise you'll have to change settings in the administration for each project!
There you can assign your own documentation template for ST in the central settings.
If you are using other project types for testing you'll have to do the same for each project type.

Adelbert

Re: marketing plan and campaign element

Hi Dipesh
Iam facing somewhat similar issue.
My requirement is that everytime i want to create a new number for the campaign element. We are using the BAdi CRM_MKTPL to generate the Marketing/Campaign Plan number. And using the Coding Mask to generate the campaign elements. But when we delete some campaign elements and create new ones, the system used the same Ids that are previously deleted. I want only new number to be generated, i do not want to use the deleted Ids.
How to solve this issue? Please suggest me some solution.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Rajesh,
This is happening b'cos the Marketing Projects (Plans, campaigns and elements) which u r trying to upload are with same name (External ID) which u have deleted, try either (Rename)change the name of u r marketing Projects while uploding in system.
System error : The external ID is already used in the description of another marketing project. To avoid data inconsistencies in SAP BW, the external ID cannot be reused.

Error Message when creating a planning view in EXCEL

Hi everyone,
after activating the planning Area I succesfully uploaded a sample of time series, master data and key figure. I get the following error when I try to create a new planning view with my set of data in EXCEL.
I am still waiting from the answer of our administrator. But since it takes some times it would be great if someone could help me to understand the meaning of my error ID.
More generaly is there a databank/interface where i could type in this error ID on my own and get an explanation?
Thanks in Advance
Kenneth

Hi Raghav,
Do you know as from what release this "application debugging" permission is available? We are using the S&OP 3.0 SP1 Patch 1 and this feature is not available. (see Picture). Also I could not access any of the links should the expression <server> in the urls be replaced by the adress of our server?
Thanks in advance

Marketing Org Determination in Campaigns/Marketing Plans

Hi Friends,
Can anyone please tell me how do we do automatic determination of Marketing Org Unit for Marketing Plans/Campaigns?
Thanks alot in advance !!
Kind Regards,
Neeraj Sharma

Hi,
Marketing Org Unit determination on Marketing Plans/Campaigns depends upon user assignment in organisation stucture,
you have to look at following things for automatic determination of Marketing Org Unit.
1) In Organisation structure select your marketing Org and in Function tab select Marketing and tick in check box Marketing Organization
2) Create Position under your marketing org as Marketing Manager and assign User which your using to create marketing plans/campaign.
As in case of marketing system check the user org unit and it determine marketing org on the basis of user assigment.

Dipesh.

Marketing Plans & Campaigns

I am a BW developer and have a project to work with CRM to build the Marketing Plans & Campaigns. I have some experience with BPS, so I think I can work with this piece of it also. However, the first problem I am having is when I go thru the following in CRM:
SPRO->Marketing Planning and Campaign Management->Key Figure Planning
The problem I have from this point is when trying to go into Planning Workbench or Define Key Figures.
When I try Planning Workbench, I get an error "Access via NULL object reference not possible."
When I try Define Key Figures, I get "You are not authorized to use Transaction UMK_MB"
When I do an SU53 for both of these, it shows all authorization checks were successful. So I am thinking there may be a problem with the BW to CRM connection. However, we have another CRM project that I am not having any problem with.
My next question is how does BPS play into the Marketing Campaigns? I thought all the planning happens in CRM, so why can't I just pull the results into the BW InfoCube, instead of going thru BPS.
Any info about anything to do with this, would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Keith,
Please check the below link which will explain how BPS is integrated with CRM Marketing planning & Campaign Management.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/8e/6480ac5efb49f795efe5a50a1d3e07/frameset.htm
Also please check if you have made the below customizing in CRM for BI :
BI Update flag: Marketing --> Marketing Planning and Campaign Management --> System Landscape --> Activate BI Update.
RFC Connection to BI: RFC connection to the BI system in Customizing by choosing Marketing
-> Marketing Planning and Campaign Management --> System Landscape --> Define RFC Connection
Also please make sure that user assigned to the system is a dialog user and the user has the required planning authorizations.
For BPS planning Authorization please see the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/c8/ad8438619a7c51e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
Hope these help !
