2- 1. What is Customer Relationship Management
(CRM)? - CRM is defined as aligning business strategy,
corporate culture and organization, customer
information, and supporting information
technology so that all customer interactions
promote a mutually beneficial relationship
between each customer and the enterprise.
Primarily, customer relationship management is a
business strategy, but it is a business strategy
enabled by advances in technology. Widespread
implementation of customer information,
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, sales
force automation, and integrated point-of-sale
systems have made customer information readily
available in large volumes. Reduced costs and
higher levels of performance for database
management platforms enable us to gain access to
this customer information and gain new insights
into our customers and their behavior through a
variety of analysis methods.
3- 2. What is the difference between CRM and R/3 ?
- The difference between CRM and R/3 is R/3 is
an integration of different application suits it
has its own architecture and way of functioning.
Coming to CRM it is all about maintaining the
relationship with a customer. It is supposed to
enhance the profit of the company or organization
since the ultimate goal of any company is profit.
Therefore CRM is one step ahead for their goal
achievements. - Whereas SAP R/3 is a 3
tier based on client or server based application.
One layer is presentation layer i.e Client which
interfaces with the end user. Second layer is
application layer for all business-specific
requirements i.e program, and third is database
which contains all information and records about
the system, including transactional and
configuration data. SAP R/3 has been developed in
its own language called ABAP (Advanced Business
Application Programming).

Management. It is a strategy used to learn more
about customers' needs and behaviors in order to
develop stronger relationships with them. After
all, good customer relationships are at the heart
of business success. There are many technological
components to CRM, but thinking about CRM in
primarily technological terms is a mistake. The
more useful way to think about CRM is as a
process that will help bring together lots of
pieces of information about customers, sales,
marketing effectiveness, responsiveness and
market trends.

- A bit longer than many software salespeople
will lead you to think. Some vendors even claim
their CRM "solutions" can be installed and
working in less than a week. Packages like those
are not very helpful in the long run because they
don't provide the cross-divisional and holistic
customer view needed. The time it takes to put
together a well-conceived CRM project depends on
the complexity of the project and its components -
- 9. Can CRM and ITS server maintained in one
system? - CRM and ITS servers can be maintained in one
system, but it is technically possible and
whereas it is not recommended since it would not
allow for good security if both are implemented

at integrating enterprise relationship planning
(ERP) systems at the same time that organizations

relationship management (CRM) strategies to
retain and acquire customers in a worldwide
marketplace characterized by heightened
competition. - 11. What is the action profile in sap CRM? How to
use complaints and returns life cycle in service
process? - Action Profile is a Post Processing Frame
work (PPF) which gives some output (like as smart
form, fax, document) on given conditions. And
this is used in every place in SAP CRM where we
define the Conditions for the successful
implementation of the activity. Like in
Opportunity Management, Monitoring the Activity
of the enterprise employees etc. -
10- 12. What is master data in sap CRM?

mandatory for creating org CP in CRM system. - EX Org Name address details Contact
details and CP related Names and contact details. - 13. Is there any provision directly with CRM to
buffer the data or is there any other means? - The provision directly with CRM to buffer the
data is by CRM stores, all orders, products, and
prices etc, used in the Internet sales Scenario.
It would have R/3 integration and then the order
will be forwarded to R/3, but it is also kept in
CRM database.
11- 14. How to integrate R/3 with CRM?
- To exchange data between ECC ( R3 ) and CRM
systems we need to maintain connectivity for both
systems. They are - Maintain Logical Systems in both systems and link
with respective clients. - Maintain RFC destinations in both systems
pointing to each other system. - Maintain Number ranges as mirror images in both
systems. - Ex Maintain same number range in ECC as Internal
and in - Below are the steps for the integration between R
3 CRM - SAP ECC
- 1) Define logical system for ECC ( Name
) - 2) Define logical system for CRM ( To
establish the cross connection ) - SAP CRM
- 1) Define logical system for CRM
- 2) Define logical system for ECC
12- 15. What is the Use of R/3 condition in CRM?
- We are trying to replicate SAP R/3 pricing
conditions to CRM. Initial download of pricing
customizing has been done. R/3 pricing conditions
are displayed in CRM customizing well (pricing,
rebates and free goods). Though when I go in
customizing (in CRM) to use these R/3 conditions
in condition maintenance under marketing
planning and campaign management, I can see my
rebates conditions, the free goods conditions but
not the other conditions applying directly in the
sales order. I have checked the configuration for
the conditions not shown. They are categorized
in Application CRM Usage PR for pricing
Source R/3. Conditions created in R/3 and
replicated to CRM can only be maintained in R/3.
If your middleware is set properly, any changes
(VK11, VK12) will replicate to CRM. - 7 - Only
conditions created in CRM are maintained in CRM
(most likely documents that do not replicate back
to R/3, if that scenario exists for you).
