Hi Reg Assignment of Book of Business

Hi everyone,
i just wanted to know how to configure the workflow for making this condition satisfy:
Top Management grants access to a custom object to the sub-ordinate by adding into custom object team, i want the associated account, associated contacts also accessible to him apart from the custom object.
what i though i would pack account and related contact information in book of business and assign it to the sub-ordinate automatically when his name is added in custom-object team.
can any one help me out what would be:
trigger even:
condition to apply

uday

Uday,
I dont think this would be possible.
Is there a pre defined rule based on which the custom object access is given?

Can books of business be assinged to the revenue record?

We are trying to assign a book of business to a revenue record. It does not seem possible. Our products are split up by divisions and we want product managers to see the opportunity revenue records that are in their division.
Is this possible or does anyone have any suggestions?

A good strategy would be to create appropraite Analytics Reports. Most of the managers would anyway require summary data.
Subsequently you might want to provide drill down to these opportunities for whihc you might want to investigate assignment manager or assign the opportunities to multiple books of buisness.

Query-Automatic assignment of Record type to Book of Business-Pls help me

I have a query about Automatic assignment of record in Book of Business.
Using 5 record types & 50 regions as a part of Book of Business. You can say 50 sub-books.
I want to assign these 5 record type to particular Book when to create & modify.
Eg. When I create new account it should be automatically assigned to Book 1 & later I modify this account for reassignment to new user then it should be automatically added to the new user’s book.
I need to create workflow for this as Assign to book criteria for both when new record saved & when modified record saved.
I have tried this & its working; however problem is with the creation of two many workflows.
50 region (Books) x 5 record types * 2 - Create/modify flow = 500 workflows for one country!
If I am right then I can assign 1 record type with action as create or modify in 1 book only.
How to reduce these no. of workflows?
Pls help me out in this regard.

Mangesh

Mangesh,
I am sorry to tell you that there is no quick answer to this but i will say that maybe you need to rethink your book structure and their requirements here.
I have 4 types and 7 regions so you need to create books to allocate all these on create and also modify. Customers have raised concerns with this to Oracle and they are looking into it but they are along way from completing this. Sorry to spoil your day but i would strongly ask you to consider your books structure before you complete this.
Otherwise if you are using webservices you could assisgn the book when the record is piped into the CRM and then you only need to complete the modify workflows.

Books of business - supported via web services

Are books of business supported in R15 via web services interface? If we create a new Contact, Account or Opportunity, can we associate it to a specific book? I can't find any documentation on this subject.
If not, what's the point of using this functionality? We have over 13,000 different zip code ranges in our territory structure in Oracle 11i CRM, and would like to be able to maintain some sort of parallel structure in OnDemand via web services integration.
Are we stuck with creating Sales Team records for all object types? Seems very cumbersome to have to add a specific user to 100,000 different records, when we could simply assign them to a single book of business and accomplish the same thing.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, web services will not be supported for book of business in R15. However, I passing this information to our On Demand product marketing. Thanks for the feedback.

Leveraging Book of Business for Mail Merge

I'm looking for some advice from the community on how I can make use of the Book of Business for segmenting records for mail merges?
Bascially, I want to restrict my mail merge to contain only those contacts who are linked to a specific Book of Business. Problem is I'm not quite sure how best to achieve this!
Thanks in advance,
Cameron

Cameron,
I don't believe you can get a list of records attached to a book (wish you could), you'd need to create the list based upon your rules for assigning BOB's. For example with a company i setup BOB for we assigned the books by region. So where location = north then assign to North book. Your list would then be where location= north.
hope this helps.

Analytics Visibility - Books of Business and Direct Reports

We have a manager who has looks over two key accounts and also has a few employees who deal with smaller deals.
For the two major accounts, the opportunities are assigned Books of Business and each book rolls up to the same parent book.
When the manager runs a report, and picks the parent book at the 'Look In', will they see other opportunities that are owned by people who report to him/her, or will they just see opportunities that have the books of business on them.
In a perfect world, they would like to see the key account opportunities as well as the other opportunities for people who report to them.
Can this be done?

David,
I will email you a file that explains analytics visibility in R15.
The file is also available on Metalink for anyone else who needs the information... search for analytics visibility.

Books of Business for Country data segregation

I am trying to determine the best way to use books of business to segregate the data in the system. There will be multiple countries using the system but the requirement is that noone from one country can see data belonging to another unles special access is granted.
Has books of business been used in this way previously?
As I will need to allocate all records to books are there any examples of workflow that can assign all the records owned by a user to a book?
I need to create 2 book structures each with about 10 books, and assign the records of 150 users to these books - how long should this take me to setup?
Thanks

I would recommend taking the On Demand online training webinar on Book of Business. This will give you a good idea of how to setup your Book of Business structure.

How to display all the Records of all the "Books of Business" in Report ?

Hello,
I have a user with 3 "Books of Business" (No Sub Books).
I would like to generate a report with the data of the 3 books.
With the "selector", it seems that I can't choose the "All" option.
Can someone confirm the behavior ?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I do have a similar problem.
I have already tried to create a parent book (the checkbox "can contain data" is not activated), assign it to sub-books and add first my user as a book user (Admin role). However, when I start a simple report which should show e.g. Number of Contacts in a book an choose the parent book in the book selector I get an error message and there are no results ("The specified criteria didn't result in any data").
Did I miss any setup steps or is not possible to see all the records at once which belong to the sub-books with a parent book?
If I pick my user book, I see only the records I own. The problem is that our CEO needs a view there he could see records in sub-books separately but also the records in both of them at once. Unfortunately, the Manager Visibility can not be applied because we have a different hierarchy in the system as it is in real (otherwise wrong data in forecasts).
Many thanks in advance

Activity visbility control with authorized by book of business

Hi Folks,
My requirement is to show Completed or open activities which I am authorized to see under Account page, for thoes activities I am not able to see, I dont want to them to be shown there; Then what is the access control can make this work? the activities are authorized by Book of business; I tried to set related informaiton Appointment/Task as "inherit primary" but nothing was shown, if I changed to "View" lots of unauthorized activities are shown;
Thanks,
Zhou

Test it step by step:
1. The inherit primary setting is correct. If you don't see any records under Account, create a Task. Check whether you can see it.
2. Assign this task to a book that you have access to. Check again if you can see the Task
3. then check why the other activities are not seen... probably you don't own them or they are in a book where you are not a member, you you are not on the user list of the task.

Custom Reports using Book of Business

I was wondering if anyone can provide some help with book of business and custom reports. I have tried to created a custom report and changed the Book in the book selector at the top of the reports page, but it still returns results from all of the entries as opposed to just those associated with the book. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Yes BOB affects reporting, you need to setup your user record in a particular way, send me an email and i'll send you the doc that explains how. alex.neill@{see profile}
Stuart - I have your email address I'll send it through as soon as I find it.

Access profile in Book of Business

hi
Does Book's user access profile override the user's access profile.?
regards
sowm

Hi,
I have a question about Book administration.
I would like to assign different book administrators. I would like to create something like 3 main books (A, B & C) and have one administrator for each book. Each administrator can only modified his book and create and manage sub books of his main book.
For the book administrator role, i define that user can have access and can create books but can't read all records.
First, I assigned one book administrator user to book "A" so this user have access to book "A" and can add or edit other users.
This user can create a sub book with book "A" as parent book. But my issue is when I save the book creation, this user cannot assign users to this book and have no more access to delete or edit the sub book.
Do you have an idea of how it can be possible to create a record (book) and have no more access to it after saving?
Regards,

Assignment pfcg-role to user and assignment pfcg-role to business role

Hello, Gurus!
What is the difference between direct assignment pfcg-role to user and assignment pfcg-role to business role? What is the effect from assignment pfcg-role to business role?
As I see authrizations from pfcg-role assigned to business role have no effect to user...
Best regards,
Artuк Litvinov.

Artur,
The business role assignment does not give a user that PFCG role. Instead it is just a mapping table and does nothing more.
Therefore that UIU_COMP auth object must exist in the PFCG roles assigned to the user in order for them to use the webclient. In your scenario let's do the following:
You have pfcg roles:
RA
RB
You a have business role
B1
You have users:
Joe
Jack
Business Role B1 is assigned to role RA which contains UIU_COMP.
User Joe gets business role B1 and roles RB which does not have UIU_COMP. This will not let him use the webclient.
User Jack gets business role B1 and pfcg role RA. This will work because everything is there.
This means you need both the correct PFCG plus business role setup to make it work properly.
Take care,
Stephen

Books of Business with multiple divisions in same instance

We are going to be rolling out another division in our current instance of Siebel On Demand.
We want to make sure that each division can only see the records that belong to their division.
We are thinking about using the opportunity type field on the opportunity form to assign a book, but we're not sure what we can do with the account or contact forms. If possible, we do not want to create any custom fields on the forms.
Any suggestions?

David,
When you say you do no want to use Custom fields does this mean create new fields or use the indexed picklists?
For Accounts you could use Location - get each division to enter their division in the location field and use workflows to assign it, or there is a forum posting about have a default value created based upon a role which would mean that they don't need to add it themselves. you could also do something for contacts.
Good luck
alex

Reporting On Books of Business or any other ways to manage the books

I am trying to assign accounts to specific books when they are imported into OD using data from a custom field in the account record. Is there any way to do this?

I have created a book called "Test" when a new opportunity of Type "ABC" is created, I want the book to be assigned automatically. To do this this is what is did.
Create a New Workflow

Workflow Rule Condition [<OpportunityType>] = 'ABC'
Save this workflow
Go to the Action section and choose Menu Assign Book
Provide an Action Name: Assign to Test
Choose the book Test
Final step Apply to: Both
Save the record. Activate both Action and workflow
From here on any opportunity you create with type "ABC" will get assigned to book "Test"
