BAPI to create Target groups

Hi Gurus,
The scenario is I will get a list of Business Partners as a file.The program should create a Target group and attach the list of partners to the created Target group.Is there a BAPI to create Target group?.Kindly let me know
Points assured for helpful answers.

Hi RAghu,
please check if the following BAPI's fullfill your requirements:
BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE
BAPI_TARGETGROUP_ADD_BP
if you want to fill a target group with BPs the target group has to
exists before.
Moreover, it is unlikely, that BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE is useful
in your process (because it generates a TG for an existing
profile group!
Kind Regards´

Creating Target Group from External File

Hello Experts
We need to create target group from external file. (That is to say we will have let's say txt file containing BP that belongs to specific target group and we need to assign these BPs to to specific target group in SAP CRM)
I have searched for it on sdn and found something benefical. I have found BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, I have checked it but I don't understand how should we use it becuase as far as we understand it just creates target group, we cannot see anything related with Business Partner. How can we relate BPs with the target group we create by this BAPI.
What should we do, is anyone have previous experience about it? or is there a way to do it without using BAPI.
thanks it advance

Hi,
You can do this from within the standard Web UI. It's straight out of the box.
Create a profile set and in there create a target group in the target group assignment block just by entering the description of the target group. Then enter edit mode of this target group and click the button "Import Members". Remeber to mark "Change selected target group" unless you want to create a new target group.

BAPI to build target group for segments

Hi all,
I looking for a BAPI that builds target group for segments and not for profile sets.
Transaction CRMD_MKTSEG allows to create TG in two ways :
- Build for Profile SET
- Build for Selected segment
BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE is like u201CBuild for Profile SETu201D, since it requires a profile set guid as input
I have not found anything to u201CBuild for Selected segmentu201D, putting as input only a Profile.
The reason is that I need to "refresh" every day the target group and it is possible only if I create a TG for segment and not for profile set. In this second case the TG is frozen and no more refreshable,
Thanks.
regards
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,
There are three types of Segments:- Profile Sets, Target Groups, Profiles.
(You can check this yourself:- Go inside Find segments, then choose Advanced Search. You will get option to find Marketing Segments based on whether they are Profile sets or Target Groups or Profiles )
It means Profile Sets is also a type of Segment. So i am bit confused with your question.
If i understand your question correctly, you simply want to create a target group which should be refreshed automatically on a daily basis.
You can very well achieve this daily refresh by building the Target Group in Background Mode. While creating a Target Group there are two modes possible :- 1)Build Target Group in Dialog Mode 2)In Background Mode.
So u need to build your Target group in background mode and While creating the Target Group in Background mode:-
Select the Checkbox "Active"
Do not select the checkbox "Modelling Completed".
Hope this helps in resolving your issues.

Creating Target group

HI all,
I am trying to create the target group in Segment builder, for which I have done the following settings
1)I have maintained Attributes and attribute set,
2)i have assigned attribute set to Business partner.
3)I also have created Data source here i have maintained
Origin type as attribute set
maintained name of attribute set
function module used Cross-selling: function module CRM_MKTPR_PP_CS_TG_READ,and description.
4)Created attribute list as follows
Description_______
Category:Product proposal
Segment type:Product Proposal and saved.
Then assigned data source and highleted what ever attributes required to display in Segment builder.
The issue here is:
When i go to Segment builder(crmd_mktseg):
in Segment builder when i tried to create profile set for product proposal the system is asking for Profile set description and Master group.
and i am unable to drag and drop profile set onto staging area and create target group.
can u/any one advice me in this regard/
Thanks in advance.
mdv.

Hi mdv,
For the purpose of creating your target group, the name of the profile set is of no importance. CRM just requires that you do create the target group within a profile set. That being said, when you create a profile set and system asks you for profile set description and master group, just put any words in the description field that is meaningful to you, and don't select anything in the master group.
Once this is done, you will need to drag and drop your 'filter' that you created for your attribute list into the staging area. Then, one very important step (which I missed in the beginning and it took me 8 hours to figure out) is that you need to click on the 'Count' button. Once you see a number on the target group, it means the filter is working. From there you can create your target group and open it for list export.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rajiv
I have the same issue with my BI Query. Hope you have resolved by now, if you have please do let me know.
What we have done is, created a BI Query and used this query in in CRM datasource, then created some filters where i can see the objects in the query while creating filters in Attributes List. But when we use these filters to create Target group, its not resulting any results in the query, i mean not brining any values on segmentation area. This issue is only in Production as we have already tested in Test and passed without any problems. But in Production we have this issue, i m not sure why this is happening, i spoke to BW team regarding this and they are not sure eitherl. If you know could you please let me know
Thank you in advance

Create target group for contacts does not work

Hi Experts,
I am working on a Markting solution for a University with CRM 5.0.
We need to contact certain Teachers in Schools (they have an orientation function for pupils that might study in the University in the future).
I can segment for schools in Segmentbuilder. Now, I need to generate "new target group from contact". In my case the contact person of the school is the Teacher (function type is contact person). This does not work.
Am I missing some parametrization, or is there a relation to sales area (wich we do not have).
Hoping for your help. I will regard points generously.
cristina

Hi Cristina,
I understand Schools are crated as Org and Teacher as Persons. There exist a Relationship between these similar to Contact Person (BUR001).
Now, Follow the process
1) Create a Data Source in CRMD_MKTDS.
2) Assign an Infoset Query, as per your scenario.
3) Assign Function Module "CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP" to data source
4) Save, and then create an Attribute List.
Go to Segment Builder and create target group based on above Attribute List.
You'll get a list of all the contact persons. For your case, Teachers.
Hope this helps......
Regards,
Vikas
PS: This will only work if Schools - Org, Teacher = Person and Relationship = BUR001. If you have other criterias please copy Function Module "CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP" and edit it as per your business case. Then assign this FM in Data Source.

Using custom fields to create Target Groups?

Hi Experts,
I might be missing something but I couldn't find anything in the different help guides, so if anyone saw that please help!
Do you know if it is possible to edit the available fields to search/filter Contacts, Accounts etc. when trying to add them to a Target Group?
We are currently not really using any Marketing-related features but this will be a focus for us in a few months so we are having a closer look at this area. There might be some other settings in the Admin/Project Scope etc. that I am missing and need to check and activate.
We have some custom fields integrated with our on premise SAP CRM system which are heavily used by our marketing departments for extracting Contact lists, this is why we would like to see how we could reproduce this in C4C.
Thanks a lot in advance,
JB.

Hi JB,
You can go to => Marketing => Target Groups => Your Group => Members => Personalize => Start Personalization => Add => Add Contacts => here you can select the field you want to change/hide, you can also drag and drop a field to change its order on the screen => Personalize => End Personalization.
Please find attached file with only a few changes that I did on that screen.

How to create a target group with all prospects?

Hi guys,
I am wondering how do I have to set up my data source when I would like to build a target group in my segment builder which includes all persons/contacts/organizations with the bp role prospect?
Which infoset do I need to choose in my data source? What do I need to fill under details?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Janine

Hi Janine,
What I could understand is that you require to create target group of all BPs having BP role as prospects.
To do so, you can create an infoset joning tables BUT000 and BUT100. The table BUT100 , has a field "BP Role"->select it, so that it is available when you are creating the attribute list using this infoset.
Create a data soucre for this infoset. Then when creating a attribute list, include this datasource and under this select the attribute "BP Role". Add filter to this attribute for prospects.
This filter can be used in segmentation builder in UI to create TG containing BPs having BP role as prospect.
Hopes this helps you.
Thanks,
Apoorv

hi,
Target group is a group of BP, like a BP list. It's a kind of master data which can be used in business transaction.
And profile set is a base of target group, just like Product Hierachy and Product category. Each target group should belong to a profile set. So create the profile set, before you create target group.
Campaign is a kind of Marketing element of CRM Marketing. In campaign, it need the BP or BP group or Target Group as its campaign objectives. Just like Customer of Sales Order, Vendor of Purchase order.
Campaign can be assigned several target groups or BP or BP groups in it.
So if you want to create campaign and assign target group to it, the steps is:
1. create a profile set by BAPI_PROFILESET_CREATE
2. create target group by BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, in this calling, you will use the profile set created before.
3. create campaign by MKT_ELEMENT_CREATE
4. assign the target group to your campaign, by MKTPL_TGGR_ASSIGN_CREATEl, the target group comes from step 2, the campaign comes from step 3
