Basic configuration
SAP Solution Manager includes all Incident Management relevant
customizing objects in a piece list
 On customer systems the piece list will be “activated” within Basic configuration
 It copies the customizing content of these objects from client 000 into the working client
 This action will be executed regularly (to deliver new/updated customizing from SAP)
 The recommendation for customers is to copy the SAP customizing into customer namespace (e.g.
using transaction type ZMIN instead of SMIN)
Transactions
 Solman_Setup

SLA Procedure Improvements
Customizing Steps to set-up SLA escalation procedure:
 Create the SLA profile under "Edit Availability and Reaction Times".
 Configure the SLA profile determination under "Specify SLA Determination Procedure".
 Specify the times to be recalculated when the status changes, under "Specify Duration
Settings".
 Identify non-relevant customer times in the step "Specify Customer Time Status".
 Schedule a periodic background job to give incidents the status 'Warning' or 'Escalation' if
they exceed thresholds.
 Example:
– Calculation of service durations ( Doku Link)
33
Custom Actions in CRM UI
 Guide: “Incident Management Configuration and Upgrade Guide”
o Chapter “Adding Custom Actions to the SAP WebClient UI“
o Additional information in Note 1567003 “ST710 Incident Management Frequently Asked Questions”
 Actions which can be started manually appear by default in the “Scheduled
Actions” assignment block.
 For quick access, customers may wish to display some of these actions in the
“Actions” pulldown of the main toolbar.
 Maintain action filter in table AGS_WORK_CUSTOM (white list).
• See guide or Note for details.
Note: Only actions which do not call any GUI functions (popups, URLs, SAP GUI
transactions) are supported.
34
Use of Incidents for Non-SAP Products
 See Note 1567003 “ST710 Incident Management Frequently Asked Questions”.
 A comprehensive and integrated solution is in planning for a future feature
package.
 In the meantime, customers are advised to keep modeling of non-SAP products
in the Ibase to a minimum.
o Customers may wish to temporarily use placeholder entries in the Ibase for non-SAP products.
 Customers can enable the Object/Project selection field in the CRM UI to allow
access to Individual Objects (Iobjects) in the IBase.
o //BTREFOBJMAIN/PRODUCTID
 Setting IM_LOAD_IBASE = X in table AGS_WORK_CUSTOM will allow the
workcenter UI to select arbitrary text components from the Ibase.
o May be appropriate for small-scale modeling of non-SAP products, but not for large-scale CMDB.
35
Multiple Categorization Blocks
Catalog Category C: Overview
of Damage/Defect/Reasons
Catalog Category D: Defect
Locations/Object Parts
 You can assign up to five categorization blocks to a Incident
 The categorization schema is determined based on a transaction type / catalog category combination
 Customizing: Customer Relationship Management → CRM Cross-Application Components → Multilevel
Categorization → Assign Transaction Types to Catalog Categories
 Per default, two categorization blocks are visible in a Incident; you can add further blocks in the
SAP BSP WD Workbench
36
Assignments in the Category Modeler
Service product is relevant for item
determination in Incident and problem)
Knowledge articles are relevant for Suggest
Knowledge Articles (Knowledge
Articles assignment block)
For Auto Complete of Incident, add a
Incident template in the „Incident
Template‟ area
For problems use the „Problem Template‟
area
For service processes of class Request for
Change use the „Request for Change
Template‟ area.
You can access the Category Modeler, for example, in the IT Service Professional
role → Service Operations → Categorization Schemas.
37
Example: Suggest Knowledge Articles
“Suggest Knowledge Articles” will determine
knowledge articles from the categorization schema
for the selected category
38
Multilevel Categorization Customizing
Define which transaction type – catalog categorization combination will be
used for Find Related Objects, Auto Complete, Item Determination.
39
Item Determination
In item determination customizing you define whether the Incident„s item should
be determined automatically by selecting a multilevel categorization entry in the
Incident.
 If the item determination is active, the service product which is assigned to the Incident category is
used for item determination
 To assign service products to categories, go to the categorization schema, for example in the IT
Service Professional Role → Service Operations → Categorization Schemas
 If no service product is assigned to the Incidents category (lowest level), the system searches
whether a service product has been assigned to a higher level of the categorization and, if so,
uses the next possible service product for item determination
40
Auto Complete with Template
While creating a new Incident, you can use the Auto Complete function to copy pre-defined data
from a template into the Incident.
In Customizing, activate the Auto Complete function per transaction type - catalog category
combination
In the Category Modeler, assign templates per relevant category:
incident templates in the Incident Template assignment block
problem templates in the Problem Template assignment block
Request for change templates in the Request for Change assignment block
You can access the Category Modeler, for example, in the IT Service Professional role → Service
Operations → Catgorization Schemas.
41
System Proposals for Related Transactions
- Find Related Problems, Find Related Incidents





For a Incident, related transactions can be proposed by the system.
To set up which transaction type can be proposed from which transaction type, go to customizing:
Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Settings for Service Requests → Define
System Proposals for Related Transactions.
Per default, “Find Related Problems” and “Find Related Incidents” are available on the UI. If you
need further system proposals, in addition to the customizing settings you also need to enhance the
Incident‟s UI.
Define the matching parameters in the target transaction type which will determine which
transactions are proposed by the system: Categorization, Reference Object, Organizational Data,
Sold-to Party
If the system shall search for transactions of the same categorization, you also need to activate the
relevant transaction type – catalog category combination for “Find Related Object” in the multilevel
catorization (see previous slide “Multilevel Categorization Customizing”)
42
Service Level Determination
SLA determination procedures determine the service and response profiles for the transaction line item
based on the access sequence.
Define the SLA determination procedure here: Customer Relationship Management → Transactions →
Settings for Service Requests → Define SLA Determination Procedures.
43
Impact / Urgency / Recommended Priority

The system determines the
recommended priority of the
transaction based on the entered
combination of impact and urgency.

A priority different than the
recommendation can still be selected
manually.
The determined priority is based on
impacts, urgencies and their combined
priority defined in customizing:
Customer Relationship Management →
Transactions → Settings for Service
Requests → Define Impact / Urgency /
Recommended Priority
44
Date Calculation / Settings for Durations
You can track durations and
dates based on status changes in
the Incident.
 Track the duration of how long
the Incident was in certain
status
 Store the date when the
Incident reached a certain
status
Durations are recorded and
displayed in the Dates and Service
Level Agreements assignment
blocks.
45
Processing Log
You can have a processing log in a transaction to provide a consolidated audit trail of any changes made to
it.
 Various log types are available for selection
 One type can be defaulted for viewing
 Changes to fields can be logged selectively




Customizing: Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Settings for Service
Requests → Settings for Processing Log
→ Assign Log Types to Transaction Types
→ Define Change History for Processing Log
46
Dispatch: Rule Modeler Contexts
To enable rule-based dispatching of Incidents (and problems), a new context for
Service Request Management has been established for the rule modeler.
 Customizing: Customer Relationship Management → E-Mail Response Management
System → Define Repository
 The context SERVICEREQUEST per default has four actions assigned: Invoke Policy, Route
to group, Route to a Partner, and Set priority to the Incident
47
Dispatch: Service Manager Profile
In Service Manager profiles, the context and the name of the default rule are
assigned.
 Customizing: Customer Relationship Management → E-Mail Response
Management System → Service Manager → Define Service Manager Profiles
 The context and the name of the default rule policy can be found in the Directly Called Service
Properties of the SAP_SRQMROUTING service manager profile.
Per default, the rule policy for dispatching of Incidents should be called
DEFAULT_ROUTE in the Rule Modeler.
48
Dispatch: Assign Service Manager Profile to Transaction Type
Assign the service manager / rule modeler profile for dispatching of Incidents
here:
Customizing: Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Additional
Settings → Assign Dispatching Rule Profile to Transaction Types.
Now you can create the DEFAULT_ROUTE dispatching rule, and – if relevant –
more dispatching rules, in the Rule Modeler, for example, in the IT Service
Professional Role: Operations → Rule Policies.
49
Time Recording
You can define which service confirmation transaction type is used for Time
Recording per transaction type:
 In customizing, go to: Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Basic Settings → Define
Transaction Types
 Select the transaction type for which you want to use Time Recording
 In the view “Assignment of Business Transaction Categories”, select the Transaction Category
“BUS2000116 Service Process” and go to the Customizing Header view
 Enter the service confirmation transaction type in the “Trans.Type Confirm.” field
50
Checklist Settings: Checklist Basic Settings
 For checklist steps, item functionality is being reused
 A new object type BUS2000199 – CRM Checklist Item has been created
 Based on BUS2000199 the standard checklist item category CHKL is delivered
 To set up your own checklist item category, partner determination procedure/s,
text determination procedure/s, and action profile/s, proceed as described in the
IMG document “Define Basic Settings for Checklist“:
Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Basic Settings → Checklist Settings → Define
Basic Settings for Checklist

After upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 7.1
Impact on incident and change request management in SAP Solution Manager 7.1
 UIs are upgraded from SAP GUI to SAP CRM Web UI
 New transaction types in 7.1 replace the 7.0 transaction types
 New functions in 7.1 are only available in the SAP CRM Web UI with new transaction types
 There is no automatic migration from 7.0 transaction types, but large parts 7.0 customizing can be reused
To minimize the impact of these changes for customer projects, SAP offers a transition phase
 You can process existing tickets based on 7.0 transaction types within the Work Center UI or SAP GUI, until
they are closed
 You create new tickets with the 7.1 object types and process them with the SAP CRM Web UI
 The SAP Solution Manager Work Centers remain as UI for all other ALM processes.
73
Upgrade Path & Basic Setup
Important for Upgrade customers which have modified SAP standard customizing:
 Save existing customer specific customizing (transaction types, action profiles, …) on
transport, as it might get overwritten within the upgrade!
 Customizing in customer name space will not be touched
Main information can be taken from Configuration and Upgrade Guide
New customizing
is shipped via
piece list, which is
being activated
within
SOLMAN_SETUP
Copy SAP customizing to customer namespace before doing any modifications
74
Incident Management Work Center in Transition Phase
 Guide: “Incident Management Configuration and Upgrade Guide”
 The Work Center displays both old (SLFN-based) and new (SMIN-based)
transaction types
 Key users (end users/requesters) remain in work center and do not use CRM UI
 Processors are directed either to CRM UI or Web Dynpro to edit an incident
Note: New (SMIN) transactions are referred to as “Incidents” in the Work Center.
75
Incident Management Work Center in Transition Phase II
 At the start of the transition phase, perform a cut-off of old message creation.
o Remove create authority for SLFN-Based messages. (Authorization object CRM_ORD_PR)
o Ensure that only SMIN-Based incidents can be created.
o Old messages can still be processed (in Work Center or SAP_GUI).
 At the end of the transition phase, remove change authorization for old
messages.
o Old messages are then only viewable, but can no longer be changed.
 Leave both old and new transaction types in DNO_CUST04.
o Ensures that both can be viewed and processed.
o Only remove old transaction type from DNO_CUST04 when it is no longer necessary to view these
transactions in the work center.
76
Incident Management Work Center in Transition Phase III
 If customers need direct access to CRMD_ORDER from work center, users can
activate “expert mode” in the personalization dialog box.
