Configurable Products and Campaign Management

Hi All,
In our project we are going for configurable products. We plan to give campaign based discounts on these products in CRM.
Please let me know how to handle configurable products in Campaign Management.
Many thanks for your response:
Keshav

Hi Keshav,
I am currently working on setting up discounts related to a campaign. Would you have any information on how to do this? I know I need to select condition types from the discount tab. I guess I will have to create the conditon types in IMG. There are some condition types already exisitng that are being used by the pricing procedure for sales orders. Can i use the same condition types??
Any input would be highly welcome.
Thanks,
Deepak

Query regarding the Node manager configuration(WLS and OAM Managed server)

Query regarding the Node manager configuration(WLS and OAM Managed server):
1) In the nodemanager.properties I have added the ListenAddress:myMachineName and ListenPort: 5556
My setup : One physical Linux machine(myMachineName) has : WLS admin server, managed server(OAM 11G) and nodemanager.No clustered environment.
2) nodemanager.log has the following exception when I start the oam_server1 using EM(Enterprise Manager11g):
Mar 23 2012 1:39:55 AM> <SEVERE> <Fatal error in node manager server>
java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Default port on which node manager listen for requests is localhost:5556.I have changed it to point to my machine. The port should be of WLS admin server or it should be the managed server port?
3) I have started the NodeManager using the startNodeManager.sh script.
4) The admin server port is 7001 and the oam managed server port is 14100.
Any inputs on what might be wrong in the setup will be helpful.Thanks !

By using netstat -anp|grep 5556 you can check which process on your machine is using the 5556 port.

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
Cheers

IPC Configurable products and Search by characteristic

Hi all,
I have set up Configurable products for opportunities and quotations.
Now I have one question, if I want to search opportunities by product, it is possible in the standard search of opportunities/quotations. But if I want to search by a characteristic value of that product, how do I proceed? Is there a solution?
Thanks!

You have to read up on "Navigation Attributes." Marking the attributes of a chracterstic "navigable" in the InfoProvider makes that attribute searchable.

Configurable product in CRM 7.0

Hi all,
has anybody experience with configurable products and product model in CRM 7.0? or is there a detailed manual somewhere?
the way to manage them seems quite different from the previous release in which the PME component was external.
Thanks
Oreste

Hi,
ECC -> CRM Download of Configurable Products
First of all create the KB and Runtime version for ur configurable products(Variant configuration products ) in ECC. Then activate the IPC, download the KR and Runtime Version (SCE).
Create your own Application Customer confiruation in XCM component and the link look http://<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do.
Then go to the table COMM_IPC_PROP and maintaint the table entry with the Application Customer Configuration in XCM for Product and also for sales order if you are using the Sales order for the configurable products...
and also u need to maintain the IPC server setting in the table COMM_IPC_URL
Using the below report RSVMCRT_HEALTH_CHECK you can check whether the IPC and java stack is active. One more thing to keep in mind is if you ever do changes to XCM component then you need to restart the Java Server everytime.
CRM (Standalone)
From CRM 2007 onward the PME has been replaced with WEBUI. in the WEBUI you create the Configurable products and then create the product model.
Create your own Application Customer confiruation in XCM component and the link look http://<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do.
Then go to the table COMM_IPC_PROP and maintaint the table entry with the Application Customer Configuration in XCM for Product and also for sales order if you are using the Sales order for the configurable products...
and also u need to maintain the IPC server setting in the table COMM_IPC_URL
Using the below report RSVMCRT_HEALTH_CHECK you can check whether the IPC and java stack is active. One more thing to keep in mind is if you ever do changes to XCM component then you need to restart the Java Server everytime.

Campaign Managment User Interface settings

Hi,
Can any one please advise on my below query?
In CRM 4.0 using the below path
IMG -> Customer Relationship Management  Marketing  Marketing Planning and Campaign Management  User Interface settings Define Field Selection for Campaigns

So now in SAP CRM 2007 when I checked to do some changes I could not see the path mentioned in IMG screen, so can any one please let me know whether this facility has been removed from SAP CRM 2007.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance,

How Training & Event Management is integrated with FICO?
How it will be integrated and where?
Could you please put it in simple way?

Hi Rajesh,
Cost allocation:
Here it is possible to charge an employeeu2019s cost center with the fee for attending a business event (e.g. training course, workshop). The business event organizeru2019s cost center will be credited and the attendeeu2019s cost center will be debited.
Crediting of the senderu2019s cost center  Debiting of the recipientu2019s cost center
The costs incurred from actually holding a business event can be transferred from the resources cost center to the business event organizeru2019s cost.
Crediting of the senderu2019s cost center  Debiting of the recipientu2019s cost center
In SAP Configuration:
Training and Event Management > Integration->Billing and activity Allocation-->Activity Allocation and cost transfer posting.
Please do above configuration and create business events with or without resourses, in that you can maintain cost centre to post the expenditures .

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

Marketing and Campaign

Hi All,
Can some one tell me the exact difference between,
Marketing Plan
Marketing Plan Element
Campaign
Campaign Element.
If possible also please pass some relevent document regarding the same.
Thanks and Regards
Anirudh

Hi Anirudh
A marketing plan is an instrument used in marketing to draw up and implement marketing
The marketing plan is used as an organizational tool for top-down budget and target planning. You can use marketing plan elements to structure a marketing plan in the form of a hierarchy. You can assign one or more campaigns to each marketing plan element.
Marketing plans can be broken down into further marketing plans, marketing plan elements or campaigns. However, you can only assign campaigns to a campaign. You cannot assign marketing plans to a campaign.
Also Marketing elements is a collective term for marketing plan elements, campaign elements and trade promotion elements.
Marketing plan elements are the building block of a marketing plan,as all marketing plan breaks up into marketing plan elements
for complete clarity just go through this link

https://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/8e/549ab8160940f9bdd9e9022fa68b38/frameset.htm
now regarding campaign
A campaign is an instrument used in marketing planning and campaign management to plan the measures by which a marketing plan is to be executed
Campaigns are used for operative marketing planning and execution. Multiple campaign elements make up a campaign
when you have to use the campaign application what actually heppens is that campaign element which build up as campaign actually these elements are in reality which takes the input and complete the final structure of campaign.
for instance for campaign automation
You copy selected elements directly in the modeling area. You select the elements you want to copy, and then click the secondary mouse button and select Copy Selected Elements
what are these selected elements you have to cpy,these are the campaign elements ,so concept is straight the elements are the building block ,so that any change in final application be it marketing plan or campaign ,these elements are something which are manipulated with.
application can be seen under following link
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/46/0ac751d027424fe10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
just go through what i have said
you will have better understanding of the concept
