Engagement Management  with CRM Projects

Hi
   I am trying to use Engagement Management with Project Controlling. CRM Project is configured to replicate to an R/3 project. All the roles, resource assignments are transferred to R/3 project.
   However, in the process of engagement management, I could not plan my costs and revenues on the CRM Project. The planned costs and revenues are calculated only when the project data is transferred to R/3. I was wondering if there is any config, that I am missing, because I want to be able to plan my costs and revenue for the resources with in the CRM Project(in proposal phase) before the approval phase of project. I want to replicate CRM Project to R/3 only when the project is approved.
   Please drop in your ideas and suggestions.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Hi,
We have a PSCD system, as well as grants management handled by CRM.
However, I'm not sure exactly what your question is?
We use the PSCD system as the source of truth for BPs, contract accounts etc. So you can keep things the way they are. You just have to set up middleware (BDocs) to replicate these objects to CRM.
All payments are also handled in PSCD.
Does this answer your question?

  • PSCD - Grants Management with CRM

    HI all, I hope to get a reply to my questions regarding grants management in PSCD.
    We are currently processing all payment from PSCD. payment data is fed by the feeder mainframe system. All BP and CA are created based certain criteria from the mainframe system. Our company has decided to implement CRM and to utilise grants management functionality. My question is what are the things I should be looking in for example.
    1. creation of BP 2. creation of contract account etc. As already we have the config in place what are areas i should be lookin in for conflicts.
    Please advise.

  • What is the Best way to connect CRM Case Management with EP-KM?

    Hi Gurus,

    The Client needs Clasifications and Search of the documents in Case Management, the number of documents could be 1,000, 000 aprox...
    I thing are 2 options :

    2) The documents are stored in KM Repositories, and CRM access him. 
         -¿Is this posible?.
         -¿CRM can access the documents without problem?
         -How can store the documents to KM on line from CRM Case Management?
    What is the best solution?.
    Please Help.

    Hello quinstar,
    It sounds like you would like to use either your Personal HotSpot to AirPrint from your MacBook Pro or use an Airport to do so without internet access to the home. According to the following Featured Discussion you very well may be able to use AirPrint with Personal HotSpot:
    HT4356 Can I use personal hotspot as wifi to connect printer?
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4007254
    Also, the Airport products to not need an active internet connection to set up a home Wi-Fi connection so that is another option as well.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    thanks in advance.

    Hi Ciro,
    I agree with Michael, well that's from my experience.
    What you need to do in CRM download Customizing Object
    (tcode R3AC3) and download Business Object for
    MATERIAL (tcode R3AC1). To start download use R3AS.
    If you set the range of material you need to download
    into CRM (in Business Object MATERIAL), you don't need
    to run this steps everytime. It will happend automatically
    I am not saying that downloading product from R/3 without
    any problem. At first time, you will face that some
    object need to be downloaded properly before you can
    download Material (first download customizing object).
    And you need to prepare Org Model in CRM also in order
    to use these products in CRM transaction later.
    These are basic steps need to be done (once) before
    you can proceed to use it in any CRM document/transaction.
    Cheers,

  • Integration of SAP IS-U Two Contract Model with CRM 7.0 Contract Mgmt

    Hi,
    We have 2-Contract model for all customers in SAP IS-U for distribution and supply services. We are also planning to implement CRM 7.0 Contract management and integrate with SAP IS-U. There is a talk in the air that CRM 7.0 Contract Management does not work with 2-Contract model in IS-U because of some POD replication issues in CRM and heard that some clients are currently facing this issue. 
    Our client is operating in Deregulated environment and we were planning to use Two contract model to separate the services.
    Has anyone faced this issue in your projects or Is SAP working on this issue?
    Please let me know if there are any workarounds where we can still use 2-contract model and integrate with CRM 7.0? Any help or inputs that can you can provide will be very helpful to us.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sachin

    DearSachin,
    As per Design it's only possible to have one contract at the same time per PoD.
    If you in a deregulation market it's recommended you to use the IDE integration in CRM.
    Unfortunatly your desired business scenario can be achieved on project base only. There are several ideas how to provide the data and the information. One would be to download only the most used contract category into the CRM system (eiher grid usage or supply) and have the other contract only in IS-U (no replication). With a customer enhancement it would be possible do retrieve the whole supply sceanario within the IC webclient.
    Another idea would be to attach a new customer based field to the contract which indicates if the contract is a grid usage or supply contract and have the check for double contracts respect that data - this solution is quite tricky and should be considered only by very experienced consultants.
    Or use 1 installation with 1 contract for simple supply scenario. The schema contains a rate for both, distribution and default supply. The default supply can be switched with an installation fact. In CRM, there is 1 contract with 1 product. If a customer switches to a 3rd party supplier, an inbound message from the supplier creates a second installation with a supply contract and switches off the default supply rate. This installation/contract is not visible in CRM, it is not replicated to CRM.
    As you can see, there are some ideas how to solve your needs on project base, but unfortunatly SAP generally will not change the main architecture which allows several contracts per PoD.
    I hope this information is helpful for you.
    Regards

  • CRM 2007 with CRM Mobile Infrastructure

    We are building a Prototype (Non Production) CRM 2007 with CRM Mobile Infrastructure as an internal project.
    Question 1: I wanted to ask, as it is stated that Commstation cannot run on64 Bit Hardware/64 Bit OS hardware and it is not supported by SAP. I was checking the CRM Mobile Installation Guide
    https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002090432006E/
    and wanted to confirm if there is a possibility of us using one server instance to install the Mobile Repository Server, Mobile Development Workstation, Communication Station (CommStation) all
    in one box??
    Q2: Secondly, if we were only using mobile infrastructure for CRM scenarios Field Account and Contact Management, Field OpportunityManagement,
    and possibly Quotation Management (not the Order Management) will we still need to install a Workgroup Server/Workgroup Client??
    Is it also possible to install Mobile Repository Server, Mobile Development Workstation, Communication Station (CommStation) on the actual CRM 2007 server we currently have??
    Q3: Can we realize the CRM Mobile scenarios with just three servers?
    1 CRM 2007 Server (existing server already deployed with CRM 2007)
    1 SAP CRM Mobile Server
    1 CommStation Server
    Q4: Can we realize these CRM Mobile scenarios Field Account and Contact Management, Field OpportunityManagement, and possibly Quotation Management (not the Order Management), by simply installing Usage Type MI on our CRM 2007 (existing) Server?
    Thanks.
    James

    Hi James,
    It is possible to install Comm Station\Repository and MDW on the one machine.
    The repository server contains only the db and some tools
    But not recommended by SAP.
    The prerequisites are that the Development Workstation is installed on a separate machine from teh repository server.
    But as you can see in the installation guide, it is possible to install a local repository.
    However its recommended to have one central repository and have a dev workstation connect to it.
    If you have several developers accessing the same central machine, it would cause problems. Its recommended to have the MAS application
    installed on their local machine connecting to the repository.
    I would also keep the mobile scenario separate from CRM Online. As you have stated below, the 3 servers would be enough.
    You dont need to have the Workgroup for the CRM scenarios you have mentioned.

  • How do I save Icon templates with the Project files?

    My project files are stored in a folder, say, "My Documents\LabVIEW\My Project", and this folder, in turn, is saved under (Sub)Version Control.  I'd like to include a sub-folder called "Icon Templates" that could contain the icon templates I'm using in this project, but they seem to be "forced" into "My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Icon Templates" (almost the same, but the "owning folder" is different).
    Is there any way to change, preferably on a Project-by-Project basis, the default location for Icon Editor templates?  I tried to figure this out, and saw that one could change where "3rd Party" templates were stored, but that didn't seem to do anything (maybe because I don't understand the concept of a "3rd Party"?).
    An important (to me!) reason to accomplish this is that I want to commit my new icons when I commit the rest of the Project, and have them appear when I checkout the project on another machine (or do an update from the Repository).
    Suggestions welcomed ...
    Bob Schor

    Well, I thought of this as well.  I did change Default Data Documents (which seems to be where Icon Editor expects to find its Templates file) to My Documents\LabVIEW (instead of LabVIEW Data), and that worked (sort of).  But that still doesn't solve my problem.  I have multiple projects -- My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1, say, and My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 2, and want to have a specific set of icon templates for each stored, say, as Project 1\Icon Templates and Project 2\Icon Templates.
    My problem is two-fold.  First, there is a setting in Icon Editors, Tools, that seems to be designed to let you designate where your "special" templates are located, which I've set to, for example, My Docs\LabVIEW\Project 1\Icon Templates.  However, when using the Icon editor, these templates never appear!  It's as though it's still "locked" into the "3rd Party" sub-folder of the parent Icon Templates folder.  Second, even if this worked (which it doesn't), is there a way to "embed" this setting as part of Project so that the settings "stay with the Project" (and can thereby be customized)?  One important reason to do this is to simplify organizing Projects and folders on disk -- I keep them "together" (use the same structure for both, so a Project is contained, on disk, inside a single set of nested folders), which greatly simplifies and facilitates using Version Control to manage development.
    Thanks for the reference.  I didn't know about all of the symbolic names.  It does appear that they are only used in the VI Search Path entry, correct?

  • Best practice for developing with CRM 2013 (On Premises)

    Hello all.  I'm just starting to work with CRM, and I have some questions that hopefully will be simple for the seasoned developers.  It's mostly just some best practice or general how-to questions for the group.
    - When creating a new Visual Studio CRM Project I can connect to my CRM Instance and create new WebResources which deploy to the CRM instance just fine, but how can I pull all the existing items that are in the CRM Solution into the Visual Studio CRM project?
     Or do I need to export the solution to a ZIP, expand it with SolutionPackager.exe, then copy these into my Visual Studio project to get it into sync?
    - When multiple developers are working on changes is it best to keep everything in a Visual Studio project as I mentioned above, or is it better for everyone to have their own instance of CRM to code with so they can Export/Import solutions as needed then
    these solutions be manually merged before moving into a common Test/QA environment?
    - When modifying the submenu on a CRM form is it suggested to use Ribbon Workbench or is it better/easier to just export the solution, expand it with SolutionPackager.exe,  modify ribbondiff and anything else required for the change, package it
    back up, then reimport to CRM?  I've heard from some that Ribbon Workbench has some limitations, but being green I wasn't sure what those limitations might be or if it'd be best to just manually make these changes.  Or is thre any way to have a copy
    of ribbondiff in Visual Studio and deploy this without having to repackage the Solution and Import in the ZIP?
    I think that's it for now :)  Thanks for any advise or suggestions.  I really want to start learning the in's and out's of CRM and how all the pieces fit together.  Also can someone direct me to some documentation or books that might give
    more insight on developing for CRM 2013 or 2015 (moving to this soon)?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Sam
    Also interested in best practice around this area - especially recommended development routes, unit testing, continuous integration etc - it would be great if you posted here if you find any good articles etc. At the moment we tend to just push changes
    onto a live system as and when appropriate and I'd prefer to move away from that...
    Thanks

  • How to integrate BW with CRM?

    Dear All Experts,
    I need to integrate BW 7.0 with CRM 7.0. I have searched alot on forums regarding this. The more I search the more I got confused. some thread says that all CRM reporting is done from BW whereas some says standard crm reporting is done on crm side within Web UI Client.
    First of all, I want to activate standard CRM reports which are available on Web UI client and want to show them on the UI Client within CRM. My functional CRM consultant has done configuration on his part to enable those reports. But I have read that in order to view these reports on UI client BW side configuration and extraction is required (BW Adapter Metadata- I know these settings).
    On one document, I have read that data is extracted into Local BI client. So my questions are:
    1) Do I have to install BI client on the same machine where CRM is running or can we have separate BI machine connected to CRM system just like normal ECC extraction and after extraction I want to show those standard CRM reports on CRM web UI client for end users.
    2) Normally, when you install datasources from RSA5 and then install data targets with "before and after flow", datasources are automatically linked with data targets in workbench hierarchy. But in CRM case data sources are not linked. It is because transfer rules are not available for all CRM data sources. Therfore, no datasources are automatically linked with data targets in hierarchy in data warehousing workbench. I have to find out manually and link them with data targets by creating transfer rules. (transfer rules are not even given in standard CRM BC).
    3) Some of the datasources are not available and seen either in RSA5 or in RSOR tcode. It seems that these datasources are missing. How can I find those datasources?
    Your expert opinion and solution is required.
    Regards,
    Farrukh Hanif

    1) do NOT put them on the same server... trust me (you'll "lock" each other... hint: CRM jobs run at night... and so do BI loads)
    2) in BW 7.0 you should try to avoid transfer rules and other "old" elements
    3) there's another logic with regards to DataSources in CRM (as compared to ECC)... I can't recall the transaction(s) by heart though (and not on a CRM project right now - I believe this should be mentionned somewhere in course CR900)... you could always try to find them in table ROOSOURCE though

  • Using Import manager with XI

    Hi,
    I am working with Import manager without any connection with XI. So, I have created by myself a XML file and a its corresponding XSD file, and I have put the XSD file into the console using XML Schemas Table.
    Finally, I choose into the MDM Import manager the next options:
                         - Type: XML Schema.
                         - Client System: MDM.
                         - XML Schema: the XML Schema declared.
                         - File name: the XML file created.
    The import manager imports the XML file correctly. But, my question is:
    It's the same using XI? I mean, How works MDM Import manager using XI?
    For instance, If I want to work with a CRM client system:
                            1. XI works with CRM and tranforms its IDocs to XML.
                            2. XI puts its XML file into any folder (than doesn't correspond with the ports declared into the MDM Console).
                            3. Finally, XML takes the XML file in to that folder (exactly in the same way that I did before)
                            4. MDM Import manager then imports the XML file into the repository.
    Is that correct or the process is absolutely different using XI?
    Thanks in advance,
    Marta.

    Each time you create a <b>Port</b> in the MDM Console directories are created on the server to hold data being exported and imported via the Import Server and the Syndication Server.  If you log into your server you can find these directories in a heirarchy similar to this:
    /opt/MDM/Distributions/ServerName/Repository/
    So for example, a directory for one of your <b>Ports</b> may be:
    /opt/MDM/Distributions/MDM_ORA/Material/Inbound/ECC(clientsystem)/In_ECC(portname)/
    In that directory you will find several folders.  One of which is the <b>Ready</b> folder. That is where the import server looks to find files to import.  You can change the settings for the Import Server in its .ini file.  This file is probably located in either your /opt/MDM folder or /opt/MDM/bin depending on how the installation was set up.  There you can set how frequently you want the import server to check that port directory.  If you are on unix you start the import server by navigating to the /opt/MDM/bin directory and running the command:
    ./mdis
    Then check that it's running via command:
    ps -ef | grep mdis
    If you are on a Windows server you simply have to right click -> start the service in <b>Services</b> panel.  Also make sure to check the /Exceptions folder in the port directory (same location as the Ready folder), because if the import fails, a file will show up there and lock the port from further use until that file is removed from the Exceptions folder. 
    Good luck

  • How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

    How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
    I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
    I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

  • MSP Integration with Oracle Projects

    Hi Dina,
    Does the integration between MSP and Oracle Projects work without any issues in R 12.1.3? We've tried using it in the past with R 12.0.6 but have to say the experience was not good. It used to work at times and fail on other times. Most of the times the first time import from MSP to Oracle Project used to work but subsequent changes to the WBS used to give issues while trying to import into Oracle Projects (even though the link to the Oracle Project existed in MSP).
    One of our new customers (Construction Company) wants to create the WBS in MSP (Microsoft Project ver 2003 or 2007) and then import it into Oracle Projects to track progress, effort and cost. Any changes to the WBS (which happens frequently) will be done in MSP and imported back into Oracle Projects. Does the above mentioned requirement work consistently in R 12.1.3? Please let us know.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Sri

    The MSP integration requirements that you describe should work in the latest versions of 11i e.g. (FP.M RUP4) as well as R12.1.3.
    My experience is that providing all scheduling is done in MSP then the integration functionality works well.
    The recommended process flow for MSP integration is:-
    •     Oracle Projects: A project manager creates a project in Oracle Projects from a project template containing information for deliverables, work breakdown structures, and resource assignments
    •     MSP: The unscheduled resource and workplan data is downloaded to Microsoft Project for scheduling
    •     MSP: The project is scheduled in Microsoft Project based on task assignments, task dependencies, task constraints, and other attributes
    •     MSP: The scheduled workplan data is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publishing
    •     Oracle Projects: The project workplan is published in Oracle Projects
    •     Oracle Projects: After the workplan is published, the project is accessible to all team members working on the project. Team members work on their assignments and report their progress in Oracle Projects
    •     Oracle Projects: The team members' progress on the tasks is collected for updating the project plan
    •     Oracle Projects: The project plan is updated with the team members' progress
    •     MSP: The project is now unscheduled. The unscheduled project plan is downloaded to Microsoft Project for rescheduling
    •     MSP: The project plan is rescheduled in Microsoft Project and the task information is updated
    •     Oracle Projects: The rescheduled workplan is uploaded to Oracle Projects for publication

  • RSS feed generation with CRM data

    Hi folks,
    I got a question from my customer if RSS feed generation is possible with CRM data.
    He thinks about a scenario where for example an Intranet user can subscribe a RSS feed that provides information if certain CRM data changed, eg. a new BusinessPartner was created or a certain relationship to a BusiessPartner changed.
    Do you know if SAP (CRM) provides such RSS functionality (out-of-the-box)?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    Bjoern

    In CRM 7, every user can customize his own RSS feed.
    You can find the settings in the WEBUI under personalize -> Feed
    You can also find some additional customizing in the SPRO under
    ->Customer Relationship Management
    ->UI Framework
    ->UI Framework Definition
    ->Feeds

  • Membership management in CRM

    Dear all,
    Could someone outline how membership of a member organisation might be managed in CRM. 
    Creation / renewal of membership
    Maintaining member privileges with relation to the type of membership they have for the period of that membership.
    The only way I can think of is via a contract with a given validity period.
    thanks
    Tim

    Hi Tim
    My company has built a solution template for this. Generally spoken you are on the same way that we chose. You could also go using standard orders, partner product ranges or marketing attributes and generate membership invoices from there - it makes not such a big difference, but using a sales order / contract is the most 'standard' way.
