Difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.

hi,
anyone knows the differences difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.
anykind of links or files are helpful.
regards.
raman.

Hi,
actually quite a late response and I think all the rather technically focuses comments have already been given, incl. the link to a really good slide deck, that explains all the technical architecture details on what exactly we did.
From an end user perspective some other statements on what we did:
(1) From an information architecture and visualization perspective we acted based on feedback from our customers in the last years, which led to some restructuring of the screen, e.g. moving the navigation bar from the top area of the screen (horizontal) to the left hand side --> sounds simple but users tend to have problem seeing thing at the top of the screen. We also decided to arrange the information for e.g. an account or an opportunity not in a tab oriented format. Again usability tests in CRM had shown that users often find it hard to see and understand that tabs contain additional information. We now show the details in assignment blocks below the header information in a scrollable format. Vertical scrolling is a behavior of a screen that most users know from their internet experience. Those are just two exampels of what we did in this area
(2) We also have put a large focus on well known web behaviors, like drag & drop and personalization in general, knowing that on the one hand side, no matter what standard UI we deliver, users tend to adapt it exactly based on their needs and wishes. So you will find really easy to understand personalization options everywhere in the new CRM Web Client UI. To achieve this we used lots of web 2.0 techologies that enable especially these easy interactive capabilitites.
(3) Finally, and this relates directly to the arguments mentioned in (2) we focused as well on really easy UI configuration. Again, in every customer project user interface changes are made, to adapt the SAP default to the customers needs. here we invested a lot to make the 60-80% most common UI changes done in projects as easy as possible, that even non-technical people can generally do it (like Power users).
Hope this clarifies some arguments what from the users point of view has been done and what the advantages are.
When you follow the same link as mentioned by Nadine above, you can also find a presentation UI Concept, which explains all the details rather from a users perspective.
Best regards and enjoy the new UI ..and every feedback is very much welcome, only with your feedback we can improve the solution even more.

Difference between SAP CRM and mySAP CRM

Hi ,
can anybody tell me the Difference between SAP CRM and mySAP CRM.
Regards,
Shaker.

Personally I have never called it mySAP CRM even though I have worked with SAP CRM since version 2.0C.
IMHO: Calling it SAP CRM + numerical version number is lot easier to understand
If you look at a CRM system the installed component could be one of the following:
BBPCRM 20C SAP CRM 2.0C
BBPCRM 300 SAP CRM 3.0
BBPCRM 310 SAP CRM 3.1
BBPCRM 400 SAP CRM 4.0 / mySAP CRM 2004
BBPCRM 500 SAP CRM 5.0 / mySAP CRM 2005
BBPCRM 510 SAP CRM 2006s(1)
BBPCRM 520 SAP CRM 2006s(2)
BBPCRM 600 SAP CRM 2007 / SAP CRM 6.0
BBPCRM 700 SAP CRM 7.0
I'm not sure about some of the other versions.. but I believe that covers most.
Take care,
Stephen

Difference between SAP CRM Security and SAP ECC 6.0 security

Hi
I have extensively worked on SAP ECC security but haven't have chance to work on CRM Security.
Can anyone please let me know the difference between CRM security compared to ECC security.
Thanks...

I am sorry to say, but instead of giving the guy a decent answer you are starting a fight or discussion about stupid forum points...
really sad.....
The big difference between SAP ECC and SAP CRM Security (up to release 5.0) was the following:
1) For sure there are very different transaction codes in SAP CRM as compared to SAP ECC in the first place
2) If you are familiar with R/3 or ECC authorizations; then you know that already on transaction code level, the 'allowed activity' is controlled on tcode level , whereas in SAP CRM , in most cases the 'allowed activity is not controlled by the Transaction code, but on authorization object level....
E.g. transaction code BP allows you to create/change/display any type of Business Partner (e.g; sold-to/ship-to/contact person/employee/customer) which is based on the business partner ROLE concept.... anyway...you can control the allowed activity based on different authorization objects.....
another example is business transaction processing...which can be launched by:
a very generic transaction code: CRMD_ORDER
transaction category related transaction codes :e.g.
> CRMD_BUS2000126 for activity management
> CRMD_BUS200115 for Sales processes
Again...allowed activity is not controlled by the tcode, but on authorization object level...
3) As of the new WEBCLIENT UI (which is valid as of release CRM2006s/CRM2007/CRM7.0) SAP also invented an extra authorization layer, which is UI COMPONENT LEVEL and logical links.... controlled by object UIU_COMP.
However, they also introduced the BUSINESS ROLE Concept (e.g; SALESPRO/MARKETINGPRO/...) which defines actually the functionalities, navigation bar, screen configuration, logical links you can use/see within the new WEBclient UI.
Another thing is that instead of using TRANSACTION CODES, as of these new releases, you are actually using 'external services'....so you do not authorize on tcodes basically....but the logic between tcodes and external services in relation to the authorization objects that are checked is more or less the same....
STANDARD authorization setup in the new WEBUI client is therefore controlled by both backend authorizations (not UIU component related) and the UIU_COMP (restricting access to workcenters/logical links/...)
4) Additionally SAP also provides a concept called ACE (which stand for ACCES CONTROL ENGINE)....
This requires a bit of customizing...and the rest is more or less pure customer development, as you will create your own methods where you'll define a logic which dynamically will verify what kind of access you have for an object....
You should now that ACE is actually implemented on top of your 'normal' sap crm security setup....
cheers

Main differences between R/3 CIC and CRM CIC ?

Hi all,
does anybody now the main differences between R/3 CIC and the CRM CIC? or what are the main restricitions in the R/3 CIC.
Thanks and regards,
Norbert

Hi Novert
The CRM 4.0 system has two "CIC's", they have a WinClient and WebClient.
Both offer multi-channel and real-time hardphone/softphone sync. The WinClient is more flexible and faster performance. The Webclient is lighter foot print and more the future of what SAP plans to offer.
The CIC in ECC is SAPphone based, which means that real-time hardphone/softphone sync is not possible. It's also telephony only through SAPphone. You have to use SAPconnect for e-mail, and there is NO webchat support. We have a number of customers that embed the Agent Dashboard into their CIC for R/3 to provide that extra functionality, but even without it CIC in R/3 is usable.
Many vendors provide SAPphone Connectors to different CTI's (computer telephony integrations). MCIS WinClient Connectors are only provided by AMC. Many vendors provide Connectors for the WebClient (which is based on ICI). The connectors from AMC support all the different "CIC's".
There are some other functional differences as well; like upport for ERMS and the types of transactions you can access, etc.
R/3 CIC is not getting developed or enhanced since 1999. Most of the new feature is developed in CRM CIC. If you do not care any of the new feature, you can use ECC CIC. You can find the feature list on Service Market Place.

Manohar

Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

Hello guys,
Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
Are there others workflows types in SAP?
In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
Thanks a lot!
Kleber

Hello Kleber,
There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business workflows..
Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

Anand

Difference between SAP MI and CRM Mobile Sales

hi experts,
we need to understand difference between SAP MI and CRM mobiles sales solutions. what are SAP's recommendations: where to use MI and where to use Mobile sales.
can some of you explain the pros and cons of each solution or let me know the place where i get such info.
thanks in advance.
RH

SAP MI apps are aimed at PDAs while CRM Mobile Sales is aimed (and can only work with) at laptops.
PDA solutions are mostly used by sales agents while the laptop solution is more suitable to account managers. The laptop has much more information available that includes:
- Marketing planning and execution capabilities
- Account Planning
- BW Reporting
Mobile Sales for PDAs has more basic functionalities like order & activity management and business partner data maintenance (which are also included in the laptop version).

Difference between SAP/APO/DP and the SAP/CRM solution for forecasting

Hi,
Can you please help me identifying the main differences between SAP/APO/DP and the SAP/CRM solution for forecasting? Advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks a lot

Hi LCD777,
Forecasting at DP & CRM are altogether at different entities. CRM involves webbased data transfer mechanism tool whereas DP is database/livecache driven tool.
In CRM, you dont get optimised solution of forecasting out of it whereas in DP you can get as much as
optimised solution & flexibility as per your requirements.
DP is majorly a forecasting tool where in huge statistical method functionalities are embedded in
whereas CRM is majorly a transactional tool wherein it involves gathering of forecast data and executing it.
Typically, CRM will be integrated with DP containing GATP environment & ECC so that DP will plan for forecast data, ECC system drives sales order data & GATP calls for availability check and finally
the forecast execution& transactions will be controlled by CRM

Difference between SAP PSCD and tax and Revenue management

Hi All,
I am new to SAP industry solutions for public sector and am actually trying to understand the new systems. Can anyone please tell me the difference between SAP PSCD and SAP Tax and Revenue management ? Please revert.
Thanks in advance,
Shakuntala

Hi Shakuntala,
PSCD is an industry add-on on top of SAP ERP FI-CA (Contract Accounting), which is part of SAP ERP Core.
Tax & Revenue Management is a Public Sector industry solution, which utilizes PSCD to enable some of its key processes (e.g. account management and collection management). However, TRM as a business solution also make use of other modules and systems (e.g. CRM).
The initial development of PSCD was strongly driven by Tax&Revenue Management, therefore people usually have hard time to differentiate between the two terms. But now PSCD is also used by and enhanced for other SAP Public Sector solutions like Grantor Management or Social Services.
Best regards,
Xiaoi

Hi Paluri
Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
Regards
Ashish
Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
SAP Locks:
To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.
