Interaction Center Sales with ERP Sales Order

We are in the process of upgrading from CRM 4.0 sp 6 to CRM 2007.  We have been using the Web IC and Mobile sales for the last 4 years.  In our original CRM 4.0 implementation (which was developed by SAP) we were using the CRM Web IC to create orders with R/3 using a couple of BADI's.  We are currently using R/3 4.7 and have plans to upgrade to ECC 6.0 next year.  I was just rereading some of the documentation in the upgrade guide and came across the following line:
"The following software units are required for the Interaction Center Sales with ERP Sales Order scenario:
Mandatory:  IC WebClient with specific ERP Sales order viewset requires SAP ECC 6.0"
This implies that the standard Interaction Center Sales with ERP Sales Order functionality will not work in our current landscape and that it would only do so when we upgrade to ECC.  What options are open to us to get around this?  What is the technical reason why this functionality doesn't work with SAP R/3 4.7?
I can't imagine we are the first company to face this problem and I can't imagine everyone upgraded to ECC 6 - so what approaches have people taken to address this issue
Thanks in advance
Eddie

In the last 12 months we upgraded from 4.0 to 5.0 in CRM and went form 46C to ECC 6.0.
In your current landscape you can create orders in the ICWC where the order is created in CRM and replicates to R/3 4.7.     You have the replication scenarios X, Y, Z available to you.
Your other option is using the ICWC R/3 order screen where you basically are calling R/3 transaction VA01 and entering the order in the ICWC but the order entry in being done directly into R/3 via your ITS server.  Looks almost exactly like VA01 in the gui.  The menu bars are a little different. 
The ERP order looks like other ICWC screens,  is very sharp and users wouldn't know that they are entering the order directly in ECC.  We have been using it about 3 months.  More Pro's than Con's, if you have user exits in MV45AFZ* the ERP order still uses them  (but t-code isn't VA01 if you have condition If statements around t-codes).
Hope this helps,

  • One-time customer with ERP Sales Order

    Hello experts,
    I am working with ERP Sales Order on SAP CRM 7.0 Ehp3.
    We have a requirement to start using 'one-time customer' process. I know there is a standard account groupd (CPD) on ECC side for this purporse.
    We would like to enter a sales order for occasional customers, without saving the customer in the master data table.
    I would like to have an occasional customer (example nº 1000 which should work like a CPD). I need to enter a sales order for this customer nº 1000, and once I enter nº 1000 on the BP number field, it should bring a Pop-up in order to enter the customer's information (address).
    This is working when I create the order via VA01 on ECC side, but the pop-up is not shown when I try to create the order on CRM via erp sales order.
    Any suggestions on how to make one-time customer work on ERP sales order? And how to make the pop-up work?
    Thanks in advance!
    Luis

    Thanks a lot, Rene! I have just read this SAP note and confirmed your information.
    Do you know of any workaround or development that could be done for this scenario using ERP sales order?
    If not, I will suggest using transaction launcher and create this type of order for the one-time customer directly in VA01.
    Once again, thanks for replying!

  • Order Type Group - CRM 7.0 B2B Ecommerce with ERP Sales Order Scenario

    Hello Experts
    Scenario: CRM 7.0 with ERP Sales Order
    How can we use ORDER TYPE GROUP in CRM 7.0 B2B E-commerce with ERP sales order?
    With CRM as a back end this ORDER TYPE GROUP functionality is available as OOTB, but with ECC as a back end is this available?
    As per out understanding, we can use more than one TRANSACTION TYPE by seperating the TRANSACTION TYPES by COMMA in shopadmin? Is it a right understanding?
    Kindly let us know if we have ORDER TYPE GROUP functionality in CRM 7.0 B2B E-commerce with ERP sales order?
    Thanks and Regards
    DJ

    Hi DJ,
    In fact the Order Type Group is only available when you are connected to CRM Backend. For ERP Webshops, you only have the option to add the Order Types separated by coma.
    In addition, be aware that B2B only supports Sales Document with category "C - Sales Orders" on ERP backends, for example:Credit Memo Requests won't work. For more information, I created Note 1567713 that explain the restrictions.
    Kind Regards,

  • Maketing Plan & Campaign link with ERP Internal Orders

    Hello,
    I have a requriemnt where we need to do maketing  Planning & budgeting . We will create marketing plans & Campaings in SAP CRM but will store planning data in SAP ERP Internal Order due to some reason.
    My question is: is there any way to link Marketing Plan & campaigns from SAP CRM to SAP ERP Internal Order. We can not use SAP ERP PS (WBS) intergation due to project limitation.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sufi

    unfortunately, the standard function doesn't support use internal order with campaign
    so if you need to realize it ,I think you can build a customize field in campaign to fill the internal order, and store the link in your customize table.
    If any expense happen on your campaign, you need to create your FI document through some BAPI to FI, and fill the internal order this the BAPI.  I believe you need to develop this functionality, as the standard design doesn't include this

  • Material Description is not getting updated in IC-WebClient ERP Sales Order

    Hi Experts,
    The issue is with ERP Sales Order  in IC web client. 
    Scenerio:1
    While creating the Sales order,  If we  enter a product  in Line Item 10 , which is  mapped (Product Type)  in both the systems(CRM&ERP) . It will take the description for that product correctly. If  we enter  another product  in Line Item 20 , which is   not mapped (Product Type)  in CRM system (only available in R/3)  the description of the previous line Item product (Item 10)  inherited to Item 20 instead of taking the description of Item 20.
    Scenerio:2
    If  we enter  a product  in Line Item 10(as a first Item) , which is  not mapped (Product Type)  in CRM system (only available in R/3)  It will take the correct description for that product . And there is no problem for Second line Item, even though the Second line Item is not mapped (Product Type)  in CRM system (only available in R/3)
    Technically  speaking :The Product which is mapped in both the systems is entered as first line item , this product description is copied for all the line items below (i.e 20,30,40) which are not mapped in both the systems. As and when we entered a  mapped  product in line Item 50 , It is taking the correct description of Item 50
    Kindly advise.

    Hi Raja,
    This looks like a bug.
    sorry for not answering ur question.
    However, since you are using ERP sales order, i request you to look at my issue in the below thread and answer if you had similar issue.
    let me know if i can speak to you in person.

  • Product Proposal in ERP Sales Order.

    Hi Guys,
    We are panning to use product proposal (PP) in ERP sales order and we are facing some challenges to fetch Price and Availability in the PP view.
    Does anybody integrated PP with ERP sales order? Please provide detailed steps if any.
    Please share your experience and steps to integrate this scenario.
    To obtain price in PP, do we need to maintain pricing in CRM?
    For availability information in PP, do we need to connect to APO? or the gATP/Availability happens via ECC to APO?
    Please shed some light on this subject.
    Thanks
    Shree

    HI Shree,
    You dont have to maintain price in crm to get price in product proposals, pricing in ERP is enough for price to get populated.
    For availibilty check for PP you have to maintain MRP type in material master for the products which gets populated in PP and have to maintain ATP Profile at item level.
    One setting which needs to be maintained in crm is
    goto spro->CRM->Transactions->Settings for ERP Transactions Maintained via CRM->Product Proposals->Assign Method schema to ERP transaction Type.
    Here give the sales Org, Transaction Type and Method schema.
    Please let me know if you need more information on this.
    Best Regards,

  • GATP (APO) Check results in ERP Sales order.

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a requirement to get GATP results (Product Substitution) into ERP Sales order. Please note this is not CRM Sales Order we are dealing with. We are not able to populate product substitution into schedule line.
    According to SAP, GATP/ATP happens automatically unlike CRM sales order which has a "ATP check" button. Standard SAP functionality for ERP SLO doesn't have "ATP" button.
    My question is, when the automatic check happens in the background, will the ERP sales order populate the "product substitution" results ( assuming that product substitution is set up in APO) from APO into ERP SLO in the schedule line?
    Do we need to integrate APO with CRM for ERP sales order?
    For example if the order has requested quantity of 100 and only 60 is available, will APO-ATP/GATP (which happens automatically according to SAP in ERP SLO) populate rest of the 40 with product substitution into the schedule lines
    Please advice if any of you guys faced similar issue or have implemented ERP Sales order with GATP check.
    Thanks
    Shree

    Does anyone have an answer to this question. We have the same requirement regarding GATP with ERP Sales Orders in CRM.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with Cost center in PO and Work Order

    Dear Expert,
    I am facing an issue with respect to cost center in Purchase Order and Work Order. The PO is made against a work order. There are two cost center associated with the work order. One is updated under u201CAdditional datau201D field and other is at u201Clocationu201D . So the cost center in PO should essentially be the same one mentioned under u2018locationu2019 field of work order. So the issue here is that while creating PO, the cost center is picked from the u201Cadditional datau201D field of work order not from u2018locationu2019 field of WO.
    Is there any exit available that needs to be implemented for overriding the cost center in PO or any other way of solving this problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    Deba

    Hi,
    I guess that there is already some user exit or enhancement in place, since this doesn't sound like standard SAP (picking the cost data from additional data, or even having it there).

  • Interaction Center Mode functionality in B2C Web shop

    Hi,

    Hi,
    I have configured the call center mode functionality in spro (Customer Relationship Management -> Web Channel -> Basic Settings -> Activate Links from CRM WebClient UI to Web Channel Applications -> Start Web Shop in Interaction Center Mode) with the help of information given on help.sap.com.
    Now I can see B2C Web shop link on Web UI. The problem when I click on the link it's working if the URL in the backend is of google.com but not working for B2C Web shop. I think the problem is with the role assigned to the user.
    If anybody has any idea, please share.

  • ERP Sales Order with Profit Center value mandatory in ECC side!

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working with a scenario using SAP CRM 7.0 and ECC 6.0 EHP4, using ERP Sales Order and ERP Quotation.
    The sales order transaction type in ECC side is set up to use profit center at item level as mandatory and I can't find this attribute at Item Details in CRM Webclient. I can't save my order, because this error and the AB Incompletion Log always shows this error.
    Any ideas? Is it possible set profit center value in CRM?

  • ERP Sales Order : Performance issues with Product Proposal

    Hi
    we are working on CRM 2007 solution and are facing serious performance issues with the ERP Sales Order functionality provided in the ICWC of this version.
    In our development we are adding items in the ERP cart as soon as the user clicks on the 'New Sales Order' button of the sales order sreen. We get the items by very simple and optimized call to the ERP system and then add these entities in the Item Cart (Item collection ...in simple sense).
    For adding 10 items the application takes 10 seconds and this is too much for adding just 10 items.
    Can you please provide any Notes/alternative solution to resolve this issue.

  • Creating ERP Sales order with reference to CRM Service Order

    Hello all,
    I am trying to create an ERP Sales Order from CRM. If Icreate the Sales Order manually, it is working correctly but, if I try to create the ERP Sales Order as follow-up document for the CRM Service Order, it is not working.
    I have defined the Cross-system Copying of Transaction Types, byt the ERP sales order is not shown as possible follow.up doc from the CRM Service Order. Does anyone know if it is possible?
    Additionally, I would need to create CRM Sales Orders in reference to ERP Sales Order. Is there any way to do it??
    Thanks in advance and Regards,

    Hi Oliver,
    Rajendra answer is correct.
    The SAP Standard integration Scenario creates a ERP sales order for all the salesitems in the serviceorder.
    Without items no salesorder is created in standard.
    Maybe you could realize your requirement with own coding when you save a new service order or by button - click.
    I realized something similar some weeks ago. One hind:  It is helpfull to maintain a ztable where you store which CRM serviceorder is linked to which sales orders.
    Kind regards.

  • Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

    Hello,
    our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
    ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
    Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    AEV

    Dear AEV,
    I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
    Best regards

    There are some limitations using ERP sales orders (there is a decent OSS note that i don't recall the number)
    Do your ECC orders replicate back to CRM????
    IN IMG t-code CRMC_IC_AUI_MAINCAT for the inbox search yuo can set the search to be ERPORDER (means inbox will search in ECC for the document type)  where ONEORDER is searching CRM for the document.
