International Address Versions in SAP CRM 2007 WebUI

Hi gurus,
I have activated International Addres Versions in SPRO.
In the SAP GUI, now there's a button 'intern. versions' available in transaction BP. When users create a new business partner, they can enter an address version in the international character set ( i.e. Cyrillic, Chinese, ... )
I was wondering how I can do the same functionality in the CRM WebUI ? Is it possible to something similar ? I didn't manage to insert or display these international address versions ...
Thank you,
Abjuh

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have entered into my user id through su01.
There I could find only one role: SAP_CRM_UIU_FRAMEWORK.
I have removed that role and came out of the SAP CRM system and login to SAP CRM and webui, still by default interaction center page is displaying.
I have checked my role in Org model and no where it is assigned.
Though there is no roles and no assignment in org model, I have a doubt why it is showing the Interaction center screen.
Please let me know, If you have any more suggestions.
Regards
Madhu

Newbie SAP CRM

Hi guys,
I'm new to SAP and CRM. I have Java, J2EE experience but want to move into SAP CRM. I have basic knowledge about what a CRM is and its functionality.
Could you guys let me know the better way to start CRM technical learning. I want to go for training but I want to prepare first before I join some course. So, I would appreciate if anyone gives me idea of what CRM technical means and any documents and programs on CRM technical.
Thanks,
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal,
To start career in SAP java, you need to understand the SAP architecture, for e.g. how the process flows through the 3 layers(Interaction and Presentation Layer, Business Object Layer and Business Logic Service Layer). Since you have java background it is not difficult to enter in this line. Now SAP uses java components in Portal, ISA (Internet Sales, service) etc extensively.
With the introduction of CRM 5.0 ISA, NWDI (Netweaver Development Infrastructure) is essential to deploy and track changes to java objects.
If you have access to SAP market place then you can download the SAP E-Commerce Development guide, which will help you 100% to understand all the required technicalities.
If you do not have the access then I should be able to send you the document. Pass on your email id

SAP-CRM Against Siebel

Hi all,
Is it advisable to move into SAP-CRM with strong presence of preoducts likeSIEBEL?
Edited by: Sanjiv N on Oct 3, 2008 9:19 AM

Hi Sanjiv,
The choice of a suitable vendor for implementing a CRM package in your company would primarily depend on the extent of functionality that you would want to deploy. Additionally the cost of implementation would also play a vital role.
Siebel CRM has a modular implementation approach. Depending upon your business needs you can implement any of the three functionalities of sales, service and marketing.
mySAP CRM has all the three functionalities embedded in one, you can customize the feature as per your requirement.
Siebel CRM is well acknowledged for its user friendly GUI.
In response to the GUI parameter, mySAP CRM has come up with portal view. The portal provides the user with the easy to use and navigate screens.
mySAP CRM has an upper hand when it comes to coupling of transactional data with operational CRM. If you have a SAP R/3 in place and you want a big name for your CRM system then, mySAP CRM is the best choice.
Being a product of the same family, mySAP CRM gels well with all the other modules of SAP R/3.
Most of the Enterprise in the world run SAP. To maintain the Customer interaction between the Enterprise and Customer, SAP has a new product in market.
SAP CRM offers easier integration when we have SAP already running in the place.
So i would recommend you go for SAP CRM 2007, which got very good feedback by the customers.
Hope this answer your question!!!
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan Kumar Gali.

Secure hash function with salt to create a not spoofable PRC (SAP CRM)

Hello SAP Security Community,
SAP CRM Marketing provides a functionality called Personalized Response Code (PRC, 10 characters). This code can be used in mail, fax, sms or letters to customers. When the customer returns the PRC to the communication initiator, it can be mapped to a campaign and the business partner number of the customer. See also the [SAP Standard Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/EN/2a/c13463f09c4a1f9c45903e7a0a7230/frameset.htm].
By default this standard implementation of the BAdI CRM_MKT_PRC_CONVERT is called:
METHOD if_ex_crm_mkt_prc_convert~convert_prc.
DATA lv_no      TYPE crmt_mkt_icrh_prc_num.
DATA lv_string TYPE string.
DATA lv_pos     TYPE int4.
DATA lv_base31 TYPE string VALUE '0123456789BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ'.
**** converting the numeric-base10 into base31
lv_no = iv_prc.
CLEAR lv_string.
DO.
    lv_pos = lv_no MOD 31.
    lv_no = lv_no DIV 31.
    CONCATENATE lv_base31+lv_pos(1) lv_string INTO lv_string.
    IF lv_no = 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
MOVE lv_string TO ev_prc.
ENDMETHOD.
As you can see it does a simple base31 encoding of the provided input parameter iv_prc which is a number provided by the number range for PRC's.
I want to use the PRC to make our customers registration process for a trade fair easier. We send out the PRC via a letter to the customers where we don't have an E-Mail address. The letter contains instructions which point the user to a Website that has an input field for the PRC. When the user submits the PRC I'd like to show him/her some personal information (Name, Address, E-Mail) that we lookup using the PRC in the CRM System. This information is then posted to a 3rd party website that has to be used to do the trade fair registration.
If I would use the simple base31 encoding, then the current counter state could be easily decoded, the next number can be chosen and by applying base31 encoding again, the next valid PRC is created. This could then be misused to read personal information of another customer. I think what could solve this problem would be to use a secure hash function that allows also to be salted to create the PRC.
Do you think I'm on the right track? Or would it be OK to use the classes described in [Note 1410294 - Support SHA2-family for Message Digest and HMAC|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1410294] and before doing the hashing add a random number to the PRC number that I've got from the number range? What problems do I run in as the PRC could not be longer than 12 characters? For sure I have to check that I don't create any PRC twice.
Best regards
Gregor

Knowledge of PCR should not reveal any personal information to you.
OK, but in this case the PCR is mapped to the campaign number and the BP-number. It would reveal the information. Hence a second hash which only allows further processing if it matches. The second hash is a "signature" of the PCR.
I don't agree with this. The security should NOT be based on hiding how system works. Only key should be secret. In this case it should all depend on quality of PRNG. Check Kerckhoffs's principle. Whenever I see proprietary algorithm in crypto I start to feel nervous about the system.
Ok, you convinced me. That is also true, but you will have to save the key or the hash it produces to be able to verify it again when the user returns to the website - and in this case it is in clear text ABAP (unless Mr. Wolf wants to create an external program, like SAP does with C-calls).
From the perspective of the user it is a password and they must be able to transfer it from a snail-mail readable text on paper into a website field.
As Mr. Wolf has noticed, the next PCRs can be obtained by anyone who can decode standard code (knowing that the BADI is activated).
I think a correctly placed split and concatenation does the trick for a 20 character field without knowing which part is the PCR and which is the signature (a human can still enter that into a website field).
I think the big question (appart from the principle - which I agree with you on) is whether the admins and their family members are allowed to bid? Also do the bidders have acces to this system as technical consultants?? (for example to single test methods and function modules in the production system??).
Also how does the process continue and finally get concluded? Typically there is some "horse trading" in the end anyway...
All these factors should influence the strength and complexity of the design, and maintenance of it IMO.
But generally you are correct and I rest my case.
@ Mr. Wolf: Are you enjoying the debate too much or are you going to give us more insight?
Cheers,
Jules

Inbound email configuration is not working in SAP CRM 7.0

We have issue with the Inbound mail in SAP CRM 7.0, the emails from external ID (eg *@gmail.com) unable to receive in SAP Mailbox.
SMTP Settings as per the note : 455140 have been done and its working fine, we are able to send email from SAP to external server.
Also as per the note 607108 telnet test was successful and we can see the email in SOIN,
However if we send a mail from Gmail to SAP it is not visible in SOIN and it is bouncing back with error
said: 553 5.1.8 <[email protected]>... Domain of sender address
[email protected] does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
I have attached screenshot of the SOIN.

Hi Garcia,
I have checked with the Network team who manages Exchange server and they have mentioned that it is bouncing back from our CRM host with the error as below,

Cannot Delete BP Relationships in SAP CRM 7.0 - intermittent error

Hi Everyone,
We are running SAP CRM 7.0, SP08. We are trying to delete just the relationship "Contact Person" between an Account and a Contact in CRM. Sometimes when we do it everything works just fine and the relationship is removed in CRM and the Contact Person is deleted in ECC. Other times we are getting the following error: "Address is still being used and may not be deleted." If we expand the error, we are getting the following:
Diagnosis
You tried to delete a BP address. This BP is still being used somewhere in the system, meaning that you are not permitted to delete this address.
System Response
Error message. The BP address is not deleted.
Procedure
Look at the where-used list for the BP address. If you still want to delete the address, change the reference to this address in the applications affected. In most cases, if applications other than maintenance of business partner itself are affected, you can navigate directly to the corresponding application from the where-used list (by calling the context menu with the right mouse button). You can then try again to delete the BP address.
Note
If a business partner is merely moving, you only need to change the actual address details. All references are automatically transferred to the new address.
We have tried several scenarios and have not found a consistent result. For example, we can create Activities in CRM, Quotes and Orders in ECC, using the Contact, and then when we remove the relationship it all works as we expected and removes the relationship in CRM and deletes them in ECC. However, for another Contact this does not work. It does not seem to matter if the person is the "main contact" in ECC or not, whether we have flagged them as the Main Contact in CRM or not, whether they have lots of transactions or none. The only thing that does seem to be consistant is where they were created and the relationship defined. It seems if they were created in ECC it does not work, but if they were created in CRM it does work.
I looked at SAP note 830239, but it does not apply to CRM 7.0.
Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Hi,
We used the questionnaires (questionnaires was displayed and worked) but we faced issues with the display in web UI (only when the questionnaires are linked to an activity/opportunity). The Admin screen for questionnaire works well).
We have implemented the following notes in order to correct this displaying issues :
- 1858059 : Upload the CRM_SVY_GENERATE_BSP_TEMPLATE.ZIP, refresh cash and generate all surveys
And then notes mentioned above
- 1914885 & 1944288 in the relevant order.
But we cannot display anymore the existing surveys (They are active, all scenarios are flagged).
Error message : Cannot get questionnaire HTML string
Any Ideas how to proceed to solve ? (we work on EHP2)

Moving OTC processes from SAP R/3 into SAP CRM 5.0

Hi all,
A SAP CRM client that I am currently working on have decided to extend the project scope and now want to move all their existing OTC processes from R/3 to CRM 5.0. Their system is heavily bespoked with a high level of user exits, as during the initial implementation they preferred to use more ABAP than config although some of the functionality was available as standard. If they havent figured it out yet, Im sure theyll be asking themselves soon whose clever idea that was. They have over 1m customer records with a low transaction volume per customer per year, configurable products, complex pricing and use Biller Direct, just to mention a few.
Has anyone got any experience in doing this previously? Any issues, challenges or lessions learnt apart from the obvious ones?
Thanks!

Hello,
You can go ahead for IMPORT with DB 9.7.
We completed an OS/DB Migration Project (which involves system copy using EXPORT/IMPORT) and we utilized direct newer version of DB2 on the target during IMPORT.
But please confirm whether the kernel of your release would work fine with DB 9.7 or not. Otherwise, there is no problem in going for higher version of DB2 here.
Small question - Why you want to test the Mock Upgrade on DB2 version which is different than the current version on production server ? Or are you planning to upgrade your current DB2 8 to DB2 9.7 BEFORE the SAP Upgrade on all the servers - then the testing is OK I think (however OS is still the different - Or may be you will go for system copies for this too !)
Thanks

MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

21/11
Gurus,
I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
Thanks for your help and insights about this.
Brice.

Hi Chris,
    Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
   For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
   then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
   However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
   no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
   when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
   I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
   SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
   My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
   core source code is as:
   clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      input_length = lv_length
      mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
      text_buffer = lv_datas_string
      output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?
Best Regards,
Derek

SAP CRM with multiple MS Exchange Servers

Hi all,
I would like to use a SAP CRM 7.0 system with multiple MS Exchange servers. It is possible to forward emails from these Exchange servers to the SAP WAS via SMTP, so that SAP ERMS functionalities can be used to process the emails?
Thank you,
Till

The answer is yes. You need to just setup the exchange servers to route the e-mail to the inbound SMTP port setup on the CRM WAS server. You will then configure the inbound e-mail address on the WAS to map to the ERMS service.
CRM does not care how the message got sent to it, it just needs to be dropped off at that location.
Take care,
Stephen

Urgent! How foreign languages are treated in SAP CRM

How are foreign languages' characters treated in SAP CRM?. If a person's name or address is entered in say Japanese or Greek characters, how would it reflect in reporting. Would it have anything to do with the communication language selected for the contact?
Urgent

If the Data is entered in a foreign Language it will show same in the reports too. SAP has translation service too but that wouldn't be affective and suitable to conversion. So if it is entered in Japanese you will see in Japanese only. But one thing is to make sure your language packs are loaded in to your landscape.
Thanks
