Identification field in installed Base-CRM Service

We are creating installed base components from ECC to CRM ie, from equipments in CS module to installed base objects in CRM.
The serial number entered in ECC flows in to CRM Service in component details tab in individual obejct automatically.
equipments created in IE01 will flow to CRM and can be viewed in ib53.
We want to copy the serial number field to identification field to enable better search capabilities.

  • Installed Base CRM Service

    Hello!
    I'm busy with the implementation of an Installed base with various attributes and set types. I have also set up an Object family which is connected to my created Ibase category and the settypes. I searched for information to get it visual in the screens when you create an Ibase and I found information about hierarchy maintenance and categories. Although I created my own hierarchy with category and I linked my settypes to it I cannot get it into process!
    Can someone tell me what to do for getting this working?!! Thanks!
    Kind regards, Femke Visser

  • Installed bases and service contracts

    Hi,
    Is it possible that:
    1. There are multiple installed bases from the same customer being covered in a SINGLE service contract document (i,e, referencing mulitple I-base objects) for the same type of service.
    Example : 100 installations for the same customer being covered for the 3 free services per year through a SINGLE contract document
    2. Is there a functionality where by all the installed bases for a given customer can be seen location wise under a single tree structure ?
    Thanks,
    Dhaval.

    Hi Dhaval,
    It is possible to do this.
    1. You could add all the objects under the object list assignment block in the contract item. So, here you specify that the service item is available as part of the contract for a set of objects.
    2. In this case, you could create the customer's installed base as the root and add all the installed bases under that customer in a hierarchy, while maintaining the Ibase master data. Else, you could search for Installed Base using the search criteria "Header Using Partner Data". But, this does not show a single tree structure.
    Hope this helps.

  • Conversion/Creating Contract from Install Base Information

    Hi All,
    My client has just completed Install base conversion from the legacy system
    (both history and active information).They have also completed sales order conversion for the open orders only from legacy system.They have done the customer conversion,item conversion as well from the legacy system.
    Now the customer wants to create program for running the Contract conversion from Install base.They want to take extract from install base and done some validation and call the contract api to create the contract.
    I am assigned this job,I need some information on this :-
    1. Is it possible to run a extract from install base and though contract api,create the contract (since the billing,invoicing,payment rule is missing).As per client,these values will be defaulted.Also price list information,they want to derive the price based on the item at the run time.
    2. If the first method of getting the extract from install base is considered,which all fields from install base are necessary to create the contracts.
    3.Further to ,if starting from the install base extract,what are the list of validation done before calling the contract api to create the contract headers,lines.
    4. Is it better idea to start the extract from legacy system and do the validation program and then call the contract api to create the contract.
    5. If the first method of getting the extract from legacy is considered,which all fields from install base are necessary to create the contracts.
    6.Further to ,if starting from the legacy extract,what are the list of validation done before calling the contract api to create the contract headers,lines.
    7.I am basically keen to know how this design will work.Any help,support will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Ajay,
    I would say to change the business process and adapt new practices in Oracle.I am not sure at what point of time they get the information about the "instance" in their field service system (Booking or Picking).
    When the order is booked we do not choose the serial number (if it is non serial it is even worse), only at the time of pick confirmation we do that if you have setup such serial number control in inventory for the item (unless you are selling airplanes or ships where you know which customer is getting what much in advance).
    If you are feeding them after pick confirmation when the instance information is known (not final yet!), you can institute a business process where unless FS gives the final go for ship confirmation cannot happen (notification based).
    It is not a good idea to update IB (There is no API Support for the instances that are in inventory) that is still in inventory.
    You can place an order line on hold order ship confirmation and before invoicing.
    Let the ship confirmtion update IB and FS (I am not sure why you call it Field Service when they want to touch the machine that is still in Inventory) can come update the instance again after they finish the work using debrief for the service request. There is no harm in that. Once they do this, you can identify the order line that is on hold and release it so that invoicing can happen.
    Ship Confirmation is a system transaction, and does not mean that the physially the product is out yet.!
    Thanks

  • How to extract CRM Install Base's serial # to BW?

    Hello Gurus,
       I'm working on CRM services area. Now the questions is I have a requirement to extract Install Base's equipment serial number to BW. In a service order I can get Component number. With that component number I can go to IB53 tcode and check the serial #. But my question is how can I extract that # to BW side.
    Is there any FM which return Serial#, Equipment location. etc when I pass component #?? So, that I can enhance with this field to service order header datasource.
    Or else are there any other ways to solve this?
    Thanks in adv
    RKR

    HI,
    I used this DataSource to get IBase detials. 0CRM_SRV_IBASE_TRAN. But this DataSource doesn't have any DSO. So, I created a custom DSO on this DataSource.
    This data source doesn't return equipment serial #, location, etc... To get those we need to enhaced the data source.
    Let me know if you have any questions regrding this...
    Thanks

  • Equipment hierarchy with Non serialized products to Installed base in CRM

    Hi,
    I have just performed an equipment download from R/3 to CRM. I now have these records created as individual objects assigned to an installed base.
    However my equipment record in R/3 has Serialized Products as well as non serialized products in form of BOM (bill of material).
    Example: Equipment Hierarchy (In R/3 )
        10123428  Main Equipment have 2 non serialized product                                                                               
    199-012100         (Non serialized product under this equipment)        
                    270-012200         (Non serialized product under this equipment)  
           10123429         Subordinate equipment to main equipment
                                  (Serialized  product )                                                                               
    340-070800  (Non serialized product under this 2nd equipment)       
                  270-562700  (Non serialized product under this 2 nd equipment)     
    The Main equipment(10123428) is created as installed base in CRM successfully.
         The Subordinate Serialized product (10123429) to main equipment is created as individual object under this Installed base of the Main equipment properly.
         But the non serialized products (199-012100,270-012200 ) for main equipment  and non serialized products (340-070800 ,270-562700)for the subordinate serialized product are not coming in CRM .
    Because When I go to IB53 transaction there is no entry in the components in the product Tab under product id column.
    Has anyone replicated R/3 equipment records with BOM structure into CRM and got their Non serialized products visible in the components of the Individual objects.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi Prabhakaran,
    You can filter the data downloaded from R/3 to CRM based on the filter criteria assigned to adapter objects. You can do this via transaction R3AC1 wherein you specify the table and fields based on which you want to filter out the data.
    For Serial Numbers and Equipments the business objects are SERIAL and EQUIPMENT respectively.
    Reward with points if this helps.

  • CRM 2007 - Installed Base - Sold to Party per Product

    Hi Gurus
    I'm working through Best Practice guide C13 Service Master Data.
    For the Installed Base I'm using, for each product I have on the system I must assign each Business Partner (Sold-to Party) to that product.
    For me this is a Maintenance nightmare, if I have 100 Products and 100 Customers I have 10,000 entries to make.
    Is there a simpler way of completing this?
    We are running a Standalone CRM System
    Many Thanks
    Panduranga

    Did you create IBase for the system from where you create message?
    If so, Did you mention Sold-to Party for that system IBase?
    If not, First create IBase for the system, then assign Sold-to Party for the system IBase.
    To do this use DSWP, Select the solution of the system and choose option "Initial Transfer to IBase" from menu.
    So that solman system will automatically generate IBase for that satellite system. No need to create IBase for the satellite system explicitly by using IB52.
    Once "Initial Transfer to IBase" is done, then go to IB52 and select the IBase of that system as well as client and assign the Sold-to Party by using menu "Go To"->"Partners". It important to assign the Sold-to Party for the working client. i.e. from which client of the satellite system the messages are created.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    If not, Go to SPRO and check the partner determination rule for Sold-to Party. It should be from IBase.

  • CRM Installed base Partner assignment main partner

    Hi,
    Sorry about the maybe stupid question but:
    We have on our installed bases component a field with partner assignment. In here we have preferred engineers there normaly should be only one on the installed base, but now we face that there are more then one preferred enigneer is there.
    then that shouldn't be a problem if the right preferred engineer has the main partner function. the system gets this from table: COM_DYNP_PARTNER_UI and the organization model.
    but it assigns the wrong preferred engineer as main partner.
    Anyone has an idea what I could do?
    Kind regards,
    Remon van Harmelen

    hi Vijay,
    Open the Business partner in Role Employee (Tx. - BP).
    Goto the Identification tab.
    Specify a Username for the user.

  • Serial number in CRM installed base

    How do I insert a serial number in a CRM installed base record?  We will not be downloading this information from ECC so it begins in CRM.  The serial number does not currently reside in SAP but is part of historical data.  Therefore, we need the ability to enter a number in the installed base record that did not previously come from ECC.
    Thanks!

    I have created the set types and attributes and assigned them to the material types FERT and HALB.  But, I am still not clear on where the attributes (serial number) are maintained.  There is only one field in the material master for a product and as we know, there are many serial numbers per product. Where are they maintained?
    I am trying to create an installed base record and record the serial number in the individual objects view.  The problem I have is that if I create 2 IB records and use the same object ID (material number), the system wants to delete it from the first IB record to insert it in the second record.  This is not what I need. 
    Questions:
    1) Is the Equipment record (from ECC) created as an individual object using the Product Maintenence functionality?  Each new piece of equipment is a new master data record created by COMMPR01?
    2) If it is not, how would the serial number that is unique to each install base (but not unique across a material number) be recorded? 
    Thanks!

  • How to track Service Item in Install Base

    Hi,
    How to track a Service Item in Install Base. If I'm right, when we define the item as Service Item in Inventory, Install Base Trackable cannot be enableed...
    Scenario:
    Customer is doing some services to its customer which has a contract for 1 Year. So we are creating service as Service Item in Inventory and then we create a contract for this service item.
    How do we track this in Install Base?
    Please help
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pavithara R.

    Hi,
    A service item by definition need not be tracked in IB. The service may be provided on a machine or asset which will be tracked in IB. Since service item is not a tangiable item, it is not IB trackable.
    Kindly explain the business scenario to track the service item in IB.

  • How to link Sales Order with Service Contract and then with Install Base?

    Hi Friends,
    1) I would like to know the integeration process from sales order to Service Contract and then with Install Base.
    2) I couldn't see anything enabled in Service Tab in Order Lines, its grayed out. Is there any set up/profile option to get it enabled?
    3) How can we create AR invoice from Service Contract?
    Please let me know if anyone has idea on this.
    Thanks in Adavance,
    Vara

    Dear Sid,
    Thanks for your promt response.
    Let me explain you what I did.
    1) I have booked a Bill Only sales order which has one order line, mentioned it as Service Item and provided the same details in Service Tab in Order lines. Now Line status is "Fulfilled"
    2) Then Submitted Workflow Back Ground Process for OM Order Lines and it has created an AR Invoice and closed the line
    3) And then submitted "Service Contracts Order Capture Integration Program" from SErvice Contracts Responsibility and it completed normal.
    4) Now I went in to Launch Contracts Window and queried with the sales order but couldn't see any contract created
    5) Then I went in to Reprocess Order Window and found this order shows an error message as "Referenced Product not present in the Installed Base", then I tried to reprocessed it, but the same error message again.
    Here I have few doubts:
    1) Are the AR invoice and Service Contract Billing Invoices same?
    2) In above scenario AR Invoice has been created, I would like to do the billing from SErvice Contracts and need to create an Invoice in AR? how can I do that?
    because as you explained in one of my questions earlier, A Single Invoice can be created for the whole duration of the contract. I want to do that and trying for the same.
    3) Regarding the above error message, how can I resolve it and create the service contract against that Order?
    Thank you so much for your helpful answers.
    Regards,
    Vara

  • Major/Minor Line Relationships in Oracle Service Contracts&Install Base.

    Hi,
    We have come across a scenario where, based on some business validations, Coverage of a Major Line needs to be TERMINATED.
    So, In that case if the Major Line has child lines(Minor) within, then do we need to 'EXPIRE' the 'COMPONENT-OFF' relationship between the Major and its Minor's, which helps in synchronising the data in Service Contracts and the Install Base for that Major Line.
    Any inputs would be of great help.
    Thanks,
    -Santosh.

    yes, please define major and minor terms here. are you referring to model (major) and component (minor) relationship?
    Also if you just remove component-of relationship, you will end up with orphans. is that ok from business perspective?

    Hi, Paul!
    In CR700 materials there is the next explanation: "Service-based revenue recognition (value/quantity contracts with a target quantity) means that the revenue is realized based on an event. Events are releases that are reflected as service orders or service confirmations. Once again, the billing document is posted to an accruals account first and the revenues are transferred to the revenue accounts in a second step."
