Service Desk Unable to set status to Customer Action and Proposed Solution

Hi Everyone,
We are unable to set a service desk issue to the status Customer Action or Proposed solution.
I have someone create a new issue in the bakend system and when I receive the issue I assign it to myself as the processor. When I try to set teh status to Customer action it is grayed out.
I have checked the following:
1. As a test I assigned My user with sap_all profile so does not appear to be authroisation related
2. The status profile has all six standard values (New, customer action, In Process, Sent to SAP, Proposed Solution, Confirmed).
3. The transaction types have been defined using the standard profiles for Text Det. Procedure, Partnet Determination Procedure, Status Profile. The Partner Function ORG is set to Sold-To-Party , The date profile is a SRV_SLA_ITEM and the Action profile is set to SLFN0001_ADVANCED. The Org Data Prof is set to a customer defined one: ZSSC000000001.
4. I have checked transaction ppoma_crm and the org structure and my user is assigned to a team lead position.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
please check your status profile for the "lowest status no." and "highest status no." values of the status values as Alex mentioned!
You can find this in SPRO under "SAP Solution Manager> Scenario-Specific Settings>Service Desk>Service Desk>Status Profile".
If the "high" value of the status "New" is lower than the status number of status "Customer Action" than you can not set the message from "New" to "Customer Action"!
Hope this helps,
Christoph

Service desk settings, automatic email status message change

Hi,
I'm working at Solution Manager 7.0 SP16. I've configured and working Service Desk scenario and it works. Now I'm trying configure automatic email at status change of messages, but It doesn't work
I'm following spro transaction, and SAP Note 691393. I am configuring Service Desk Specific Scenario Settings -> Automatic Email at status change.
I've checked:
- SCOT is correctly configured and working OK.
- Business partners emails are mantained.
I made the configuration suggested as described SAP Note 691303 SAP Tutor. Following SAP Tutor I go to transaction sppfcadm->select crm_order->botton "define action profile and actions"->Action Profile(left view) and SLFN0001_ADVANCED(right view)->mode change->new entry...   I follow the next slides at SAP Tutor.
At the end, when I check results, I go to the support message (transaction crm_dno_monitor) to edit-> Fast Entry->service process->status->In process and I press button save. So I go to Transaction data->Actions but any about the send mail action
Please could you help me??
Thanks and Regards
Raul Aguilar

Hi Mahantesh,
The settings that I've defined at the start condition are:
Transaction sppfcadm->select CRM_ORDER->button "Condition Configuration"->button technical names on->select action AI_SDK_STANDARD(double click)->change edit mode->right frame button create and select the new condition "Send an email to the author when status of message changes"->start condition tab->button edit condition->Name: Zsend_email->Condition definition:User status->Operators "="->constant "status profile"->SLFN0001 "Service Desk Status header"->Status E0002 "In process"->boton transfer condition->save button.

Unable to set status for subscreen

Dear Experts,
In my subscreen, I want to set the fct code for enter.
I am not able to set the status so that i can provide the fct code under the standard function keys.
In my subscreen I have a list of input screen fields, when i enter the first input field and press enter i want to move to the next field.
Please provide me an alternative so that i can set the status and write the relavant code using set/get cursors.
Thanks and Regards,
Kawish.

hi Kawish
You only need set a status for main screen at the output event. In this status, you need assign a function code to 'Function Keys'-> this first function button, it`s 'Enter'. you can debug to see it.
the PAI event of subscreen also will response this function code, then you can control your cursor in PBO, blow code is module of subscreen:
   module status_0101 output.
* SET PF-STATUS 'xxxxxxxx'.
* SET TITLEBAR 'xxx'.
   set cursor field 'LGORT'.
   if lv_flag eq 'X'.
   set cursor field 'WERKS'.
   endif.
endmodule.                 " STATUS_0101 OUTPUT
*&      Module USER_COMMAND_0101 INPUT
*       text
module user_command_0101 input.
   case sy-ucomm.
     when '&ENTER'.
       lv_flag = 'X'.
   endcase.
endmodule.                 " USER_COMMAND_0101 INPUT
hope can help you.

Service Desk Mail - Modify the subject -adding ticket number and descriptio

Hello,
I have activated the automatic sending of email when a new ticket arrives into the Service Desk. I am using the standard notifcation smartform However all the mails arrive in the inbox with the same subject, so no possibility of making a quick identification of the ticket.
I heard that is possible to add additional fields in the subject of the mail using some "&" parameters. However I do not have a clue where to modify and what type of & parameters are available. Is that I need to copy and modify the smart form somewhere??
I appreciate your inputs.
Regards
Esteban Hartzstein

Hi Esteban,
The subject line corresponds to the name of the smart form that you can maintain in the "description" field in the sap form builder. you can add dinamyc parameters to the subject by using the placeholder "&". e.g.: & | Action Required.
On se24, copy the class CL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER into the customer workspace (ZCL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER). then edit it and navigate to line 185 and change the following:
REPLACE '&' WITH ls_orderadm_h-object_id INTO ls_output_options- tdtitle.
Other example to use as subject:
Object ID + Priority + Description
Field description value: &1 | &2 | &3
On the class:
REPLACE '&1' WITH ls_orderadm_h-object_id INTO ls_output_options- tdtitle.
REPLACE '&2' WITH ls_activity_h-priority INTO ls_output_options- tdtitle.
REPLACE '&3' WITH ls_orderadm_h-description INTO ls_output_options- tdtitle.
More information on this on the book: SAP Solution Manager Service Desk - Functionality and Implementation
Hope I can help.

Unable to set columns under Layout Margins and Columns

On certain pages in my 40 page document, I am unable to set the number of columns by using Layout>Margins and Columns. The columns option is dimmed out. I have tried to set them on a blank page and pages where columns were previously set (I can see the guides). I am using a single Master for page numbering and it is applied to every page in the document. There are pages where I can set the columns. I've done some page comparison and can't find the setting that might control this. Using InDesign CS6 on Windows. Thank you.

Why are you not using multiple column text frames instead of 2 text frames with columns on the master page? This would give more flexiblity.

Setter method for custom action attributes

Set Status of processed action to successful

Hello experts!
I implemented a method call as an action when creating a new task.
Everything works fine, the e-mails are sent, but if I open "processed actions" at the item, it says that there were errors while processing the action, but everything went fine!
How can I manually set this status to "successful" in my coding?

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Service Desk - assign support team according to call status

Dear SolMan Service Desk experts,
We have copied the standard Service Desk transaction type to an own transaction type, and have adapted the transaction type and created a customer specific status profile.
Now we want to find out how it is possible to assign a "support team" depending on the status. This means e.g.
when the status is set from "In Process" to "Approved" a different support team "Basis" should be assigned automatically.
when the status is set from "Approved" to "Escalated" a different support team "EscalationMgrs" should be assigned automatically.
This is different to the usual and well know support team determination after call creation.
Q: Is this possible with the PPF and the actions provided in standard?
Q: What needs to be done to implement support team assignment by status?
Q: Is there a description available to achieve the desired result?
Unfortunately I did not find the needful in notes 616946 and 1512895, and also the PFAC rule 13200137 seems not to be helpful as the STATUS is not available in the Container, and as it seems once a support team is assigned the rule does not change the support team anymore. Is that correct?
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Ram,
here are the points to be done, when setting up the automatic support team determination in your Solution Manager system:
You will have to set up your organizational model by using the transaction PPOMA_CRM. Make sure before, that in table T77S0 the value for HRALX HRAC is set to "X", otherwise no Business Partners will be assigned in your org structure!
Then you will have to set up your finding rules by using the transaction PFAC, using the rule AC13200137. When ready, you can simulate rule checking if it is working. The determination is working by using the SAP component.
To the different message numbers taken, when creating a new message: Depending on the way, how the message is created (through the Help-function or using the ta NOTIF_CREATE, resp. CRMD_ORDER) the sequence of creating the two parts of the message (a message in your SolMan system consists of a Basis/ABA-message and a CRM-message) is different. If you create a message via Help, the Basis-message is created first and the number range of the Basis messages defines the number for your message. On the other hand, if you create your message by using NOTIF_CREATE, the CRM-part is getting set up first, so the number range (to be maintained with the ta CRMC_NR_RA_SERVICE) for the CRM messages defines the number for your message.
I hope this short explanation helps you,
regards

RNOTIFUPDATE01 - SAP Status not updated from Service Desk msgs

Hi Folks,
Already for some days we're facing the issue that SAP status of Solution Manager msgs that are sent to SAP is not updated in the SolMan itself.
So, if a msg is send to SAP, and SAP made an update and changed their status to 'Customer Action' or 'Solution Provided', the status in SolMan is still 'Sent to SAP'. Only at the marketplace we're able to see the real status.
The job RNOTIFUPDATE01 runs successfully every hour, no errors listed.
However when I run the job manually in SE38, i get a message like:
9999017765 012005041000000066052008 Read/Update Error
9999017765 012005041000000066052008 Locked, Entry in DNOD_UPDATE Successful
Searching for these errors in the notes, gave me some results, but unfortunately these corrections are already in our system.
Our patch level is SAPKA70015, SAPKB70015 and SAPKITL426.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that it is related to installation number, as some msgs are updated and other aren't.
Does any of you has an idea?
Thanks a lot for your help folks!
Roel

Hello Roel,
The update of the status in the Solution Manager service desk document (usually SLFN), to match the SAP one, is managed by the method AISDK_SP_CHECK_DNO. To configure this, do as follows:
- Execute transaction SPPFC, selecting the Application DNO_NOTIF
- Open the action profile SLFN0001_STANDARD_DNO (or the one you created as a copy)
- Open the action definition SLFN0001_STANDARD_DNO_CHECK (or the one you created as a copy)
- Under "Processing Types", check if the method AISDK_SP_CHECK_DNO is set (if not, set it as the method to be called)
- Check the method parameters:
USER_STATUS1 is the status that was set BEFORE SAP answers
USER_STATUS2 is the status that will be set WHEN SAP answers (this is the one you should modify)
Save everything and test.
Please let me know if this works for you.

How to make the SLA time stop when the status of SR is set to Customer Action?

Dear All,
When a Service Request is created, the agent take over this SR and then set the status to Customer Action. I know the CRM 7.03 has the ability to exclude the Cumtomer Action time out form the Response time of SLA. However, I don`t know how to set it up. Could somebody help to give me some information about this?
I noticed that in SLA, there is a Work duration(SRQ_WORK_DUR) and a Total Duration(SRQ_TOT_DUR), which Duration is used to affect the traffic light of SLA MPT time?
Thank you in advance.
BR,
Elvis

Hi,
in fact you can only trace duration of Customer Action status lifetime - this you can do by
SPRO -> ... -> Define Settings for Durations.
and SPRO -> ... -> Date Management to create this new duration and add to SR dates profile.
So then in Dates tab of Service Request you will have new duration called eg. Customer Action.
If you would like to additionally exclude it from Due Date, so you should then add this status lifetime to Due Date - then Due Date would be pushed to the future (eg. Customer Action status took 3 hours, so after changing status to other one you can write down this time to duration, and then add to Due Date).
For that you need to have a development - eg. using CRM BT Events, or in WebUI layer.

Service Desk Workcenter

Hi ,
We have setup service desk and want all the users to work on workcenters,created two test users
1.processor
2.enduser
Scenario: when a new msg is crated, the message is processed by processor and when he needs additinal info, he set sthe status in customer action, which triggers a mail to reported by(enduser)
Now,the end user will update the message and add an attachment, which is possible with std workcenters(SAP_SMWORK_BASIC,SAP_SMWORK_INCIDENT_MAN)
but enduser should also be able to see the edit button, because he need to set the message back in process and should not not see action buttion in workcenter(want to restrict him from performing actions)
any helpful inputs would be appreciated

Hi,
as I correctly understand your issue, you want to restrict the access to the particular action and you already acheived the status restriction.
>Yes i want to restrict the actions for enduser in workcenter(not one actio,n want to disable the action button for him , it
shud not appear when he click on edit) and status restriction i achived by creating authorization key
In this case, we followed te otherway round in my system, Like change the action definition "Schedule Automatically", this never show the action in tool box.
> i dont want "schedule automatically", becas it will not appear in action tool box for all users(but i need actions to appear for processor user ex: send to SAP shud)
since the enduser couldnt set the status as "In process", so te action for the inprocess status never triggered for them.
> did not understand what you mean here
It will trigger when the processor set the status.
> did not understand what u meant here
also i have another clarification, how can we manage the edit, expert mode...etc buttons and TABS like overview , attachments...etc. so that i can create workcener views for differnt types of users

Cannot "Complete" Service Desk Messages in External System

Hello Solution Manager Experts!
I have an issue where we had two Solution Manager Service Desks and needed to consolidate into one. As part of that exercise, we set up an external service desk relationship between the old service desk (call it SID OLD) and the new service desk (call it SID NEW). When sending the service desk messages from OLD to NEW via the action (Send to External Service Desk) we can only set the status to "Accepted", and the status "Completed" is grayed out for the service desk message that resides in the NEW system. In the NEW system, under the Transaction Details-->Transaction Analysis there an error indicating that the message can only be closed by the external system (OLD). However, in the OLD system, the original message is already set to "Complete", and I am no longer able to do anything with the original service desk message. Even if I make another copy of the message in the OLD system and resend the copy to the NEW system (as status "new"), I still cannot mark the service desk message "Complete". In the OLD system, even of this copy of the service desk message is something other then Complete, I cannot mark it complete and synchronize with the new system. I get an error in the old system that says that "The problem message is locked in external system SM_NEWCLNT030_SERVDESK", which is obviously a reference to the RFC destination for the new external service desk.
How can I go back into the NEW system and change the message to "Complete"? Additionally, even if I could close the message in OLD and synchronize with NEW, I am curious how I would get around this issue if the OLD Solution Manager service desk needed to be decommissioned, and was no longer available, this would still be an issue of closing out service desk messages to a status of "Complete". Is there some kind of program I can run agains certain service desk message numbers which will "break" that relationship with the OLD service desk so I can set those messages that originated in OLD to be "Complete" in NEW?
Any service desk messages that are created directly in NEW can be closed out to "Completed". This is an issue that is only a problem with messages that originated in OLD. I hope this makes sense.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I found a workaround by going into the status profile in the NEW system, double clicking on the CONF status, changed "To be distributed" to "allowed" and "set". Then I backed up one screen so I could see all my status's; and then in the last column of the CONF status in the column labled "Trans.", I set it to RELE instead of FINI.
This enables me to set the "completed" messages from my legacy (OLD) system to "completed" in my (NEW) system. Once I have all the status's set, I'll set the status profile entry for CONF back to the way it was.

Prblem Service Desk configuration in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi All,
Here I have done the configuration of Service Desk in Solution Manager 4.0 by using the document which I have for release 3.2. However I have face some problem in Step Initially create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C and Manually create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co .So I exclude above mention step. But still I am able to create the support message from Satellite Systems.
So can please let me know whether it will work fine in upcoming time or Do I need to test my Service Desk configuration for same.
Moreover please let me know how to test Service Desk configuration for real time environment.
Following are the step and problem which I face while doing the Service desk configuration.
STEP 1 #Initially Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase C
To be able to use the Service Desk and Change Request scenarios in SAP Solution Manager, you need to define the Installed Base (iBase). An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
The iBase components for the iBase structure SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation 1) can be created and assigned either automatically or manually. Note that these components and the assignments can only be created once automatically for every solution. To refresh your existing iBase data execute IMG activity Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Components.
Requirements:-
You have defined your system landscape in the Solution Manager System Landscapes(transaction SMSY).
Activities:-
1. In transaction SOLUTION_MANAGER, open a solution.
2. Choose Operations -> Service Desk.
3. Choose Edit -> Initial Data Transfer for iBase.
The data is copied automatically. The iBase systems for the solution are automatically assigned to SOL_MAN_DATA_REP (installation "1"). An iBase component is created for each system installation number (which can be displayed by choosing System -> Status).
For each solution repeat these steps.
Problem in STEP1 :- I am not able to check the System  Status.
STEP 2 #Manually Create and Assign the Satellite Systems as iBase Co
In this IMG activity, you define the Installed Base (iBase) manually, i.e. for refreshing existing iBases after solutions have been changed.
An iBase component has to be created for each satellite system from which Service Desk messages will be sent to the SAP Solution Manager system.
Activities:-
1. In transaction Change Installed Base (IB52), use the input help (F4) to find the Installed Base with external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP.
2. Continue as follows:
 If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP does not exist:
a) Call transaction Create Installed Base (IB51).
b) Choose iBase Category 01 (Installed Base).
c) Choose Enter.
d) Specify the iBase header data in the iBase section.
e) Specify the external ID SOL_MAN_DATA_REP and enter a short description.
 If SOL_MAN_DATA_REP exists:
a) Choose iBase No. 1 (SOL_MAN_DATA_REP).
b) Choose the SAP WEB AS component.
3. To assign the systems as iBase components, go to the Text item tab.
Three components are included in the standard package.
4. Add all the satellite systems as text items to the table:
o Column Short text: Description of the system
o Column Identification: System ID, space, installation number
5. Save.
After changes have been made to a solution, repeat these steps to update system landscape data for iBase.
Note:-
Every system is only listed once in the iBases. That means a system is not listed in an iBase if it has been listed in another iBase before.
Problem in STEP2:- Here I am not able to find Text item tab as per point 3 .
STEP 3 # Assign Business Partners to iBase Components
You need to assign business partners to the new iBase components.
Activities:-
1. In transaction Change iBase (IB52), choose Goto -> Partner
2. Assign business partners with the following functions to the new iBase component systems:
o Administrator
o Key User
o Sold-to Party
3. Save.
4. Repeat these steps for each iBase component.
Problem in step3 :- In IB52 t-code screen there no any menu path like goto  partner
Thanks a lot,
Harshal

Hi Harshall,
You have to enter the value as 1 in Installed base field and then press enter.
You will be taken inside and then you will be able to see the Goto - Partner screen.
Hope this will help.
Please reward points suitably.
Regards,
Naresh.
