Service Order Form - Customer Service

Gurus,
Is it possible with IW3D to send the Service Order Form to the customer via e-mail automatically from SAP?
Thanks.
Marco

Hello,
We ha a similar requirement, but it was not through IW3D. It was done through the service order user statuses. We have developed a FM to trigger a mail to the customer when the user saves the document in a particualr user status.
It worked fine. If you want to use IW3D, then you need to chage the progam (shop paper) and include the mail triggering programs. Speak to your technical expert, he will guide you.

Tree structre on service order form

Tree structre on service order form
Hello...
Is it possible to build tree structure on newScale service order forms? Please advise If anyone has developed it on a newscale form in past.
Thanks,
Mihir

not sure what "tree structure" you are refering to
but if you are thinking of dynamically driven dropdowns, then yes you can do it in multiple number of ways
1. Load a large JS array object and go thru it
2. Same thing with XML
3. run ISF to query some DB tables with the data
4. Hard code multiple all the options in differnet fields and show/hide based on selection

One service order and multiple services ??????????

Hello All
I am working on CRM 5.0 service module
Can I create a service order with more than one service I mean one document but contains multiple services and assign each service to a person responsible? And how?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jacopo Françoise

You can create one service order with multiple service products,
the document will have both header and item level in both u need to assign the partner processing (emp responsible including) if there r different line items with different emp responsible u can satisfy ur issue.
abt theheader and item level some information:
understand what is transaction type? and the structure of the Transaction type.
The Transaction type determines the characteristics and attributes( what is the document category ,which Organizational data profile is allowed, which status profile is allowed, which action profile is allowed, which date profile is allowed, which Subject profile is allowed,which text determination profile is allowed, which partner determination profile is allowed and the number ranges for that particular transaction) of a particular transaction.
For example it says whethere the corresponding transaction is used for Lead, Opportunity or Sales order.
When it comes to Structure of a Transaction
it contains Header level data, Item level data and Schedule line data.
So Header level data is controlled by Transaction type.
Next comes Item level data The Item level data is controlled by Item category.
The Item category determines the characteristics and attributes of a line Item.
for example( it says whether the item is relevant for pricing or not, whether the item is relevant for billing or not, whether the item is relevant for shipping or not etc.)
The Item category will be determined automatically by the system at the run time depending upon the following key factors
Sales doc typeItem categoryHigher level Item+Item Usage
Hope this will help you in understanding Header level data and Item level data of a transaction.

Difference between service order quotation and service contract quotation

Hi,
Can any one differentiate service order quotation and service contract quotation??
appreciated with points
Regards,
Nagi Reddy

Service Order:
A service order is a short-term agreement between service provider and service recipient, in which one-time services are ordered by the service recipient and resource-related billing performed upon completion. Such an order could be, for example, to maintain or repair some equipment, making it necessary to send a technician along with spare parts. These services are usually billed.
Service Contracts:
Service contracts are outline agreements with business partners which define services offered for a particular period. You support service contracts by processing contract-based and planned services.
Service contracts represent long-term service agreements with customers in relation to the content and scope of services guaranteed within specific tolerance limits for certain parameters, for example, within a predefined timeframe.
I hope this helps

I am having an issue regarding a placed order via customer service department

I recently relocated to Anchorage Alaska as part of a permanent change of station per the United States Air Force. I was initially located on the East Coast in the lower 48 and at the time of activating my contract I had purchased two separate Iphone 4 devices. I also recently went in to a store in February to purchase a Nexus 7 as well.
Upon arrival in Anchorage I had multiple issues regarding the Iphone 4 devices including being unable to send and receive text messages & imessages, unable to make phone calls, dropped phone calls, unable to utilize GPS, as well as not being able to access general account information and use anything related to web browsing or data usage. It was determined that because the Iphone 4 operates on the 3g network and Verizon does not have a 3g network in Alaska, as a result I was utilizing an extended service network from another carrier. As a result of this I am only able to use my Iphone 4 devices while connected to my wi-fi network while within my home, which is totally unacceptable.
I was not made aware that I would be dealing with this when I moved to Alaska and inquired as the the use of the devices I currently owned prior to purchasing the tablet. I was assured by three separate store employees one of which being a manager that all devices would function at 100% efficiency including the Iphone 4s. In fact I was recently billed 350$ for roaming charges last month, which prompted me to speak with a representative via the online chat regarding the significant increase she said that she was unable to process any sort of credit to the account regardless of what I had been told at a local Verizon store where I purchased the tablet.
As a result of all of these mishaps since arriving here in Alaska I determined I was in need of newer devices that utilize the 4G LTE network currently provided by Verizon in Alaska. I know for a fact that the 4G LTE works great up here because my Nexus 7 tablet runs flawlessly and does not incur roaming charges when utilizing the 4G LTE network.
Yesterday I attempted to contact Verizon through the live chat feature regarding upgrading two of the devices on my account. The live chat representative immediately asked me when my upgrade date was. Upon telling her my upgrade date 9/29/2014 she told me I should contact the customer service department as I might be eligible for an early upgrade. I then proceeded to contact the customer service department using my Iphone 4.
My attempt to speak to anyone in the customer service department resulted in a merry-go-round of being put on hold 6 separate times by two different employees, both of which had me wait for more than an hour while they attempted to speak to a manager to gain approval for an early upgrade. The first rep seemed almost sure she would be able to have my devices upgraded early especially considering the issues I was having regarding service.
The second rep seemed newer and was very dodgy about my questions and was very unwilling to help at first. He even mentioned that I had been a Verizon customer for almost two years, had never missed a single payment and had outstanding account history which should have garnered some sort of importance to the level of my request. But I digress, during this time I was disconnected from the call twice from each separate representative.
Both reps assured me they would call me back, I never did get a call back from either one of those reps and I was becoming very frustrated having waited four hours trying to find some sort of solution to my current predicament.
After waiting an hour for the second representative to call back I grew impatient and contacted the customer service department, was put on hold again, and finally reached a third customer service representative who was able to provide a solution for me.
I explained everything I had been dealing with to Cory ID # V0PAC61, both regarding the phones, the issue of the level of service I was receiving, the dire need for working devices and the multiple times I had been disconnected. I explained to him as a result of these issues I was certainly considering switching to a different provider, a local provider even who could provide me the adequate service that I require for my mobile devices.
I explained to Cory that I had been with Verizon for almost two years, and I had been on a relatives account prior to owning my own Verizon account and had never received this kind of treatment when trying to work towards a simple solution. Cory proceeded to tell me he needed to put me on hold to see if there was anything that could be done regarding the upgrades of the device considering all of the trouble I had been dealing with.
After Cory reconnected with me in the phone call he was able to successfully reach a solution by allowing me to upgrade my devices. We conversed about the options available and I eventually decided to upgrade both Iphone 4 devices to Moto X devices as we determined those would be sufficient for my needs while in Alaska. I also proceeded to add two Otter Box Defender cases to the order so that the devices would have sufficient protection. Cory inquired as to whether or not I would like to purchase insurance for the phones as well and I opted for the $5.00 monthly insurance which including damage and water protection.
Cory explained to me the grand total for the devices which included an activation fee of $35.00 for each device, $49.99 for each Otter Box case, and an additional $50.00 for each device which would be refunded as a rebate upon receipt of the devices and activation, a rebate that I would be required to submit. Cory explained to me that the devices would most likely arrive Tuesday of 6/17 and no later than Wednesday 6/18.
Cory took my shipping information and told me everything was all set and the only thing left to do was to transfer me to the automated service so that I could accept the 2 year agreement for both devices. I thanked him very much, took his name and ID# so that I might leave positive feedback about his exemplary customer service and was then transferred to the automated service.
Once transferred to the automated service I was then prompted to enter both telephone numbers for the devices that would be upgraded, I was then required to accept the new 2 year agreement for both devices and after doing so I was required to end the call. I did so in an orderly fashion and expected a confirmation # to arrive in my email regarding the placed order.
I have never received a confirmation email. I decided to sleep on it and assumed a confirmation email would be sent sometime tomorrow. Nothing has since been received however. I woke up early this morning around 6AM Alaska time to speak to another live chat representative, Bryan, in the billing department who assured me the order was currently processing and verified the order #. I asked him whether or not it was typical for a customer to not receive a confirmation email for an order placed and he said it can sometimes take up to 2-3 business days. He then stated that he had taken note of the issues I was experiencing and told me he would transfer me to the sales department as they would be able to provide more information regarding the shipment of both devices and a confirmation email, as he stated he did not want me to have to wait any longer than necessary to receive said devices.
I was then transferred to Devon in the sales department via the live chat service where I was then required to repeat everything I had said to both Bryan and the other representatives I had spoken too. After a lengthy discussion and repeating everything I have just wrote he told me the order was indeed processing and that he would send a confirmation email in the next 30 minutes.
That was 2 hours ago. It is now 8am Alaska time and I still have not received a confirmation email regarding my order. I was sent an email by Verizon an hour ago stating I had a device to "discover". The email contained no information regarding the shipment of my device, the order confirmation number, or anything regarding my account. The email I received was a typical spam email asking an individual to check out the current available phones and sign up for a new contract.
All I want is a confirmation email to assure that the devices are being sent. I need my phone for work and to communicate with my family in the lower 48. I desperately need to make sure that the device is in fact being sent to the proper address, this is why a confirmation email of the order is so important. I do not care about the shipping speed I just want what I ask to be taken care of for a change. I would hate to sit here unable to determine what the status of my devices are only for the order to be stuck in "processing" limbo and be unable to receive the devices when I was told they would be sent.
I feel I have been given the run around treatment way more than is typically given with any company when an individual is trying to work towards a solution. I have been patient and cordial with everyone I have spoken with, I have not raised my voice or shown stress or anger towards the situation I have only tried my best to work towards a solution with anyone I have spoken too but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this situation.
Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. This situation has left a sour taste in my mouth and if the devices were indeed not actually processed in an order, or they were not shipped correctly, or in fact if the order had never existed at all it will only deter me from keeping my Verizon account active and affect my decision to switch to another provider.

Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

IW32 - Service Order Form

Hi guys I have a problem trx iw32 use a form to print a service order however the description order has only 40 character field CAUFVD-TEXT in "description " you can put a longer text but when you try to pass this to form only you can see the 40 chr . What can i do , How can I show a longer test.

Hi,
Maybe look at a standard print program such as RIPRJT00. The function READ_TEXT is used to read the long text for order header, operations, etc.
You might also get more help in the [Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)|Enterprise Asset Management (SAP EAM); forum.

Slow service and dre4adful customer service

I was enticed to the BT infinity service from an existing ADSL provider with the promise of additional speed. Not the full 20/10 but 17/2. I actually get 6.5/0.6 unfortunately after a catalogue of dreadful customer service and bad technical support I am faced with no other alternative than to open a case with the Ombudsman for communications.
My post is to warn others who get suckered into the promise of a faster connection from BT. The fact is that infinity is no better than ADSL unless you are next to the cabinet or exchange. Same scenario as ADSL. The bad thing is that although the 1st engineer correctly diagnosed the issue immediately after installation BT continued to send another 7 engineers to look into the issue. The tech buddies at the call centre have no idea on what to do other than send another engineer and assure me they are work hard to resolve my issues. The fact is that the call centre staff do not understand the complaint procedure nor can they escalate issues to get a resolution.
After nearly 2 months of being told to re-boot my router and many engineer visits the UK customer agent has finally conceded that the cable is too old to carry a reliable digital signal and that it is too costly for BT Open reach to replace it. Although I am paying for an infinity service I should accept that due to the inferior quality of the BT network I am getting as good as it gets.
I am sorry to say I do not accept that the old antiquated cables that provide the phone service are not up to the job and can be left in place as it is too expensive to replace. Surely every technology company expects to invest in delivering the service they offer their customers and asking me to accept an inferior service but still pay the full price is unacceptable. I do not live out in the sticks I live in a large town. My previous ADSL provider gave a better speed than infinity provides.
I was told by BT that it would not be recommended to take this case to the Ombudsman as it is unlikely I will get anywhere. My view is that if everyone took this stance then the Ombudsman would have no visibility of the poor service BT are providing and their inability to update their infrastructure to meet their obligations. Not only is the speed way too slow the customer service that BT provides is among the worst of any company I have dealt with. Given the size of BT I would have hoped for a better escalation system. Sadly there is no alternative to BT unless Virgin runs by your door as all providers have to utilise the antiquated BT network. They may have spent loads on Century 21 but they missed the final section of cable.
BT has agreed that they are unable to resolve my problem. I have requested a ‘Deadlock’ letter but apparently only special authorised people can issue these and none are available for a few days! So it appears that even when BT have admitted they are at the end of their trouble shooting they are still reluctant to issue the final letter to prove it and allow me to take the next step.
All of this is a sad state of affairs making me back away from BT for any services.

Absolutely accept they do not have to provide. However, once an offer has been made and accepted they should have an obligation to deliver on their commitment. If they had never offered me the service at the speed greater than the ADSL I would have stayed put. I do not see how BT can hide behind outdated infrastructure in the 21st century in a built up area and with consumers having NO choice as Virgin is the only competition.
Above this the biggest issue is the appalling customer service. If fact NO customer service. All they have is a tech help line staffed by people trained to speak nicely and ask you to switch off the router or wait for 48 hours for the new profile to take effect. All this given it was never going to work and they knew it. They do constantly call back at the rate of 3 times a day to enquire if the problem is solved tasking no notice of the request to call my mobile phone and harassing my wife at home who has no idea what they are talking about! At one stage she threatened to report them as a nuisance caller!
The problem was diagnosed on the first visit and if they had any tech staff with any knowledge they should have said from the start don’t waste hours talking to our tech buddies ‘cos it’s as good as it gets.
I do not think any of this is unreasonable as I’m just asking for what I am paying for no more or less and an efficient way to get the issue resolved.
I would like to add that eventually after constant complaining and even filling in the complaint form on the web site, that never recvd a reply, I was called by a very helpful lady named Emma who did agree immediately the issue was the aluminium cable that was unable to carry a digital signal. She contacted Open Reach and they performed more tests to absolutely confirm the cable was at fault and they would not replace it. She said there was nothing else that could be done and as GBP28.00 PCM was what I would pay for ADSL I should agree to keep what I had and just accept it.
BT need to understand that a digital service is where we are and if they want to be in the game they need to invest in delivering it or just accept that Virgin have it nailed and leave it all to them and the rest who might not want Virgin will just stick with a slow service.

How can I file compliant to Customer service or about Customer service?!!!

Dear Verizon Manager,
I am writing to you file a formal complaint about the Verizon customer service, and to request the refund regarding my Internet service of Verizon FIOS (Account No. 6703004253) for March 2013. This internet service was meant to be cancelled on 25 February 2013, but was not successful, due to errors by Verizon, until 14 March 2013.
I am a client of Verizon FIOS (Internet + TV) since January 2010. Due to the recent move of my family, I cancelled the service in my old place separately. I had successfully cancelled the TV service on 15 February 2013, prior to the move. And after I moved on 23 February 2013, I called on 25 February 2013 to cancel the remaining Internet service.
The associate on the phone told me that the Internet cancellation would be effective 26 February 2013, i.e.. the next day. He said I would be receiving a prepaid stamped box, and had to mail back the wireless router. A few hours after the call, I still did not receive any email confirmation, so I logged on my Verizon account and saw the service page showed “unable to retrieve your plan details” – therefore, I assumed that the cancellation was successful.
The said prepaid stamped box was also never received two weeks after the call – I had to come back to my old place several times to check.
On 14 March 2013, I noticed that my credit card has been charged $61.33 by Verizon in March. So I called Verizon at 1-800-837-4966 on 14 March 2013 at 18:01EST to seek clarification, and was informed by the general customer service that the cancellation was never recorded in the system or processed by anyone!! He said the cancellation would be back dated to 26 February 2013 and refund will be proceeded, and then transferred me to your “discontinue service department”.
From there, I was speaking to the associate named Brennan, who insisted that I never called on 25 February 2013, nor there was no records showing that the cancellation request was received, and therefore refused to back date the cancellation to 26 February 2013 – even I had my call phone record in front of me, which indicated that I called Verizon at 1-800-837-4966, on 25 Feb 2013 at 12:57 EST, for 8 minutes!
Brennan went ahead to cancel the service, but did not refund the charge in March, and simply saying that I only called and cancelled the service on 14 March 2013, therefore, no refund whatsoever.
There would be three reasons why my record did not show up: 1) I did not call on 25 Feb; 2) your associate did not put in the record after the call; and 3) your system failed. Basically, your associate Brennan was implying that I am a liar – I never called on 25 February 2013.
I find this insulting and unacceptable. I requested to speak to her supervisor / manager, and was refused and told that there was no supervisor or manager on duty. She said she will inform the supervisor to call me within 24 hours after this call.
I hope your company record customer service conversation, and you could find the record of my call on 25 February 2013 at 12:57 EST. I don’t know why the Associate I spoke with that day failed to cancel the service, or why you system failed, but again, I find it totally unacceptable that Verizon’s customer need to be punished for the company’s negligence. I also find it insulting that your associate, Brennan, make conclusion without proper investigation or evidence.
FYI – for the reason I stated above, I have disputed the charge of $61.33 with my Credit Card Company.
I and my family have been a loyal customer of Verizon, as we admire your customer service (in the past), and your job well done to drive away customers. Just after the move, we continued with Verizon FIOS and my husband ordered the internet and TV service immediately.
Now I have a second thought. I guess we should be using the company who appreciates our trust.
Look forward to hearing from you on the way forward.

Billing of service orders done by service provider in case of arrangement??

Hello Gurus
For the scenario of service arrangements using service providers, I saw the scenario on Sap Help:
|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/46/63d701c91e7187e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm_
For that scenario I want to know how the service providers get billed after the service order is completed. And to whom the customer bay for the service done??
Thanks in Advance
Jacopo Françoise

Hi All,
I tried using LSMW to create service orders, but I found out from SAP that batch Input is not a supported channel to load business data into the CRM system anymore! So can anyone suggest me a better way to mass create service orders?
I have tried using eCATT as well and this didn't work. I have created one service order (template) for each of the customers and whenever I need to edit these service orders (ex. with a new product), I want to be able to do this automatically by using the list of service order templates and the new product. Will a BDC work or can I use a BAPI to do this? Any suggestion/tips will be highly appreciated. I want to be able to copy the template to a new service order and then be able to add a new line item for the product, this should be repeated for all the service order templates.
Many Thanks,
Nanda

Date Error on the Service Order while using service product

Hi PM experts,
I am working on the scenario resource-related billing, using service product in the service order created from a service notification linked to a contract with service product as the line item. service product is the material of DIEN material type.
when i was trying to save the service order created using transaction code-IW31, i am getting the Error Message:
" *SYS:Date 00.00.0000 not expected*".
This error started only yesterday, and it was not there before. Basis team has confirmed that they have not done any new
updates to the system.
Had anyone encounered this problem before, if yes kindly let me know the solution and the steps to resolve it.
thanks for the help.
regards,
rajaraman

Hi,
Here is the error description with message number,
SYST: Date 00.00.0000 not expected.
Message no. FGV004
As an update to this thread, while searching for the reasons for the problem, i found that the characteristics used in the
warranty class were carrying default date value as 00.00.0000. can this be a reason for getting this error as the service
product number which is a DIEN material type is linked to the master warranty which is in turn assigned to the equipment.
Hope this information helps.
regards,
rajaraman

Order related customer service concerns

The year end holidays are rapidly approaching and there are a number of new members joining to share various experiences and stories related to their ordering process.
We have had record sales volumes and the phones are very busy right now - hold times may be long.
I would recommend calling 1-866-428-4465 between the hours of 11am and 1pm EST or after 4pm EST to minimize hold times.
Email and Fax are alternatives, but these communication channels are largely covered by some of the same sales support resources that are responding to phone calls, so response times on these secondary channels may be long as well.
If you have a delayed order - it will help keep the discussions organized if you will find and join your comments to one of the existing shipping discussion threads floated to the top of most of the product family boards. For example if you are waiting on a Y550 IdeaPad, you would join the shipping discussion on the Y and U series IdeaPad board.
If you have more general order related questions - Payment methods, split orders, cancellations or returns, you can append here to this discussion thread. Please keep in mind that this forum is a peer to peer support community - we are not staffed to provide individual service through this channel.
Thanks in advance for your consideration and cooperation,

Hi,
I am sorry I have to post here, but I simply seem to hit a roadblock to try to communicate with Lenovo through other channels.
I placed an order for the Ideapad Y550 offer on 12/3/2009, 3:54 p.m.
IdeaPad Y550
Packed with multimedia features.
Intel Core(TM) Duo T6600 processor
Genuine Windows (R) 7 Home Premium
15.6" Wide HD Display (1080p)
3GB memory & 250GB hard drive
Dolby(R) Home Theater (TM) w/ 2 speakers + subwoofer
(Note that I upgraded some components further)
It occurred to me that
a) the coupon code USPGIFTY550 for the extended Cyber Monday event was not applied for some reason and tried to contact customer care and [email protected] right away. (Some shopping cart glitch it seemed, it was displayed at one point and suddenly it seemed to be gone when ordering)
b) I also wanted to ensure that the product is as advertised because I notice that the order summary suddenly did NOT mention the FULL-HD 1080P display that was advertised in the web-ad, but there was no way to change the configuration, so I have to assume it is going to be 1080P.
Up until now (12/13/2009), it seems that the system is still advertised with FULL-HD (meaning 1080p) but the system configuration does NOT reflect that.
So I attached a screenshot of the ad also in my communciation with Lenovo.
For those problems, I tried to contact Lenovo at [email protected]:
at
12/03/2009, 7:55 p.m.
12/04/2009, 12:20 p.m.
12/08/2009, 6:58 p.m.
12/09/2009, 9:44 p.m.
And I tried to send a FAX to the mentioned Lenovo FAX number at 12/07/2009 - no response either.
I unfortunately do not have the luxury do have spare time during daytime to make phone calls and not even be connected to someone, I actually tried a few times which could get me into trouble for doing that when I have to do other work, but it was just a waste of time.
I also strongly prefer written communication since then you have an accountable record of what happened and what was said.
How can you go ahead and ship a system before rectifying those concerns?
I have no tolerance for companies simply ignoring customer communication, I do not take "high volume" or "oh, it was Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday" as much of an excuse. A company planning and doing a major promotion has to anticipate a major customer response and thus ramp up their capacity to deal with that. It is in their domain of responsibility. We are not talking about a mom&pop shop who is surprised to be featured at Oprah here and suddenly be overwhelmed.
The system is meant as a gift for immediate (elderly) family who live on another continent, who I do not see not often, so it better be exactly as advertised and the coupon better be applied.
I wish I could attach the picture of the advertisment at Lenovo.com here, but the web page still advertises a FULL-HD system, text says:
"Packed with multimedia features, DDR3 memory for fast processing, advanced graphics and a high-end Full HD 16:9 widescreen panel for a true cinematic experience. "
The advertisment has been online for a long time, it cannot be a mistake and I have confirmed that the system actually has been and is available in some places with FULL HD, so I am expecting my system to reflect that even though the information available online is confusing right now.
If my worries are true which is underlined by what seems to be refusal to communicate with me through email it feels like someone is delaying the communication which underlines that it is like bait&switch, advertising FULL-HD and shipping something else, cannot be an error when being advertised for weeks. This is not only illegal but depending on the severity of the case and legislation can even be a prosecutable offense.
I am extremely dissatisfied right now.
What is Lenovo going to do to make me happy again?
Issues/Concerns summarized: Coupon/Pricing; FULL HD (1080p) display and total non-responsiveness for 10 days.
I hope we do not have to go the route of more negative publicity and further escalation.

How to assign employee responsible of service order to customer follow up?

Hi everyone,
     when i create a customer follow up for a service contract, my partner number is assigned to employee responsible by default. However i want the employee responsible for the service contact to be copied to the follow up.I checked the partner determination procedure, which is properly configured.
     And i also want to know, why my partner number is getting assigned to the employee responsible.
     I checked the corresponding node getter method, where the collection wrapper contains my partner number for the partner function employee responsible.
     Please suggest some solutions.

I'm saying that you didn't search SCN because your first post shows this. You didn't give any details neither how your PDP is "properly configured". If it'd have been configured properly you would not get the issue, right?
Another thing is if you searched SCN on partner determination you would find FM CRM_PARTNER_DETERMINATION_OW. This the API which is triggered from BOL layer. And the result is transferred to BOL layer and available in "collection_wrapper".
Now you gave some more tips. For example, that the same PDP is used for other transaction types. That's better.
First of all, as Nagaraj Sarangamath said. Check if your employee responsible partner function in the PDP has an access sequence which takes the employee responsible from preceding document prior to the access which takes the current user. Which access sequence is maintained in your PDP for employee responsible? What steps does it have?
Another thing which is Sigrid Wieshofer mentioned is how is your assignment of partner functions to business transactions in IC set? What is in the mentioned IMG setting?
One more tip is if the copy control is activated for activities in your system and has been set up for other transaction types except your Custom follow up. In the copy control you can actually handle partner determination as well.
