Customer Service Process

Hi,
Business Process:
Customer has given the complaint. So Service notification will be created. It requires man power as well as components replacement.
I have 2 different solutions. Please advice me which one is better than other & why.
Solution 1:
From notification, sales order will be created for configurable service material & the components to be replaced. I have created service product & configuration profile for service material. So in background, service order will be created with pre-defined task list. I will do the delivery & PGI based on sales order. I will bill based on sales order. In background, I will execute the service order & I will settle the labor cost to sales order. So I guess, while billing I can bill the customer on total value (material cost & labor cost)
Solution 2:
From notification, I will create the service order. I will execute the service order & I will do GI for the order. I will do the billing based on service order.
Here drawback I guess, I can't do GI to the customer instead I will do for the order.
I have gone through this link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/e6/4a903f9e0311d189b70000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
In this link, it has been mentioned that components should be assigned to service order.
So what would be the need of business process Automatic creation of service order from Sales order using service product?
Please clarify.

Hi,
It is totally depends on how you look for the scenario,
If you want to show that Goods are issued to customer  then solution first is OK, but doing business process is complex one for user, that they have to create notification in CS then create sales order in SD then delivery then again create service order in CS and again create billing with reference to sales order, it is like jumping here and there.
Where as second solution is strait forward
Starting from CS and ending in SD billing one time only here and there so it can be very easy to user

    Customer Service (CS) draws on functionality from different SAP application components, in particular Plant Maintenance (PM) and Sales and Distribution (SD). For example, CS involves the planning and processing of external services, such as contracts for the maintenance and repair of equipment that a customer has either bought or rented. Maintenance planning and servicing is managed in PM; in SD you can create and maintain the relevant service contracts. Contract-related charges that are incurred in PM are passed on in the form of requests for billing in SD.
    In Returns and Repairs Processing, you will find a diagram showing the typical events in the day-to-day world of customer service. It also illustrates the interplay within Customer Service of SD and PM functions.
    In the following sections, you will find information on the Customer Service functions in Sales and Distribution.

  • I am a customer Verizon customer of over ten years...I am notgettingany assistance from the customer service department. Since September I am being charged for a Samsung phone that I returned based on the process that verizon has set.return the defective

    turn my phone to send Verizon wireless and those instead of the stuff found. I'm not in charge $600 for the for the phone. I'll talk to multiple customer service reps and nothing has really been done about anything other then we'll keep looking or so for stretching it out. since September I've been dealing with thison a month-to-month basis they cut my services they reinstate me and tell me that they're going to knock off the reconnection charge as I have four lines. Unfortunately my main reason for this phone is my work emails which I need to do because I do work and to contact my mother who is 85 years old and I'm the sole caregiver. I don't know what else to do. I have spoken to a supervisor  by the name of William or Will oats in that he said he was going to look into it and was going to help me out. Never heard from him again- just original email to quiet me down. I've been sending him emails just about every day trying to make sure that I get my message across. Seems like Verizon Wireless really doesn't care about the long-term customers. Looking forward to hearing from someone that can help me with my plight.process is faulty for returns. You don't accept them in the stores because as one customer service rep stated you can't get your own employees to send the devices back. Now the responsibilities is on the customer the paying customer the one that keeps you alive. And it's not fair that I there's no way I can prove that I put it in the mailbox. So what are my next stepswhat is it that I need to do to clear up this charge of $600. It's about economy as $600 to me at this very point it's a lot of money. I've been your customer for 10 years I've got four lines I've given will my mothers telephone number home number..number but now she's got to sit by the phone to make sure that she picks up all the calls. And nobody can hear what I have to sayand nobody has been able throughout all these months and check your notes check your notes to see how many times I've called how many time you cut my services how many times you reinstated me and how many times that I spent an hour and a half to two hours on the phone going through this process. I think the stress level is to know thqt I did exactly what you asked...I am now paying the price for your faulty process I'm all I'm asking is review my account tell me what I did wrong I follow your procedure so I don't understand....to top it off...my wife hasa per diem job...and she too is affected by loosing out on work leads...
    as you can see, the cel is no longer a commodity. It's a way of life.
    PLease se call me at -----just remembered....I don't have a service line.

    I have a similar problem with my fathers service, it wasns't $600 but what is rightfully your money, you deserve it back, I wrote this complaint on the Consumer Affairs website:
    In August 2014, my son went to Target to get a new cell phone and was told his Unlimited Data would still be on his plan (he shared a line on his grandfathers account). Well it turned out that Target messed it up and my son immediately called Verizon to get it taken care of but they were not able to do anything about the lost unlimited data but the customer service rep did try to find the best offer for him. In the mean time Verizon was suppose to send him a new cell phone, they never sent it and he was without a phone so he took his business to another cell provider. Verizon DID charge him for the new service that they had spoke about. So when the new bill (Sept) came, the service he never used was on the bill and when we called to inquire about it we spoke to a Judy and told us we would be receiving a credit of the amount that was paid. Well, we got the next months bill (Oct) and still no credit, so called them again and spoke to a Nadine ** . She looked into the account and saw the amount that was paid and said she would submit it again for a credit and she would get back to me in 2 days, no call back.
    The next bill (Nov) came and no credit again, call again but didn't get the girls name and she put me on hold to look over the previous conversations. She said she sees in the records about the credit and said it takes a while to get it thru the supervisor authorization and she would put it in as a "rush priority". On Dec. 5th my dad's cell was turned off, so I call yet again to Verizon, and explain the whole story to them again. This girl explained to me that the request was not put in correctly and that she would submit it right this time, they even turned the cell back on for him.
    So here we are today, Dec. 30, 2014, I get the bill...NO CREDIT, call up and get a gentleman in billing, explain this whole thing again and he transferred me over to customer service where I spoke to a Jordan and yet again told him the story. By this time I was fuming, 3 almost 4 months of calling for this credit and he looks into the account and tells me there is nothing that states there is a credit so all the other customer service reps see it but now it is gone. He said he can only issue me a $25 credit to the bill, not even close to what the bill was that I paid. At this point I wanted to speak to a Supervisor and even that was a problem.
    He did call me back after my phone died. He put me on hold again to speak to a supervisor himself and said that he can only offer me $100 credit for all my troubles for the past few months. I took the $100 credit because Jordan said if I spoke to the supervisor, the $100 credit might not be an offer anymore so it was either take it or leave it. Now where I stand, they get away with NOT giving the credit due to customers. I am done with Verizon.
    today being March 12, 2015, he FINALLY got the said $100 credit...but because of their delay, he service was shut off and I refuse to pay the reconnection fee due to their neglect of a customer of over ten years. My father's service will NO longer be with a place that has NO VALUE in customer service....Verizon robs their customers anyway they can.

    I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE.  Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone.  I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf.  Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying.  Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • BT "customer service" and Call centre processes......

    I have been having intermittent drop outs on my wifi network for about 2-3 weeks now.  I have a laptop, desktop and two notebooks connected (not all the time).  So i took my laptop to a friend to check if it were the PC that was causing the issue, not surprisingly it did not.  As the remaining 3 networked PC's also had a common problem, it made sense that a common fault existed.  Therefore either the line into the house or the router was at fault.  so, I checked the helpful BT step by Step checklist in regards fault finding - all checked out - but then again why wouldn't it as the fault is intermittent.
    As we have had no audible issues (checked with neighbours in case the telephone exchange was faulty), I phoned the "helpdesk.  Got a nice guy called Abhay, who diligently went though his spiel.  After 25 minutes of me trying to explain that the fault was intermittent and that all I wanted was a new reliable router sending out (the current one is 2 years old) we arrived at this conclusion (and confirmed by his supervisor).
     1. I would need to be in front of my PC and home router to go through one of his technical colleagues checklists.
    2. The fault was recorded on my Call Centre Notes as intermittent and that it may not repeat under test conditions
    3. Upon completion of the checklist regardless of the outcome of the troubleshooting, I was to request a replacement router be sent out - a fact also recorded on my call centre notes.
    4. It was confirmed that this was the case that the check list would need to be completed but regardless of the outcome a router would be despatched immediately upon conclusion, "as it probably was the router given the fault and age".
    I asked then, why it was necessary to call back and waste my time and bt resource ticking a box if the act of ticking the box has not influence on the outcome.    All I want is a new router (and a good reliable service) which will be forthcoming after the fruitless box ticking exercise.  I asked if he would be able to just send me a router now, he said not.  I asked if I could escalate to someone who could authorise a new router, he said not.  So I have to phone back and waste more time to get what we all know will be the eventual outcome.
    I know there are processes, but why are there not supervisors/managers in BT who can a) think about customer expectations, b) consider the impact on customer’s time and BT resource in regards rigidity, c) think beyond a checklist, d) satisfy the needs of their customers?
    I bet that bloke out of "my family" never has this issue - and don't get me started on Infinity....Virgin media is beginning to look more and more appealing (never had a problem with Virgin customer services in the past - holidays, mobile and healthcare - there is a theme about brand evangelists and customer loyalty  here.  Virgin treat their customers as honoured guests where you (BT) seem to think you have a god given right to provide service and customers are loyally bound to the brand – I have been a BT customer as long as I’ve owned my house (25 years ish), and remained loyal but this is not the way customers should be treated.

    These people don't give a hoot.  It's not about "developing a customer relationship" or meeting basic expectations.
    Customers are treated as problems -- to be palmed off with a line (I have heard multiple stories as to what my oustanding fault is (2 months now and I phone every few days)).
    They don't appear to communicate at all with each other -- even if you have phoned up every few days for months they will act as if that is the first time you have phoned.  You will be asked the same questions again and again -- what type is your line box I have answered probably a dozen times recently.  What is your telephone number when you have already dialled it in.  I even went through a month or so last year when they were denying I was a customer. They don't record anything. They are completely disorganised.  They go through the motions of a line test again and again to seem to be effectual.  The indians are apologetic and you can believe it -- but the British aren't.
    I think you've hit it on the head that the culture of the state owned monopoly BT has perpetuated (at least in the UK). They think we owe them a living.

    I was not given the option to purchase applecare + with iPhone 5.I tried calling Apple customer service, the automated process took my info but then came back and said too busy to help you now. How can I buy it now?

    You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
    Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
    We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
    We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
    After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
    Thank you for shopping with Apple.
    Sincerely,
    Apple Online Store Team
