Target group for contacts

Hi Folks,
I need help with a segmentation based on 'Relationships' requirement. In our system a Contact Person is assigned to a 'Partner' where 'Partner' is an Employee in the system (has a BUR011 relationship with the Contact). Also, the Relationship record (between the Contact and Employee in BUT050) will have some addition custom fields which define other attributes of the 'relationship'. As an example let assume the custom field is XYZ and the possible values are A, B, C for this field.
The requirement is to create a Target Group of all Contact Persons where the Partner 'Region' = IL and relationship custom field XYZ = A. From the list of Business Partners I can drill down to the list of Contact Persons, but I'm having trouble filtering the list of Contacts further based on the details of the Employee (Region & Custom field XYZ). Any thoughts on how this can be done with a custom infoset and if the solution approach will change based on whether we do classic Vs high-volume segmentation?
Thanks!
Siddharth

Hi Siddharth,
please refer to the online help of how to perform the segmentation based on relationships:
Segmentation Based on Relationships - Segmentation - SAP Library
The best way to fulfill your requirement is to first create a segment of the employees using the filter criteria mentioned. Then you may use the follow up function 'convert organizations to contact persons':
I hope this also works in your employee - contact scenario.
best regards,
Johannes

  • Help needed to generate new target group for contacts from BP Target Group

    In CRM 5.0, we have a functionality in which say we have created a target group (T1) for 10 BPu2019s (organization) and each of these BPu2019s have one or more contact persons associated to them. Now if I want to create a target group for all these contact persons associated to the 10 BPu2019s, in CRM 5.0 I have the option to right click on the target group (T1) and then I get an option u201C generate new target group from contactsu201D. By doing so another target group for all the contacts associated to those BPu2019s will be generated. I am not able to find out the similar option in CRM 2007 (web UI) where in I can create target group for contacts associated to BPu2019s (organization). There should be some work around for this requirement.
    Please let me know how to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks,
    udaya

    Hi udaya,
    we're also using that functionality in CRM 5.0. I think it would be worth a combined OSS message to get this functionality back in standard if it isn't there.

  • Create target group for contacts does not work

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on a Markting solution for a University with CRM 5.0.
    We need to contact certain Teachers in Schools (they have an orientation function for pupils that might study in the University in the future).
    I can segment for schools in Segmentbuilder. Now, I need to generate "new target group from contact". In my case the contact person of the school is the Teacher (function type is contact person). This does not work.
    Am I missing some parametrization, or is there a relation to sales area (wich we do not have).
    Hoping for your help. I will regard points generously.
    cristina

    Hi Cristina,
    I understand Schools are crated as Org and Teacher as Persons. There exist a Relationship between these similar to Contact Person (BUR001).
    Now, Follow the process
    1) Create a Data Source in CRMD_MKTDS.
    2) Assign an Infoset Query, as per your scenario.
    3) Assign Function Module "CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP" to data source
    4) Save, and then create an Attribute List.
    Go to Segment Builder and create target group based on above Attribute List.
    You'll get a list of all the contact persons. For your case, Teachers.
    Hope this helps......
    Regards,
    Vikas
    PS: This will only work if Schools - Org, Teacher = Person and Relationship = BUR001. If you have other criterias please copy Function Module "CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP" and edit it as per your business case. Then assign this FM in Data Source.

  • Target Group for different Relationships

    Hi All,
    I would like to create the target group consisting of Buisness Partners(Level 2) having specific relationship with Identified Business Partners(Level 1).
    How should I acheive this?
    Do I need to create the target group for Business Partners(Level 1) and treat it as master group for creating target group for Business Partners(Level 2).
    Afterwords filters needs to be applied on the Buisness Partners(Level 2).
    Regards,
    Piyush

    I think help file is pretty clear. SAP provides one example with CP but they expect you to follow up the following (there is some programming involved):
    You have defined data sources that are capable of providing the business partner relationship information. In the case of InfoSets, this means that the InfoSet itself contains all the fields required to provide the partner function information.
    You need a conversion function for the data sources Business Intelligence Cube and Attribute Set. This function uses a function module to deliver the required information (for example, contact person for an organization). You need a separate function module for each relationship type. The standard delivery contains the following example function modules:
          CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP
          CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP_BW
          CRM_MKTTG_PF_FIND_CPS

  • BAPI to build target group for segments

    Hi all,
    I looking for a BAPI that builds target group for segments and not for profile sets.
    Transaction CRMD_MKTSEG allows to create TG in two ways :
    - Build for Profile SET
    - Build for Selected segment
    BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE is like u201CBuild for Profile SETu201D, since it requires a profile set guid as input
    I have not found anything to u201CBuild for Selected segmentu201D, putting as input only a Profile.
    The reason is that I need to "refresh" every day the target group and it is possible only if I create a TG for segment and not for profile set. In this second case the TG is frozen and no more refreshable,
    Thanks.
    regards
    Emanuele

    Hi Emanuele,
    There are three types of Segments:- Profile Sets, Target Groups, Profiles. 
    (You can check this yourself:- Go inside Find segments, then choose Advanced Search. You will get option to find Marketing Segments based on whether they are Profile sets or Target Groups or Profiles )
    It means Profile Sets is also a type of Segment. So i am bit confused with your question.
    If i understand your question correctly, you simply want to create a target group which should be refreshed automatically on a daily basis.
    You can very well achieve this daily refresh by building the Target Group in Background Mode. While creating a Target Group there are two modes possible :- 1)Build Target Group in Dialog Mode 2)In Background Mode.
    So u need to build your Target group in background mode and While creating the Target Group in Background mode:-
    Select the Checkbox "Active"
    Do not select the checkbox "Modelling Completed".
    Hope this helps in resolving your issues.

  • Target group with Contact Person from Organisation

    Dear experts,
    we are currently on CRM 7.0 SP06.
    In segment Builder (GUI) there is an option in context menu for target group which allows us to create a new target group with all the contact persons from an existing target group with organisations.
    I know that we have to use the WEB UI. But there I could not find this functionality.
    Although we can achieve the same building up our own infoset, I would like to know if this functionaltiy is actually missing, or not supported anymore.
    Kind regards
    Hannes

    H isubash,
    thanks for your answer. I know that this funciotnality is not available in WEB UI, although it is provided in conetxt menu in GUI.
    Does anyone know if SAP simply not provided this functionality in current releases?
    Kind regards

  • Sync only specific groups for contacts mobileme on iphone

    How do I only sync specific contact groups via mobileme on my iphone 3G?

    With over 4000 contacts in my Address Book this is an important issue for me.
    I am currently syncing my all my contacts via MobieMe having set up 20 or so Groups in address book. I have split my contacts amongst the Groups which makes it easier to sort/search on my iphone. It is also a **** of a lot quicker to search for a name in a group than looking for it amongst 4000 entries in 'All Contacts'
    Some of my Groups change on a daily or weekly basis. For instance if I have a list of people that I know I want to call during the day, one group is called simply 'Calls', other groups my relate to Key Contacts and Key Projects, people that I am currently working with. When I job is done , I remove them from that Group but they remain in their Sector Group.
    I found a App called ABContacts which displays the Groups, but also adds either the contact name or Organisation name beneath the key data. Handy
    The only way to actually select specific groups is to sync your contacts with iTunes and select the groups that appear in the Sync Window. To do this you must first switch off Contact syncing with MobileMe on the iPhone. Make sure you are uptodate on MobileMe before you do this and back up your iPhone prior to doing this as you will lose all your Contact info of your phone prior to syncing Contacts with iTunes/AB
    Hope that helps
    Regards

  • 1.4 Still no Categories or Groups for Contacts

    I wonder if there is some common denominator reason why Palm can't give us this functionality on Web/OS.  Maybe it is because some of the back up utilities on the cloud do not support Categories?  Could it go against how universal search or some other capability works?
    It's nice to see that there are now multiple e-mail addresses that can be named. 
    Does anyone with more experience with the OS understand why this is missing?
    I like the phone so much but I can't see how to work without this feature.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    If you've done the reset and then the restore, then the next step is to either call Apple support for repair, or to make an appointment with the Genius bar at your nearest Apple Store for repair.

  • Member of Target Group: Contact record updated

    We are creating a target group for a Campaign and several of the contacts had to be updated (changed Companies "Account" for instance) and the new data for that contact is not reflected on Members list, shows old data (old Company "Account").
    Without removing the member and re-adding, are we missing something or once they are added it holds the old data?
    We can find this down the road to be cumbersome when copying target groups and/or when using the same target group for other campaigns
    if a contact record is updated and the information is not matching to the member data.
    Any insight appreciated!

    Hi Gina,
    once the members are added to a group and after if you do any changes on the master data these changes wont reflect in the group already created, you should remove and save the group after again add back this time the new changed data will be updated.
    hope this clarify your issue.

  • Target Group to be contacted again

    A target group was contacted through emai. A bunch of them responded. The ones who didnot respond have to be contacted again. How to go about it?

    Hello Dilboug,
    If campaign execution is triggered via Campaign automation then add members responded to the campaign in a  TG.And later remove this TG members from original TG used in campaign.So that the new TG will have members who did not respond to the campaign.
    If campaign execution  started manually then for campaign response update a marketing attribute.Later segmentation can be done on this marketing attribute with respective filter value.

  • Target group with customers and contact person

    Hello at all,
    I have the following problem:
    I want create a target group from an externel file. This file includs CRM customer numbers and the contact person numbers.
    When I use the standard import functionallity I have only the customers in the target group or the contact person.  But I need both in one target group.
    Is it possible to generate this target group in BW and send it to the CRM?
    Thnaks for help
    Best regards
    Matthias Buchheim

    Hi Werner,.
    I assume you want to select for Organizations (BUT000 Type 2) and you want to see in the Target Group the Contact Persons which are assigned via Relationship to the Orgnizations.
    Create for example a Datasource with  Infoset CRM_MKTTG_BP_ORG, and under Details for Business Partner use BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID.
    In Field Function Module maintain CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP.
    Create an Attribute List an assign the Datasource. After Creating the Target Group you will see the Organizations with all the assigned Contact Persons via Relationsship.
    Regards
    Andreas
    Another Tip: Create a Target Group for Persons, assign it to the Campaign, and now set the B2B Flag. Depending from your SP Level you have to apply a note so that the B2B Flag is visible (1263915)
    If you set the B2B flag you will get Communication Data for letters, for a Call List from the Relationship.

    Hi experts,

  • Issue in Target Group creation of contact persons

    Hi,
    I am working on CRM 5.0. Using the segment builder creating target group to be attached to the campaign.
    I have created one target group of organizations with Marketing attributes attached to these BPs.
    Using this organizations target group as Master Group I am creating one more target group of contact persons of these organizations (using Contact persons relationship). The issue here is, out of these contact persons I require only those contact persons having interest in classical music. I have maintained this attribute in the BP master data of these contact persons.
    While creating the target group of such contacts in segment builder I am using this attribute to filter the data but I am getting all the contacts without any filter applied. My requirement is to only get those contact persons (belonging to the master group of organizations) having interest in classical music. Can anyone suggest how to achieve this?
    With regards

  • CRM Target Groups and Product Segments - BW and BPS settings

    Hi gurus,
    I have some questions regarding the CRM Target Groups and Product Segments as it relates to BW and BPS planning layouts.
    1. When a target group is created in CRM, is it supposed to also be create master data entry for the object 0TGGRP_ID in BW? If it is, what kind of settings need to be made to ensure that? When we create target groups in our CRM instance, we donu2019t see the master data being updated for the  0TGGRP_ID info object.
    2. Where exactly (in BW) is the relationship between the target group and the underlying customer/business partners  stored/updated? We have a requirement to use target groups for defining the trade promotions and still being able to explode and plan on (individual) customers in the embedded BPS Planning layout. I believe that we need to have target group and associated customer assignments stored somewhere (?) in BW and use BPS characteristic relationships to populate all the possible combinations for a target group ID being passed from CRM. Am I correct in my assumptions? Any ideas if SAP has already delivered something similar in the BPS business content for TPM? 
    3. We are planning to use product segments to define the trade promotions as well. I believe BW info object is 0CP_SEGMENT. Similar to what I mentioned in Question 1, I donu2019t see any master data being updated for 0CP_SEGMENT. Am I looking at a wrong BW object or missing some key settings?    
    4. Where is the relationship between a Product Segment and the associated products stored/updated in BW?  How do I create a trade promotion using a product segment and make the BPS planning layout populate individual products in the lead column?
    Thank you for your help

    Hi Anna,
    After reading your post, what i understand is that there is no existing relationship present in CRM system between the Org BP and the contact person BP.
    As per my Knowledge in order to create a Target group with Contact Persons you should have an active relationship persent in the CRM system bewteen the BP and the Contact person.Now as your sceanrio suggests that the Contact person's are present in the BW system but not in CRM, i would assume that the relationship also exsits in the BW . So if it does then your BW team should be able to help you in creating the necessary infocube with there analytical tools and you can then use there cube as the datasource and create the necessary Target Group with Contact persons.
    Comming to the second part of your question, your guess is absolutely right but to give you more detailed infomation , the BP ID is converted in a unique GUID and this is passed into the program to retrive the necessary information from the BP after the campaign is executed.
    Hope this helps!!

    Naveen
