BW Impact: CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0 Upgrade

Experts,
We are implementing CRM 7.0 with reference to CRM 5.0. CRM 7.0 is a new implementation not technical upgrade from CRM 5.0 but CRM 5 is takes as basis for this impl. In this new impl, most of the enhanced fields in transactions are migrated to standard fields. Web UI utilization enabled.
I would like to understand how this will impact BW data flow. As per my BW understanding, we have to use the same datasources used in CRM 5.0, enhance them as in old system and extract data to existing infocubes so that customer can use their existing reports. In case of z-fields that were replaced with standard, we have to use standard fields and change mapping in transformations.
As per some threads, understood that CRM 7.0 is diffrent in functionality in CRM 5.0. It is difficult to configure data flow same as CRM 5.0. There is considerable change in source tables and datasources. Based on this assumption, our BW expert suggested to implement new dataflow for CRM 7.0 i.e new infocube's and new reports.
Please share your experience if you upgrade BW dataflow from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0. Suggest the best approach to follow. Is there any documentation on this any where on sap portals.
Best Regards,
Raj.

Hi,
Upto my knowledge,there will be NO impact on the current data loads.
After upgrading CRM 5.0 -CRM7.0
Data source of CRM system may get new fields and functionalities get added ,
These changes and updates will be updated in BI system only when the data sources are replicated.
If the data source is new version,it needs to be activated in RSA5 and to repicate, then only the changes will reflectes in BI.

Problem with Billing Engine after upgrade from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0

Hello together,
The system of our customer has been upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0. After that some problems occurred regarded the billing.
In the Billing Due List a dump occurs when clicking on an item and then on conditions
Dump message: No function module can be found named "/1BEA/CRMB_DL_PAR_O_DERIVE" however.
(Other classes are new generated after the upgrade)
During the Analysis we looked to the billing engine navigator:
In the Billing Engine Navigator (Transaction: BEFN_F1) the Generation Log shows the following:
We have re-generated the Object PAR in CRMB->DL->Feature->PAR. But this shows the above displayed error message. How can we add value to the Placeholder?
Another question is which impacts does it have if we regenerate the complete billing engine for CRMB with transaction BEA_CONFIG_F1 (Configure Application)?
BR, Anne

Hi Nawanit,
we checked the key figure settings and categories. Everything is maintained correctly.
Since we work with MRP areas we also checked the "Global Parameters and Default Values for MRP Areas" in APO Customizing: The "Default values for Stock Transfer Documents" is set to "1" = Stock Transport Requisitions for MRP Areas.
BUT: When I try ot change this indicator I get the following message no. /SAPAPO/MRPA000:
"Process. w. stock transp. requisitions is not supported in standard sys. The process with stock transport requisitions will be supported as of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core Release 4.70 with SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set 2.0. ".
As far as we work with ECC 6.0, EHP4 this message makes no sense.
Does anyone have another idea?
Thanks
Jan

I checked the release notes but doesn't pin point the actual comparison. the release notes just shows the features.....
appreciate, if anyone can share presentations or pdfs.
thanks. krishnan

Hi Krishnan,
To know the difference between CRM 4.0 and 5.0 you should check the release notes on CRM5.0 available on https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000429833&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&
There are several functional improvements, new functionalities and better integration points with SAP R/3 - SAP ECC ,
easier usage of IC Webclient, new things within Marketing and campaign management.
Also CRM 5.0 has added many new features like:
- Visit planning
- Warrenty Claims
- Enhanced and easy configurable/ customizable IC Webclient
- Concept of Marketing Organisation
Between CRM 5.0 and CRM 5.1 main change is in architecture. CRM 5.1 is UI based, you have view,component concepts.
(see SAP Service Marketplace quick link crm-inst → mySAP CRM → SAP CRM 2006s → SAP CRM 5.1 Cross Component → Master Guide SAP CRM 2006s).
Currently CRM 5.2 has also been released.CRM 5.0 have a Mainstream-Maintainence till 31.03.2011.

Data Migration from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0

Hi Friends,
We are into a re-implementation on CRM 7.0. The old system was on CRM 5.0.
Since this is not an upgrade, the data will not copied over from the old system into the new system.
So, now I would like to know how to migrate data (master/transaction) from CRM 5.0 into 7.0.
I have read that we can make use of BAPI/LSMW/IDOC/XIF adapters to push info into CRM.
But, the customer wants all the historical data to be in the new system.
I think master data can be handled.... but how to migrate the transaction data?.... i mean the number ranges/document flow.. and other relationships.. how can we maintain the same links into the new system?
If it was a migration from legacy system into the SAP CRM, we could have gone ahead with new number ranges etc... but this migration is from SAP to SAP.
Also, we will have ECC6.0 connected to CRM 7.0. ANy additional things to be taken care of when the connection is live in DEV/QA/PROd instances?
Any pointers to this ?

Hi Gary,
As per my understanding, your data migration involves quite complex scenarios covering the CRM and ERP box. As the customer needs the old data to be present in the new implementation, the old data needs to be migrated from the CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0. For the migration to happen, you need to setup the customization (like the number ranges,Condition Data Tables, etc ). Then only you can proceed with the data migration. Also, you need a proper backup plan as this involves proper backup of the data.
Once the setup is complete, you need to configure the ECC6.0 with the CRM7.0 system. Here also, you need to do a lot of settings and performing the Initial loading of the Adapter Objects. But before you proceed with the entire operation, the entire system landscape must be properly defined with appropriate settings.
My recomendation is to take help of SAP Consultants and data migration experts as they are the best persons to guide you on this. Also it would be great if you can go through the SAP Best Practices documents which are best repository documents to guide you on this.
Have a look on this link for an overview of the CRM Data Migration
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/1a/023d63b8387c4a8dfea6592f3a23a7/frameset.htm
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Upgrade CRM 3.0 to CRM 5.0 -Is solution manager by SAP required?

Hello CRM gurus,
We are currently running on CRM version 3.0 and planning an upgrade to CRM 5.0.
Is solution manager absolutely required for this upgrade. I know that SAP heighly recommends it but is it absoutely required.
Also, could you please give me few inputs if you did the upgrade with/without the solution manager?
Thanks for your inputs,
Prasoon

Hi Prasoon,
in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700005413872005E">CRM 5.0 Upgrade Master Guide</a> I found this:
"Use of SAP Solution Manager is mandatory for mySAP CRM 2005. When you install SAP CRM 5.0 ABAP server or upgrade to this release, you are asked to enter a key generated by the Solution Manager. For more information, see the installation or upgrade guide for SAP CRM 5.0."

Upgrade from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007

Hi,
We are planning to update from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. We are using CRM for Leads, Opportunities and Account & Contact Management with PCUI as front end. We do have some customized iViews for Sales People and Customers. Can any one, please provide me the step-by-step process to do technical and functional upgrade or point me towards the documentation on the same
You will rewarded with the points. Thanks in advance. Please, Its URGENT...
Cheers,
Amit

Amit,
Based on your reply your work looks like the following:
1. Basis teams performs tech upgrade of your dev system
2. Security team grants temporary expanded access in dev system to access new UI and new UI tools
3. Dev/Config team takes standard delivered new UI screens and adjusts screen layouts
4. Dev/Config team adjusts any BADI's built in the previous release
The data model of CRM has not changed. If you stuck with the EEWB and used all the standard methods of enhancing the data model, you don't need to worry about data migration. However if you did not play by the SAP standards you could have more work.
As far as tracking your project you can use solution manager or build simple project tracking in MS project.
If you did no coding period, and only configuration. You should be able to complete all the configuration work in less than two weeks to get the screens as needed. However that is based on having at least one to two weeks of learning the new UI tool.
I would guess a config-only CRM implementation would only need two-three to finish all reconcilation work not including testing and training.
Take care,
Stephen

CRM 6.0 vs CRM 5.0 technical and Features & functionality difference.

Hi,
For Internet Sales i.e. B2B and B2C, Evaluating CRM 5.0 and 6.0 but dont know for which version we should select, Had search market place but here it seems to be it does not have much of difference between 5.0 and 6.0..
Please help to provide me solid proff for my company to know why we should select CRM 6.0 then CRM 5.0 along with Major difference between these two from End User point of view.
Thanks so much in advance.
Regards,
Brijesh

Brijesh,
For some reason your last post did not show up on this thread.. However I did get the e-mail.
I'm not really sure about IE 7 support, but I would say you can always go to the PAM
http://service.sap.com/pam to determine the browser level support.
In your case if you have a proven template on CRM 5.0 then you probably don't have as much of a case for CRM 6.0 except perhaps browser support and even then that would be questionable.
For more details you might want to buy the CRM 2007 OKP product that woudl give you a detailed deltas on the differences or look at the release notes form CRM 2007. The release notes are about 500 pages, but it will tell you what has been changed/added since the last release.
You can also look at the presentations at:
http://service.sap.com/crm
Choose CRM 2007 -> Web Channel.
That should be a good start and cause you to have many more questions.
Take care,
Stephen

BP , Activitites - Migration from CRM 4.0 to CRM 2007

Hi Experts,
We are planning to mirgrate the following Data from CRM 4.0 to CRM 6.0
1) Business Partner with relationship and Attachment
2) Activities
What could be the best approach to migrate?
How can we record the BP data with relation from the legacy system ?
The detailed answers will be appreciated ...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,

1) Extract all the partner data using either z-programs or XIF outbound adapter. As you are loading them in you will need to maintain/map the "legacy partner number".
2) Extract all the activities using a z-program/XIF outbound adapter. Convert in the new activities using the mapping from step #1.
In either case you will have quite of bit of work to do. This should keep you busy for a couple months.
Take care,
Stephen
