Do i need to maintain the exception aggregation or not? And what other settings do i need to maintain inorder to calculate the number of customers.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
take a look at this document:
[How to Get the Document Count in a Query using Formula Variable with Processing Type Replacement Path|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/009819ab-c96e-2910-bbb2-c85f7bdec04a]
It describes how to implement a count for doc. number.
Additional take a look in Query Designer the options "Calculate Single Values As" -> "Counter for All Detailed Values" or "Counter for All Detailed Values That Are Not Zero, Null, or Error"
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/1f/25883ce5bd7b1de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Or "Calculate Results As" also with "Counter for All Detailed Values" or "Counter for All Detailed Values That Are Not Zero, Null, or Error"

Number of customers at one time?

Is there a limit to the number of customers shopping in a BC store at any one time? My client estimates a customer database of 70,000 and a genuine load of up to 7,000 individual customers at any one time. This will likely be maximum peak times only.

Do not worry about that side of things, BC will handle that.

Reassigning A Large Number of Customers To A New Collector

Hello,
We recently hired a new collector and want to reassign a large number of customers to this person. Is there a more efficient way to do this than case-by-case?

Hi, you should take a look at transactions:
UDM_BP_GRP - Change to Segment Data
UDM_BP_SPEC - Assignment of Collection Specialists
There you could assign a new specialist to the BPs or replace an existing specialist with the new one.
Best regards,

Telephone number suppliers/customers

Does anyone know the accurate field/table/view for the contact telephone number for your suppliers AND customers in EBS payabales/receiveables.
I ideally need a query to return
a) supplier name, ID, address fields, contact phone number
b) customer name, ID, address fields, contact phone number
If a could be limited down to only suppliers we have actually paid at some point - ignorning suppliers we have never paid
And similarly for b, limited down to customers who have paid us at some point - ignoring customers set up on the system who have never paid us
Any help most welcome.

For what OS and version you need the installer?
If you really need a telephone number, you can find them on http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/

Finding Accounts/Customers/Vendors based on Legacy Account Number

Hi Guru's,
Is there an easy way to get the SAP Account number based on account number provided from the legacy system?
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Ved

Hello Vedratna,
It is much easier to find the SAP account number based on account number provided by leagacy data but for this in the background you need to know the data structuring rule which was followed during the data transfer from legacy to SAP system.
The data to be transferred to the SAP system is prepared in a sequential file. A file may only contain data that can be processed with the same transfer program. This means that a file may not contain data for different master records, for example, customers and vendors, since there are separate transfer programs for these records. The program creates batch input sessions from this file.
For every file, there are three types of structures:
Session header record
This structure contains data that applies to a session that is to be created. Here you enter information such as a batch input session name, the client key, and a user name. By entering a lock date, you can set a latest date for the session to be processed by.
Header data
These structures contain data that applies to one transaction only. Here you specify the data that you must enter on the initial screen when manually selecting the transaction. Among other items, this includes the transaction code and key fields, for example, Account group, Company code key, Account number, Purchasing organization, or Division.
Subsequent data
These structures contain data from the master records. This includes, for example, the address data for your customers/vendors, the company code data, or the sales area data.
The different structures are indicated by record types. For subsequent data, you have to specify the structure name in addition to the record type.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

The other way could be to take a dump of customer master(general data) KNA1 in one excel file and also take the dump of legacy data. then use the Vlook up in excel. But for this to happen there must be some link between the two sets of the data like in search term u could have used the legacy number of customers or their leagcy name or any link.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

FBL5 FIAR - exception aggregation - count customers with open items at key

Hello gurus,
I have read the information about counting all values in reference to a characteristic. I manage to count how many customers have a FIAR open item 'billing status' = Open in my FIAR cube.
Now I am asked to replicate transaction FBL5 of R3. This transaction will give you open items at a given key date by adding
the items with
A) Item status = 'O' and posting date <= key date
and the items with
B) Item status = 'C' and posting date < =key date and clearing date > key date.
I calculate the net value by creating 2 restricted key figures and then adding them in a CKF.
But for counting I have a problem. I can count how many customer make up the open items (case A)
and how many customers makeup items that where cleared between key date and today.(case B).
But I cannot sum the two numbers as there might be customers that are counted in both cases.
For example I have 4 customers that correspond to case A : 1000 1011, 1012 and 1014
And I have 3 customers that correspond to case B 1000 , 1011 and 1013
I would like to get 5 as the number of customers that verify either case A or case B (or both).
Is there a way to do this with the exception 'aggregation 'and 'count all values' property of CKF ?
Claudio

Hi,
The logic given in the above post may be a bit confusing to you. Check out this explanation and try to understand what I mean.
Posting Date - PD
Key Date - KD
Clearing Date - CD
PD--KD--
CD
-O(Status)-C--O-----C
-5107-----8
Let me explain the above table.
Between PD & KD there are 5 count with status'O' and 10 counts with status 'C'.
Between KD & CD there are c counts with status 'O' & 8 counts with status 'C'.
This means 5 with status 'C' becomes 7 between KD & CD.
Similarly, 10 status with 'O' becomes 8.
The logic I am trying to say is..
If you don't want to get counts with status 'C'(repeated) as I understood) 7-5 = 2. Show this 2 as count for status 'C' between KD & CD.
So the table will become like this now.
PD--KD--
CD
-O(Status)-C--O-----C
-5102(7)---2(8).
In braces shown are the total with status 'O'/'C' for the dates.
I hope this will solve your problem.

Date wise Valid Customers

Hi Experts,
I have a customer master data object with move in date and move out date as attributes.
Now I want a report for number of customers valid for each day of a specified user entry date range.
Let say I have date in the object like below.
cid              move-in-date           move-out-date
1                   01 dec 2008           5 dec 2008
2                   03 dec 2008           7 dec 2008
Now in my report I need
Date              valid customers.
1st dec              1
2nd dec              1
3rd dec             2
4th dec              2
5th dec             2
6th dec             1
7th dec             1
So how can I achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I dont think it is possible in reports.
Try to create a extra field at infor provider itself and populate using abap code during loading itself.
Construct report taking this field into consideration.
Hope it helps,

Hi Apple - Surely with the internet being global you can let "customers" select the country they dsownload from. I was goung to use Itunes but having tried twice to get UK downloads in Spain have given up on Itunes. How many others have.

I would really like Apple to take notice of the number of "customers" who want to download in their own language, not the language of the country they are in.
My Laptop was bought in England and my internet is an English provider. My bank account is in England. I happen to live in Spain. So why can't I download from an English Itune Store. I have not had this problem wih any other free App or webb based account, and I have many.
I have seen lots of posts saying it can't be done but Apple please pleae tell me why.
Apple must be loosing out on thousands of customers and heaven knows how much revenue.
Come on everyone get all your friends who have the same problem to let Apple know.

You are NOT addressing Apple here at all.
We are all itunes users just like you.

Customers without sales areas

We are currently unable to save changes against certain business partners in transaction BP due to the error 'No authorization for displaying customers for sales area'.
This error appears to be raised because the customer associated to the business partner has no 'Sales Area' information.
Customers were probably created in this manner when we were setting up Business Partners with the Sponsor role for a Grants Management installation - for those Business Partners that could not be linked to an existing Customer, SAP automatically created a 'skeleton' customer record with the minimum of data and therefore no 'Sales Area'.
Now, I can get around the authorization error by creating the existing customer again in XD01, using the same customer number, but this time entering 'Sales Area' information. This 'new' customer is then picked up by BP and changes to the Business Partner Sponsor role can then saved.
However, I'm not sure what repercussions having two customer records - one with Sales Area data, one without - would have elsewhere. Is there a better solution? If not, is there a way to create these new records en masse (other than using a keystroke macro), given a large number of customers might have been set up without Sales Area data?

Vincent,
Check whether by extending (no need to create new Customer Master ) a single Customer Master you have some unexpeted events happening in system. if it is not affecting your business process anywhere then you can extend the list of Customer masters by running SCAT.
In case of any help let em know.

HP sweetens relationships with customers by making CRM social

Social Media is the fastest growing channel of customer service at HP. This is no surprise as more and more customers are seeking help on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites.
According to a Simply Measured 2014 report*, “Users are adopting Twitter as a legitimate and valid customer service channel. Mentions of dedicated customer service handles increased by44% year-over-year.”
While marketing may have created the Facebook page or Twitter handle to promote products, customers see it as an opportunity to get help. In customer service, we had two choices: put our head in the sand and hope the customer goes away or help them.
For example, Ethel lk promised to never buy HP products ever again.
We had the chance to see if we could turn her around.
We took the conversation offline and worked with her and earned her loyalty back.
Engaging with customers gives us an opportunity to build a relationship with them. In some cases their plea for help on Twitter may be the first direct interaction that many customers have with HP. After all, they may have bought their printer or PC from Costco or Best Buy and never have talked with an HP sales representative.
We need to make sure that the interaction they have with us on Twitter is the same experience as on Facebook or if they pick up the phone. Our relationship with them depends on our ability to provide a consistent support experience.
Right now we have 150 million products in warranty, get 28 million phone and chat interactions each year. Every second four customers look for help in social media in 180 countries around the world.
Each one of these interactions gives us the chance to earn their loyalty by building a relationship with us. To do that, we need to answer their questions quickly and effectively. If they come back 6 months later, they expect to have a similar experience regardless of how they contact us.
With so many customers depending on us, we rely on a Customer Relationship Management system to tie customers and products together; steer agents through an effective troubleshooting process; and track the entire support interaction. After all, the “R” in CRM is relationship, and it is critical in our ability to foster a good one with our customers.
While thousands of agents use this tool for phone and chat, our social media agents couldn’t use our CRM system. It couldn’t handle social media data -- or at least it couldn’t before 2014.
This means that our agents were tracking customers manually. If a customer came back a few months later, the agent needed to turn into a detective to figure out who the customer was what the product was and understand what had transpired.
Something had to change as the volume of customers contacting us in Twitter and Facebook increased hitting more than 25,000 incoming tweets or comments a month.
To handle the increased volume and improve our relationship with our customers, we made significant investments to integrate social media into our Customer Relationship Management system.
HP is quite possibly the first company to be able to take social media content from Twitter and Facebook in different languages and turn them into cases worked on by social media agents in different countries around the world. Right now we are averaging 10,000 cases a month in Twitter and Facebook in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German.
By having an integrated CRM system with all support channels, we get a 360 degree view of customer’s support interactions. This improvement helps three key groups.
Customers: Today, customers choosing Facebook or Twitter have a seamless support experience. HP Support saw a 2 percent increase in Net Promoter Score since the integration with the CRM system went live. Because of the efficiencies gained in the tool, agents reply to customers more quickly. We were able to cut response times by 60 percent, shaving hours off of the time it took an agent to find and reply to the customer. Decreasing response times was challenging because more customers were tweeting and posting than ever before. Since September, we have seen a 103 percent increase in the number of customers reaching out to us for help in Twitter and Facebook. Because of the integration with our CRM system, we are able to reply to more customers more quickly and increase their satisfaction with HP.
Agents: Today agents have a comprehensive view of the customer at their fingertips. The entire online conversation in Facebook or Twitter is threaded together along with any past history. It is easier for agents to see where to take the conversation and how to help the customer. This makes for much happier agents and as a result happier customers. Agent dissatisfaction has turned into satisfaction as a result of an improved tool. Their engagement with customers has increased 187 percent, as measured by the increase in the number of tweets and posts agents made.
HP: HP has the ability to track whether customers are promoters or detractors, and capture the change in sentiment through the support experience. It also has the ability to mine the data for insights and to gain a deeper understanding of global social care metrics. This will enrich the data fed into the teams supervising quality and enable HP to deliver better products. Also, it will help the company identify issues quickly. Early detection of issue through social media has saved the company millions and is now easier to do.
While the results are impressive, building something that has never existed before isn’t easy.
The biggest challenge was that CRM systems are built with fields requiring serial numbers and real names. How do you create a case when MagicPuppy123 tweets, “Please help me @HP!” There is no name, no product, no description of an issue – none of the information that a phone agent would be able to get. Also, how do you figure out that MagicPuppy123 also made a post on the HP Facebook wall asking for help but this time her handle is Tara Jane Willis.
Should this be a case? Is it possible to relate the tweet and post? What is the priority level? Who is the right agent and what is the right country to route this to?
Step by step we went through the various scenarios we have encountered since we began supporting customers in Twitter in 2009 and Facebook in 2010.
We created processes and business rules to filter and route posts to agents with right skill set. Also, we outlined how relevant tweets or posts from a customer had to be threaded together to give the agent a complete account of the conversation to date, even if the customer went on vacation for 3 weeks and just came back. Customers expect to be remembered and bristle at repeating themselves.
When you are building something new, you won’t fully understand the limitations until it is built. There will be features that don’t work as planned that need to be recreated. Also, you learn to identify and build strong relationships with key players: IT, partners, service delivery, analytics, consultants, and agents.
Moving into 2015, HP is working to bring more social media sites into its CRM environment. The integration makes it possible to have blended channel agents: phone, chat, and social media. As social media grows, we can improve trained agents effectiveness by expanding from phone into online communities and social networking sites as the volume shifts over a day or month.
As Forrester noted**, “In the past 12 months, 68% of customers used the phone, 60% used help or frequently asked questions (FAQs), 54% used email, 37% used chat, 20% used SMS, and 19% used Twitter. Customer service agents supporting these media types need access to the same information in order to ensure consistent service.”
Getting all agents on the same CRM environment for all support channels globally is the challenge HP tackled in 2014 and continues to innovate and enhance the support experience for customers.

Find Free Number Ranges of Customer and Vendor Accounts

Hi,
We have a requirement where we want to report to customer the free numbers present in customer and Vendor Accounts Groups.
To solve this, I went through XKN1 and XDN1, where I go the current number for each Vendor and Customer Account Group.
But the customer is having a strange requirement. They want to know, the free numbers available in these customer range.
Please see the attached doc for the requirement and the solution which has been given.
Please let me know, how to find the free numbers available in SAP system.
Regards,
Devdatth

Hello Devdath,
You can go to table KNA1. In the selection criteria, give the number range for each Account group and click on Number of entries.
This will give you the number of customers created for that account group. SUbtract this number from the total number to get the Balance.
Note: This is for the number ranges which are externally defined.
For internally defined number ranges, you can simply go to XDN1 and get the balance.
Similarly for Vendors, use table LFA1
I hope this is what you needed.

PO number not appearing in Purchasing Document number

Hi
I have posted a MIRO. PO number: 4500000013. Now when i see in FBL1N & vendor open items, PO number does not appear in Purchasing Document field. Let me know how to bring the PO number.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on Oct 8, 2009 11:50 AM

Hi,
The display of the purchasing document number for customers/vendors via the line item display is not possible. However, you can branch from the vendors/customers line item display into the document overview and there display the purchasing document number for the individual G/L account line items.

To make the Billing document header updated with the new VAT number.

Hi Experts
Due the business requirement we change the VAT number of customers for the European countries.
And now how can we ensure that the Billing document header gets updated with the new VAT Reg.Number for the existing Billing documents.
The intention is to ensure that when we Print an already existing invoice,the new changed VAT number should appear in the invoice output.
Please suggest.
Montee

Hi,
   Have these documents been released to accounting? If yes then you have top canecl all the documents to update the billing documents and repost them with the new vat number. I think you might know how VAT gets determined in SAP. If not please go to SPRO-IMG-SD-BF-TAXES-MAINTAIN SALES TAX IDENTIFICATION UMBER DETERMINATION.
1. If the payer has a VAT ID number and RG <> AG, then the tax number
      and tax classification are copied from the payer (in this case, the
      ship-to party is not relevant).
      The tax number is taken according to the 'tax country of
      destination'.
2. If 1. does not apply:
      If the ship-to party has a VAT registration number and the sold-to
      party does not, tax number and tax classification are copied from
      the ship-to party.
3. If 2. does not apply:
      Tax number and tax classification are copied from the sold-to party.
If you enter A, tax number and tax classification are generally copied
from the sold-to party.
The tax number is copied according to the 'country of destination
relevant for taxes'.
If you enter B, tax number and tax classification are generally copied
from the payer.
The tax number is copied according to the 'country of destination
relevant for taxes'.
Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

Credit management of customers

Hi Experts,
we have scenario in our company, that some of our customers are linked, like they often give favor to each other regarding their down payments. For example, if custoemr A has down payment, he can give favor to customer B (for which there is no down payment), so we send goods to customer B against advance of customer A.
Please guide me, how can we cater this scenario in SAP?
Best Regards.

Dear Friend,
You can set a Single Credit LImit for a particular number of Customers.
E.g.
Customer A, B & C have single credit limit of Rs. 1,00,000.
The solution for the above is explain in my earlier post:

Partner functions (R/3- CRM) based on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) or CP

Hi all gurus,
I am trying to replicate an partner-function base on personnel number/employee number for customers from R/3 to CRM.
For those partner-functions only the employee number is filled in KNVP-PERNR (the KNVP-KUNN2, KNVP-LIFNR and KNVP-PARNR are empty).
If I follow the replication process I don't see the employee number getting mapped to the "bapimtcs structure" (in function module COM_BUPA_MWX_CREATE_REL) and therefore those partnerfunctions are not replicated to CRM.
(all employees are entered in HR-R/3 and downloaded to CRM as business partners)
Basically this is exatly the same situation described in the following forum:
[Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) |Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR)]
What (function modules/configuration) is necessary to get those partner-functions being replicated to CRM?
Unfortunately I was pretty unable to collect valid solution track.
Thanks in advance,
AndreA

Hi Andrea,
We were able to solve the exact same issue.
Here are steps used by us to fix the issue :
IMG Settings in CRM :
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer>Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM>
Partner Function = VE
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014) ( can be any other partner function which is a employee)
Usage= CRM
Also make sure the following settings are also done
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer-->Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014)
Partner Function Cat = Employee
Scenario = CRM
R/3 func = VE ( even though you are using the PE partner function in ECCwe use VE here as you know VE is the german version of PE)
Type = MR master record
Also make sure that SAP Notes 1020514 and 1099363 have been applied in ECC.
Let me know if you have any issues. This should fix it.
Thanks
