Marketing Plans & Campaigns

I am a BW developer and have a project to work with CRM to build the Marketing Plans & Campaigns.  I have some experience with BPS, so I think I can work with this piece of it also.  However, the first problem I am having is when I go thru the following in CRM:
SPRO->Marketing Planning and Campaign Management->Key Figure Planning
The problem I have from this point is when trying to go into Planning Workbench or Define Key Figures. 
When I try Planning Workbench, I get an error "Access via NULL object reference not possible." 
When I try Define Key Figures, I get "You are not authorized to use Transaction UMK_MB"
When I do an SU53 for both of these, it shows all authorization checks were successful.  So I am thinking there may be a problem with the BW to CRM connection.  However, we have another CRM project that I am not having any problem with.
My next question is how does BPS play into the Marketing Campaigns?  I thought all the planning happens in CRM, so why can't I just pull the results into the BW InfoCube, instead of going thru BPS.
Any info about anything to do with this, would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Keith,
Please check the below link which will explain how BPS is integrated with CRM Marketing planning & Campaign Management.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/8e/6480ac5efb49f795efe5a50a1d3e07/frameset.htm
Also please check if you have made the below customizing in CRM for BI :
BI Update flag: Marketing --> Marketing Planning and Campaign Management --> System Landscape --> Activate BI Update.
RFC Connection to BI: RFC connection to the BI system in Customizing by choosing Marketing
-> Marketing Planning and Campaign Management --> System Landscape --> Define RFC Connection
Also please make sure that user assigned to the system is a dialog user and the user has the required planning authorizations.
For BPS planning Authorization please see the below link:

Hope these help !

  • Saving of Marketing Plan, Campaign and campaign element is slow

    Hi All,
    Saving of marketing plan, campaign and campaign element is taking lot of time. What could be the reason for this?

    Hi Nikhil,
    Use the transaction st05 to check the performance analysis.
    1. Goto the transaction st05.
    2. Activate the trace.
    3.Then do your operation which is hanging.
    4. Deactivate the trace.
    5. Display the trace.
    There you can find where the system spends most of the time.

  • Additional Date range in Marketing Plan/Campaign

    Hi All,
    I am working CRM 7.0 webui, i know in SPRO under Marketing we have option to define additional date range for marketing project, i have added the some date fields in Marketing Plan and Campaign but still i am not able to see the additional date range in Marketing Plan or Campaign in webui, please tell if there are any additional configuration needs to be done for this.
    Thanks,
    Dipesh.

    Hi Dipesh,
    For every additional date range you define, you will have to define a context objects of type CPGDateRange and relate it to campaign. SAP has already provided 5 such addtional context objects from Daterange1 to Daterange5. To get these on web ui, you will have to do UI customization and implement getter and setter methods of the attributes for star date and end date.
    Hope this information is helpful.

  • Marketing Org Determination in Campaigns/Marketing Plans

    Hi Friends,
    Can anyone please tell me how do we do automatic determination of Marketing Org Unit for Marketing Plans/Campaigns?
    Thanks alot in advance !!
    Kind Regards,
    Neeraj Sharma

    Hi,
    Marketing Org Unit determination on Marketing Plans/Campaigns depends upon user assignment in organisation stucture,
    you have to look at following things for automatic determination of Marketing Org Unit.
    1) In Organisation structure select your marketing Org and in Function tab select Marketing and tick in check box Marketing Organization
    2) Create Position under your marketing org as Marketing Manager and assign User which your using to create marketing plans/campaign.
    As in case of marketing system check the user org unit and it determine marketing org on the basis of user assigment.

  • 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

  • Mass change for existing Marketing Plan and campaign

    HI CRM Experts,
    Is there any way we can update all the Marketing Plan/Element/Campaign/Campaign Element with authorization group. At the moment we have all the Marketing Plan hierarchy uploaded in the system however authorization group got missed. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ashutosh

    Hello Ashutosh,
    Hope your issue has already solved.
    If not just a suggestion, write a small program fetching the projects from CGPL_PROJECT and loop it into table CRM_MKTPL_ATTR and update the field AUTH_GROUP with your auth group values.
    Ofcourse definetely all the Projects will not have same auth groups, so put your what ever logic into the your reports based on additional attributes.
    I am closing this thread since there is no update from past 6 months and hoping you issue was resolved.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Re: marketing plan and campaign element

    Hi Dipesh
    Iam facing somewhat similar issue.
    My requirement is that everytime i want to create a new number for the campaign element. We are using the BAdi CRM_MKTPL to generate the Marketing/Campaign Plan number. And using the Coding Mask to generate the campaign elements. But when we delete some campaign elements and create new ones, the system used the same Ids that are previously deleted. I want only new number to be generated, i do not want to use the deleted Ids.
    How to solve this issue? Please suggest me some solution.
    Thanks,
    Raju

    Hi Rajesh,
    This is happening b'cos the Marketing Projects (Plans, campaigns and elements) which u r trying to upload are with same name (External ID) which u have deleted, try either (Rename)change the name of u r marketing Projects while uploding in system.
    System error : The external ID is already used in the description of another marketing project. To avoid data inconsistencies in SAP BW, the external ID cannot be reused.

  • Tab Budget Allocation in Marketing Plan and Campaign

    Hi All,
    I have problem with tab budget allocation in marketing plan and campaign (t-code: CRM_MKTPL).
    Tab budget allocation is missing.
    my question is where we define tab budget allocation in SPRO?
    My system is CRM 5.0
    Thanks and Regards,
    Fariz

    Hi Fariz,
    On assigning one of the Plannig Profile group from the available drop down either in Marketing Plan or Campaign you should be getting additional tabs like Cost tab, Key Fig tab etc. In cost tab you can allocate the budget for Advertise, Promotion etc. As Gaurav had rightly pointed out this requires BPS integration. For any other cost planning requirement apart from the given standard key figures you would require to define them as key figures in BPS and put them in planning profiles.
    Following is the path where we can define Key Figures in spro
    IMG-->CRM > Marketing> Marketing Planning and Campaign management --> Key Figures Planning
    Hope this might help to start with Key Figure planning

  • Marketing plan Budgeting and Capturing actual costs of Campaigns

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to do
    - Budegeting for Marketing plans
    - Capturing the actual costs of the campaigns
    with SAP CRM Marketing which is not integrated with ECC.
    Please advise.
    With Regards
    Nadh

    HI Nadh,
    You can create the structure of your Marketing plan & the Planning profile in CRM.The Budgeting & cost planning would be captured in BI.So the answer to your question is No, you cannot do it in CRM alone.
    Please refer the below link from help.sap and check Marketing Planning and Budgeting
