CRM 2007 vs CRM 52: Account Search - Favorites

Does the functionality exist in CRM 2007 to save "favorite" accounts in the account search application similar to the accounts application in the PCUI in CRM 40/50? I know that you can do saved searches with CRM 52/2007, however can we create lists of favorite accounts directly from the UI.
Our business users heavily use the favorite account feature in the PCUI. If this not present what alternatives besides setting up relationships between the accounts and their employee bupa record and using a saved search for that criteria would I have to simulate this functionality?
I will generously reward points for proposed solutions.
thank you,
Stephen

Stephen,
Actually I'm not aware of limitations around how many search criteria could be save together as the dynamic object queries are stored and the parameters are stored in a xml format.
The Saved search are stored in tables CRMD_SHORTCUT and CRMT_DYN_QUERY. For the short cut one there also exist a _T table for the texts.
If you want to look for multiple IDs as a saved search you could do this in case you do not have a "better" common search criteria e.g. country or region.
I'm not sure what you refer to as a concept with regards to leveraging the relationships.
Hope this helps,
Florian

Restrict Account search to corporate accounts

We would like to restrict the accounts search to corpoarate accounts only or at least set the default value for the search instead "All Accounts" to "Corporate Accounts".
Thanks
Bernd

Hello Bernd!
I guess there is an option only to use the configuration for the Search for Corp. Accounts.
However, it should also be possible to remove entries of the Shuffler and to have one default.
Perhaps [Note 1308330 - CRM WebUI Account Search gives no result|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1308330]
Is helpful in this context.

Enhance Standard Info Structure SAP_CRM_ACT to add custom fields in CRM Activity archive Search

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we need to enhance CRM UI archive search with custom fields for CRM activity Object CRM_ACT_ON. As per my analysis Standard Archive Search for activity Uses info structure SAP_CRM_ACT for searching archived data.
But when we are trying to add custom fields into above field catalog, it is treated as modification. But Modification is not allowed in our landscape.
Standard infostructure is harcoded in SAP standard method ARCHIVING_READ of class CL_CRM_REPORT_ACC_DYNAMIC which is called as part of the process. So we are not able to go ahead with custom info structure.
Can you please le me know if there are any alternative way to meet above requirement or I have missed any steps.
Thanks & Regards,
Sujit

Refreshing CRM's Account and Contact list with new data

Hi Folks, I am very new to CRM and was tasked with a new job of refreshing our CRM's account and contact listing.
We get a new list in Excel every now or so from a commercial vendor that compiles list of companies and key contacts and sends it out to subscribers.
I cleaned out this Excel data so there is a:
1) Contact List
2) Account List
3) Contact + Account
that can be directly mapped to fields in CRM.
What I need to do is, make sure none of our existing data is deleted. If there is a matching account (eg. company A) then only the phone no, address, website will be updated. If there is a matching contact again do the same.
If there is no matching account in CRM, then create new account and all corresponding contacts.
Anyone done something similar, can you please suggest the optimal way to go around this? Thank.

Hi
When you do an import in On demand , you can select the appropriate choice in the Step 1 of your import wizard.
you can select to import the account with the on demand predefined fields where in you can import via account and location.
In case when duplicate is found you can opt for a overwrite of existing records and when no duplicate is found then you can ask for a new record creation.
the same way you can do for contacts.
By this method you can be sure that records are not lost and new records are created if there is no existing record.\
hope this helps.

Enhance Account Search

Hi Experts,
I need to enhance Account search based on a custom field. I am working on SAP CRM 2007 WebUI. Please guide me in which BAdI should I write the logic.
Please let me know if some other approach also apart from BAdI implemenatation.
Any pointers to the solution would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
You can fidn out the BADI by following the below procedure:
1. Go to the TCode SE24 and enter CL_EXITHANDLER as object type.
2. In 'Display' mode, go to 'Methods' tab.
3. Double click the method 'Get Instance' to display it source code.
4. Set a breakpoint on 'CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface'.
5. Then run the employee search.
6. The screen will stop at this method.
7. Check the value of parameter 'EXIT_NAME'. It will show you the BADI for that transaction.
Hope this helps!

Account search functinality is not working for one user in portal

Hi friends,
We have configured E.P 7.0 with CRM 5.0 and configured CRM PCUI business package.
We have a role called <b>accounts and products</b> in portal. So accounts can be searched in this role.
Now our severity issue is for one of the super user,for ex su1, accounts search is not working in portal but the same is working in CRM GUI.
for example if we search for an account 233445(or any other account) in portal its showing no data found but if we search with the same criteria data is displaying CRM GUI.
We have checked with other 2 super ids. Both ends portal and gui search is working fine.
Am unable to figure out whats the cause of the issue as search is not working only for one user su1 .
we have checked by restarting the server also to clear the memory cache.But still search is not working in portal.
Could anyone of u please advice ASAP as this is severity issue.
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi srinivas,
I have checked both the users credentials,permissions,groups in the GUI and also in the portal.
Both of the users profiles are assigned as same.
Could you please advice is there any other way to check it out?

Account Search by Territory ID/Desc

Hello Experts,
I'm facing a couple of issues working with territory management:
<1> I understand that Account Search by territory id & desc are standard delivery from CRM 7.0. However, this is not working in my system. Searching on these fields returns 0 results even though we have accounts assigned to the territories. I've checked the table CRMD_TERR_ACCREL - it has the correct entries of territory-account relationships.
<2> The territory admin reports - namely "Accounts: No territories" and "Territories: No Employees" are not working. System throws an error "Selected Report does not exist". I implemented note 1320439 (which claims to solve this issue) but in vain.
Request your comments/suggestions please.
Regards, Vishal

Hi Masood, thanks for your response. Here is the answer to your questions:
Do you have an active rule for this territory ? - Yes
Is the rule valid in terms of dates ? - Yes
was the rule revised ? - Yes, but only for one of the territories
Also check if the FM CRM_TERRMAN_SINGLE_READ_BUFFER returns your attributes if you execute it many times passing the territory id.
- Yes, it returns the attribuites like rules for the territory, description, employees etc,. but not the accounts linked to it. Which structure would it get accounts in?

Account search filter

Dear all,
Iam looking for an appropriate technique or filter where I would like to restrict or filter the Account search functionality in CRM by ensuring that the Accounts/Business Partners of only those Sales Organization the Employee is assigned to, are displayed and not all by default.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Perhaps there exists some BADI for this?.
Thanks,
Praveen

It is possible to filter BT by ACE. Perhaps you can go a similar way as described Filter business transactions by employee responsible.
There exists a BAdI for enhancing the BP search as well: BADI_CRM_BUPA_IL_SEARCH_EXT
Implement it to filter the search result. search_criteria_initial() has to return false in your case then method search_partners() is called where you can execute your filter.
cheers Carsten

BAdI for Account Search

Hi All,
I need a BADI in CRM 5.0 version for Account Search using EEWB fields.
I found a BADi CRM_ACC_SEARCH and have created a implementation, but the badis is not getting triggered during the search...
Let me know is there any other way to trigger the BADI or is there any means for using EEWB fields in Acc search.
Thanx,
Sivasankar

Hi Sivasankar,
There is a generic approach to identify all -classic- BAdIs called during program execution. You may use that approach to search for appropriate BAdI around Account Search:
trx SE24
CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE method
call method cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface
    exporting
      instance                      = instance
    importing
      class_name                    = class_name
    changing
      exit_name                     = exit_name
    exceptions
      no_reference                  = 1
      no_interface_reference        = 2
      no_exit_interface             = 3
      data_incons_in_exit_managem   = 4
      class_not_implement_interface = 5
      others                        = 6.
case sy-subrc.
    when 1.                                "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< your external break-point here: then check EXIT_NAME variable
      raise no_reference.
Setting a break-point in this method will have program stop each time system checks if an BAdI implementation exists.
Hope this will help you
Best regards

Hello Kalpana,
I've already locked your previous discussion and thought that I gave pretty clear warning.
First of all "do my job" posts are not welcomed on SCN.
Second point: you're incorrect in choosing SCN space with such questions. Here is a little which is related to IC in your task.
Third point is that if somebody has an answer to your exact question then he will give you it if he wants. There is no reason to post-post-post messages asking for help or hurry. Your "urgent requirement" is not the reason either.
Fourth one is: according to The SCN Rules of Engagement you need to do the search before posting. Almost all of your questions regarding this topic has an answer already.
Locking the discussion again. If you continue to post such questions I will need to report this situation to SAP CRM space editors and global moderators.

Account search F4 Help from BP Relationship page restricts the search

Hi ,
Account search F4 Help from BP Relationship page restricts the search to corporate accounts.
The business partner category maintained for the relationship type in Tcode buba is organization and person.But the search is restricted to corporate accounts only.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanila

Hi Shobhi,
Can you provide some more details about the system ?
Are you using transaction BP or CRM Web UI ? Also, which BBPCRM SP are you on ?
This problem does not exist in higer SPs of CRM, and a related problem existed in Web UI that the F4 search did not consider the role based customizing. This has been corrected in SAP note 1297760.
My guess is that everything is working fine in your system. Probably, you have also maintained some role based restrictions in BUBA customizing. Now, possibly, the allowed roles are only valid for corporate accounts, that's why you only see organizations in the search.
E.g : say u have a relationship category ZBUP03 - Employee rel
Now, you have a role restriction that partner 2 must be only role BUP003 = employee.
Now, according to role customizing, employee can only be person.
Thus, when you search for BP's to assign to rel category ZBUP03, you will only see persons.
Probably, this is the scenario in your system.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rishu.

G/L Accounts Search

Hi SAP gurus,
I have a little problem with the G/L accounts search. After creating G/L accounts for a particular company code, while testing for document entry using FB50, when I click on the drop down menu to search for the GL accounts i get a message "no views for this selection" and the system requests if i want to create the accounts. However, when i run the program S_ALR_87012333, i can see all the accounts have been created and are present in the company code level( I created them using FS00 in case you are wondering). Has anyone ever experienced this problem before or i'm I missing something here?
The SAP version is ECC 5.0. Any input would be very much appreciated.
Also, i'm able to do FI document entry without any problem if i entr the account number directly; I just can't search usint the drop down menu.

Hi Ankur,
I managed to solve the problem by having the BASIS people apply a higher level patch for the SAP GUI 6.40. Apparently we were using a lower version/patch level. The patch that was applied was patch 22. I hope this helps.

An exception occurred during account Search

Hi Experts,
On Account Search , I am getting the below exception.
Cannot display view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/MainSearchResult of UI Component BP_HEAD_SEARCH
An exception has occurred Exception Class CX_BOL_EXCEPTION - Access Previously Deleted Entity
Method: CL_CRM_BOL_CORE=>REREAD_ENTITY
Source Text Row: 137
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Priya.

Hi Raj,
It didn't work for me. Since the same code is in Quality Server , its working fine there.
Its not able to display " view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/MainSearchResult " in the configuration i found out one field which is being added by AET
but when i tried to see it in Enhancements its not there so i think might be this field was created and deleted but it is not deleted completely.
this field is available only in Context node of Search Result list.
Perhaps if this field is completely deleted it might help, but don't know how to delete it Since its not in Enhancements where we can delete the fields added by AET.
do you have any idea?
Pls Help.
Priya.
