Target groups in Marketing....Urgent

Hi,
I have created a Profile set and Target groups in the profile set. i have executed the campaign for that.
My Question, is can i add the target group created earlier to the another profile set, if so How?
I am in urgent need of documentation of the same.
Regards
Yaswanth.k

Please read carefully the rules regarding target groups in CRM Segment Builder:
-A target group can exist without reference to a profile. If so, it must however reference a profile set ("lies in profile set..") or as a subset, if present ("is attached to profile set ...").
-If a target group is created with the profile set reference "is attached to" (that is, to a subset), it will have the status "active"; and any available target groups of the profile of the subset will be set to "inactive".
-A target group with profile reference always has a set reference ("lies in profile set ..").
-A target group with profile reference cannot be attached directly to a profile set.
Within a profile set, a target group without profile reference is represented by an icon indicating a single target group.
-You cannot move target groups from one profile set to another, however you can copy existing target groups.
The documentation is available here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/b6/ef0b3bcbe24b74e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If by "add target group to another profile set" you mean to say "COPY target group to another profile set", then yes it is possible to do it.
As for the "how" ... please read the help again:
To copy a marketing segment, select the required segment in the staging area of the Segment Builder and choose either the Copy pushbutton or choose Copy Segments from the context menu. If no individual segments are selected, the entire profile set is copied.
You can choose whether the copied segments are created in a new profile set, an existing profile set, an existing subset, or in a new subset of an existing profile set.

Printing letters to customers of marketing target group or campaign

Hello everyone,
We have a need to print letters to customers from a marketing target group or campaign. (SAP CRM 7)
The problem is that we can only see an option in application to send a Mail/SMS/Fax to the customer (with an already prepared mail form), but we just can't find a letter/print channel option.
Can it be that this basic option does not exist in the application ?
If it does not exist u2013 How can we send letters to the customers from a target group/campaign ?
We'll appreciate any help,
Best Regards,
Nitzan.

Hi,
I don't know if you found an answer already to your question but we had a similar issue.
In CRM 7.0 direct mailing is no longer supported.
The only solution is to either develop a specific enhancement based on mail forms (find a good CRM developper) or alternatively generate a file that you would then send to an external mailing house.
It seems that smaller customers try to do the mailing themselves but larger customers with higher volumes nearly allways use a mailing house.

Creation of empty target group---URGENT!!!!!!!

Hi...
   I have a scenario in campaign automation where i need to create a target group automatically when ever a customer clicks on yes/no in the survey.
      I hope there is a standard workflow which creates target grooup.but do we need to have an empty target group so that who ever cliks on yes/no can form a target group.?
   When ever a Target group is created,i need to create LEAD automatically from it.How do i achieve this?is there a workflow or BADI? and if at all leads are created automatcally,how are they automatically assigned to Lead qualifier??
Regards,
Sanjana

hi sanjana
its easy as you just assign a new target group to existing or new profile set and do not assign any BP tp that target group
this way you have empty target group at your discretion.

Very Urgent - Target Group count

Hi,
When I create a profile and click on count, it gives me No. of BPs and when I click on "Create Target Group" the No. of BP changes. It always reduces.
Why is this happenning?
Can someone pls help.
Regards,
Monica

More information needed. First and most important, ALWAYS post your CRM version (click on System -
Status -
Click the detail button under the "Component Version" field. Post the BBPCRM Release and Level fields). This helps us understand if certain notes are applicable to your problem.
In this case, the difference between count and final target group size could be because of a program error on SAP's side. Check note 1019180.
If your version is at the same level as what is in the note (i.e. Release 510, Level 0004) then it sounds like you have a more serious problem. You should create an OSS Message to SAP to let them know of this error.
Anyway, if the final target group which was built has the correct entries, the "count" shouldn't matter. It is intended to be just a helper number to let you know how big the target group is going to be, so that you can refine your criteria if needed.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your target groups!

Creation of Target group.

Hi All,
I having one urgent requirement, we have maintained the Ztable for maintaning the information of Vehicles against Business partners.
The Fields in the said Ztables are Vehicle type, vehicle Reg Number and BP number.
I want to send the mails using target group to customer who is having Perticular vehicle type for that i have created Infoset using the Ztable, then i have created the data source for target group still i m not getting the desired result !!!!!!
please anybody tell me that i missing any of step for above requirement ???
how to link up the BP to Ztables fields ???
How to create the said Target group ???
Regards,
Dipesh

Hi,
You can try this alternative solution:-
Instead of maintaining vehicle type etc in Z table, please crate it as "attribute", and assign it to Business Partners.
You can use CRMD_PROF_BP transaction to assign Attributes to Business partners.
Based on the attributes , you can subsequently create the "target group".

Creating a target group based on the BP email address only in CRM

Hi there,
I am currently trying to create a target group based on the business partner email address only.
I have a list of over 1000 email addresses - these email addresses equate to a BP in our CRM system, however I do not have a list of the equivalent business partner numbers, all I have to work on are the email addresses. With these 1000 BP email addresses I need to update the marketing attributes of each of these 1000 BP records in CRM.
What I need is a method to find the 1000 BP numbers based on the email addresses and then use the marketing expert tool (tx. CRMD_MKT_TOOLS) to change the marketing attributes on all of the 1000 BPs.
The issue I am having is how can I find the list of BP numbers just based on the BP email address, I tried creating an infoset based on table BUT000, BUT020 and ADR6 but I after creating attribute list & data source for this I am stuck on what to do next. In the attribute list the selection criteria does not allow me to import a file for the selection range. I can only enter a value but I have 1000 email addresses and cannot possibly email them manually in the filter for the attribute list. I also looked at imported a file into the target group but I do not have any BP numbers so this will not work.
Does anyone know a method where I can create a target group based on the email addresses only without having to do any code?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regard
JoJo

Automatic Profile Set / Target Group Creation in SAP CRM

Hi,
Need some help on the listed process.
Is there any procedure to create Profile Ser/Target group automatically based on certain criteria? We want to reduce the manual work of Profile/Target group creation for the users.
We are currently using SAP CRM 5.0 and looking at options of creating Target Groups automatically based on infoset. The criteria used to model is below mentioned.
- New Customers & Head Office (They are the customer specific Z-fields in BP Master Data)
- Relationship Data: Has contact person Relationship. This is based on the assignment of Contact person to the BP (i.e. Day when the Relationship assignment done to the respective BP Master Data --> under Relationship tab page.
We are not using Attribute Set (that we assign to Marketing Attribute tab page of BP Master), for your information.
Appreciate, if you could let us know whethe this is possible by Standard feature/ any work around on this.
Kindly do the needful.
Thanks,
Rahul

Enhance output of Target Group opened in segment builder

Hello Experts,
We are implementing SAP CRM Lean Marketing using CRM 7.0. Our business requirement is to do segmentation based on Company attributes and Relationship Category. The output of the target group should enlist the persons related to the Company based on the relationship category selected while doing the segmentation.
Using standard InfoSet CORM_MKTTG_BP_ORG_CDE and while creating data source selecting BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID in the field business partner, we are able to get the list of persons matching the segmentation query (based on the relationship category e.g. Has Supplier, Has Contact Person, etc) . But the issue is , the output of the target group (shown as an ALV grid , when the target group is opened in segment builder) only enlists matching Persons, it does not enlist the related company ID /name in front of the Person ID in the output of the target group. And this Company BP ID is not available if I try to modify the output layout. So business is unable to understand the Person enlisted in TG belongs to which Company. Can we enhance this ALV grid output of the target group displayed in segment builder ? if yes , how can it be achieved ? If this is possible and we are able to add related company BP ID/ name in front of every person enlisted in the target group then our issue gets resolved. Or is there any alternative solution to resolve this issue ?
Highly appreciate your early response in order to resolve this critical issue.

Naresh,
Thanks for the response.
As per your suggestion I made additions to my z Infoset , and added all the fields you suggested.
While creating the data source I selected following fields
Business Partner: BUT000_PER-PARTNER_GUID (as my requirement is to return Persons and this field works with only GUID)
Reference Object: BUT051-RELNR
Reference Object Type: BUT051-RELTYP
Now when I create the target group with this data source unfortunately I am still not getting the the relationship number when I click in Show assigned Objects in the target group screen of web UI.
Please suggest where I am going wrong
Thanks

Hello Experts,
We tried implementing BADI CRM_MKTTG_SEG_MEM_EX in order to add Company ID/ Name , but the issue is the BADI gets Input as persons BP id, nothing else, due to this if a person is having relationships with multiple companies, the BADI is unable to identify which company to choose as Relationship Category is not available to the BADI. And further issue is if a Person is having same relationship category with 2 companies e.g. Supplier for company A and for Company B too , in this case too the BADI is unable identify correct Company to return to the target group output
Is there someting in the Infoset that can resolve our issue ? How can I make available the fields in the infoset to the ALV output of the target group. Using SQ02 I am able to add fields to the field groups for selection in segmentation, but can anyone guide, how to make the field available in the output list ?
Please provide your technical assistance
Thanks

sreedhar

Hi Manohar,
You can use below methods
1. Using BI query (BI Cube) :
Create a BI query for the sales orders with value field and BP GUID and create a data source using the BI cube with BP as BP GUID.
2. Using Marketing attribute:
Create a Marketing attribute as Sales Volume (for exp) and update this marketing attribute with the total value of the sales order + exsting value in the marketing attribute which gives the total cumilative value of the sales done so far by that particular BP.
To achieve this you may have use the breakpoint in the sales order and code for the updation of markeing attribute of sold party partner function BP.
Create a data souce using the above attribute set.
We have used 2nd method for our purpose.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Reward points if it helps.

Regeneration of Target Group

Hi crmguys,
We have the following case about the Target Group in CRM Marketing:
Already Generate a Target Group in Segment Builder on x date
A Campaign has been created and the Target Group has been assigned to this Campaign
After that some changes has been done at the time of releasing the campaign,
shall i have to regenerate the target group or not to get the exact target group accroding to attribute list
thanks in advance
Raj

hi
you said you already maintained the target group ,so when you release the campign its pretty simple,if you have maintained the target group using the same set of attributes which are there in your attribute list,then you need not create the target group again
but if thats not the case then you need to regenerate the target group on the basis of attribute list,infosets or BW query,using whatever you want to do the segmentation.
target group once assigned to the campaigns can be used again and again but on the basis of which target group are assigned is very crucial.this must be remembered every time we do segmentation.
besides you can maintain a background job for scheduling the target group assignment to the BP too,so that once target group is generated it is assigned automatically for segmentation.

ashish
