Difference between PCUI and CRM GUI

Hi all,
We are currently on CRM 5.0 and we noticed that in the CRM GUI
you have much more possibilities(and freedom) as in the PCUI version.
Eg. In the PCUI we can relate a contactperson to only 1 company while in the
gui version this is unlimited.
Another example: If we relate a contactperson to a company in the PCUI,
the address of the company is shown together with the contact person.
If we do this in the GUI(even when explicitly choosing for the copying of the address) , there is no copying of this address.
Is this default and standard SAP?
I can understand that the PCUI offers less possibilities but I can not believe that it handles another business logic then in the GUI.
Thanks for all reactions,
Hans

Dear Frederic,
Thanks for your fast response.
I'm not at my office and i'm a total novice in CRM.
How can I see which application we use?
Us was told that there is only ONE possibility for transaction BP in the portal.
Since there are differences between the two gui's, there is now the intention to rework the gui backend(with bapi's) so that it would react the same as in the portal(PCUI).
I have 10 years of overall experience in R/3 and this seems to me the world upside down.
Another intention is to let all users work from the portal(which is not very performant)
Furthermore I've difficulty to believe that SAP would offer a product(PCUI) that handles another business logic then the backend logic which is the basis of everything.
About the business address of the contact person:
In the portal we see this address together with the contact person data.
In the GUI we don't see it on the general tab(which doesn't seem to me unlogic since you can relate the same contact person to different companies)
Thanks again,
Hans

  • Difference Between PCUI and IC

    Hi  Experts ,
           I have been with other Forum area . I  have had an oppurtunity to share with you all .
           The applicaitons  of PCUI and Interaction center are developed usng
    BSP , They are web based .
       only UI In could find is that PCUI is more intuitive than Interaction Center .
    Could  you  share  with  the  importance differnce .
    Thanks and Regards ,

    People Centric UI (PCUI)
    People Centric User Interface provides a framework for developing web applications. This framework is based on the Business Server Page (BSP) technology and uses Model-View-Controller (MVC) programming model. PCUI developed applications can be easily integrated into SAP portals. Ease of use and excellent design principles makes PCUI a very helpful framework for developing stable, scalable and intuitive pattern based web applications.
    PCUI is NOT intended as a general UI framework for all SAP customers. It is limited to CRM. Everything else is unsupported by SAP,even if shipped with others solutions like mySAP ERP.
    Interaction Centre (IC)
    IC is basically related to telesales, telemarketing, customer service, and call center management functionality that allows you to leverage IC (along with the Web) as your main touch point for all marketing, sales, and service interactions with your customers. It allows you to find out how your call center agents can execute call lists, qualify leads, update customer data, create orders, and process service requests and complaints. Evaluate the differences among service orders, service tickets, cases, and complaints. Get tips for your managers about how to save time by using IC to monitor call lists, review email and telephone queues, and evaluate service levels. Hear how your colleagues route and handle inbound e-mails and Web forms in IC and how they dispatch and escalate services to agents. Gain insights into how to automate your peripheral call center duties to allow your agents to perform more strategic activities. IC is not a framework for development but its already developed nd u just need some configuration.

  • Difference between webpublish and web gui builder

    Have you worked with webpublishing tool in LABVIEW 2013 before? Do you think I can show my front panel which is designed in Labview fully on the web by this method?
    Please make your advice about it. I have studied few articles about web gu builder, webpublishing and webservers but I am still not clear which one can simply satisfy my objective?
    My objective is to display the graphical front panel which is designed in labview .vi exactly on the web. 

    Portal Servers are usually Application servers which host a 
    variety of Applications, Portals as a concept are single Gateway 
    to whole lot of information and applications(could be 
    distributed across systems, generally Web based ones). 
    Eg. BEA Weblogic Portal 
    Content Management systems are applications to Capture, Manage, 
    version, distribute and Store content. Content can be Structured 
    and Unstructured. Generally I have seen when CMS word is used, 
    it means Web Content Management, although this is not a norm 
    across the industry. 
    I am sure you are aware of WCMS and ECMS differences. 
    E.g Interwoven TeamSite, Documentum, OpenCMS etc. 
    CMS facilitates the ready availibility of content to be shown on 
    Portal in large Portals (the concept). This content could be 
    sourced in from various systems and distributed by the CMS. 
    Essentially any CMS deals with Content Creation, Content 
    Management proper, Content Intelligence and Content 
    Distibution. 
    However important thing to note could be the emerging products 
    which are Portals and have a built in CMS tool also, like BEA 
    (Aqualogic in particular). There is another genere of products 
    like Vignette, Broadvision which are Portals and CMS both in one 
    (have CMS products built in but as a seperate component).

  • What is the main difference between eewb and aet tool ?

    Dear all,
    What is the main difference between eewb and aet? Both ways we can create fields and coming to aet is in crm 7.0 and eewb is in 6.0.when we are creating fields through eewb we should have technical knowledge but aet tool is a simple tool as a function people also can easily add the fields. I want to know is there any main difference between both these tools.
    Regards,
    Jemmi.

    EEWB works from SAP GUI whereas AET works from WEB UI. AET is developed on top of the EEWB. Most the Objects are supported barring a few through AET. It's a very usefull tool for SAP CRM.
    Since in CRM SAP GUI will be phased out soon, AET will be prominent. One will see lot more features in upcoming relase in AET tool.

  • Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
    In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
    In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
    In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.

  • Difference Between BAPI And RFC in ABAP

    Hi,
    i want to know difference between BAPI and RFC in SAP,
    can we call SAP GUI screen from NON SAP System Using BAPI.
    Reg,
    Hariharan

    Hi Ravishankar,
    The difference is not importat while you understand the concept.
    I think, RFC is the protocol for calling functions from external systems in R/3.
    I understand like BAPI a series of complet functions that SAP offers you for use and model a business use.
    But if I need program a function that can be called for external system i would call it RFC_NAME, because is a unique function that makes a single task.
    In other words, the difference i think is about work idea more than another thing.
    RFC
    A remote function call is a call to a function module running in a system different from the caller's. The remote function can also be called from within the same system (as a remote call).
    RFC consists of two interfaces : A calling interface for ABAP Programs and a calling interface for Non-SAP programs.
    The RFC Interface takes care of :-
    - Converting all parameter data to the representation needed in the remote system
    Calling the communication routines needed to talk to the remote system.
    Handling communications errors, and notifying the caller, if desired ( using EXCEPTIONS paramater of the CALL FUNCTION).
    BAPI
    BAPIs are standardized programming interfaces (methods) enabling external applications to access business processes and data in the R/3 System.
    BAPIs provide stable and standardized methods to achieve seamless integration between the R/3 System and external applications, legacy systems and add-ons.
    BAPIs are defined in the BOR(Business object repository) as methods of SAP business object types that carry out specific business functions.
    BAPIs are implemented as RFC-enabled function modules and are created in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.
    The most critical difference btwn BAPI and FM is that BAPI can be wrapped in Business objects whereas RFC cant.
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

  • What is the difference between ERP2004 and SAP 47 Enterprise?

    Currently we have SAP 47 Enterprise with WAS 6.2. I understand ERP2004 is NW and 6.4 sp9. Can any one please let me know the major difference between ERP2004 and SAP 4.7 Enterprise ( more from abap / workflow view)?
    Thanks
    Swamy

    From Abap point of view some of the major add-on in erp2004,netwever :
    1) Development of webdynpro studio for java development for portal and iviews.
    2) Major abap development uses <b>Abap object oriented</b> methodology, rathet hten old conventional Abap,i.e MVC model (Model,View,Controller) where in it uses concept of classes,interfaces,etc.
    3) Advanced BSP tech using MVC model to develop web based modules
    4) It is closesly integrated with web-based CRM and BW/APO

  • Differences between CRM2006s and CRM2007

    Hi All,
    Can someone please tell me about the differences between CRM2006s and CRM2007 ?
    I want to know particularly what are the additions done in CRM2007 as compared to CRM2006s.
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Ashish,
    This has been hashed up before but here are the major differences:
    Functional
    - Trade Promotion Management Module
    - Drag and Drop personalization
    Technical
    - Editable overview screens
    - New NOVA theme
    - collapsable left hand menu bar
    - Personalization of SU3 user data
    - ability to configure screens directly in UI instead of going to SAP GUI however this is still kinda flakey and I prefer to still use BSP_WD_CMPWB.
    From a pure config/developer standpoint you won't notice a lot of difference and if you learned 2006s then the transition to 2007 is very seemless .
    We ran both releases here, so If you got some more detailed questions let me know.
    Take care,
    Stephen

  • Activity System status: differences between u0093Openu0094 and u0093In processu0094 status

    Dear Experts,
    What’s the difference between “Open” and “In process” system status? In help.sap.com it: “There are four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
    • Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
    • In process: administrator is clearing up questions”
    But, how does the system assumes the “In Process” status ?? I‘ve tested business activities creation with different employees assigned and, when editing and saving the business activities with these BP’s the system status does not change.
    However, in other “unknown” situations the status system is changed to “in Process”.
    Any ideas about the meaning of the “In Process” status? And when the business activity switches to that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joao

    Hi,
    These four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
    ·        Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
    ·        In process: administrator is clearing up questions
    ·        Released: contract is complete and legal. Follow-up processes can be started (printing, billing, distribution, releases and so on)
    ·        Completed: All actions directly linked to contract are completed
    ·        Closed: all actions indirectly linked to the contract are closed (for example, from R/3: batch run to actual costs)
    Each status having its own control at the configuration level. If you observe the following process you may understand the importance of various statuses.
    For example in any transaction by default status would be Open. Once the transaction opened by the respective responsible person he will change the status as In Process, Once the assigned task is completed he will change the status as Completed.
    Please notice the configuration settings in the following navigation path:
    SPRO->IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Functions->Status Management-> Change Status Profile for User Status->Select Quotation->Double click on the different status. You can observe the difference.
    Hope I convinced.
    Best Regards,
    Johnny.

  • Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?

    Hi,
    Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?
    I guess R2 is used only for mainframe systems some time back. But i dont know why we prefered R3 over R2.
    Please clarify this!
    Thanks,
    Venkatesh.R.

    SAP R/3 is
    Client server
    3 tier
    Presentation
    Application
    Database
    Relatively hardware and database independent
    ABAP/4 applications runs on application servers.
    Dispatcher, shared memory, gateway, work processes are major components of an application server.
    SAP R/3 offers
    Comprehensive suite of integrated applications meeting the needs of most business
    Best practice process design
    Ability to configure to
    Industry sector
    Unique business requirements
    In a R/2  System - it is a 2 Tier System based on Mainframe Systems with Intelligent terminals
    R/3 is based 3 tier Client Server architechture and supports the R/2 system as well.
    R/3 Middleware -
    Client server
    Uses underlying relational databases
    Oracle
    SQL server
    Ingress
    Sybase
    Its graphical user interface
    Sap GUI
    hence R/3 is preffered over R/2 systems because they support Client Server Architecture which is easily configurable,scalable and can integrate with ERP systems and integrate with SOA or Web based Apps.
