Purpose

With the following document you will determine the available e-mail options for Incident Management and

Change Request Management documents in Solution Manager 7.1.

This blog is valid for Solution Manager 7.1, the screenshots was taken from a Solution Manager 7.1 SP5.

Overview

In Solution Manager 7.1 there are now different ways to trigger e-mails actions from the documents:

- E-mail creation in CRM Web UI

- PPF E-mail actions: the following incident management standard actions are explained in detail

◦ E-mail to Reporter

◦ E-Mail to Reporter at Status Change

◦ E-Mail to Message Observer

- PPF E-mail actions using HTML mail forms since Solman 7.1 SP10

We will see also the available smartforms and the way to send e-mail to multiple recipients indicated in one

BP.

1. Settings for e-mail creation in the CRM WebClient UI

The Outgoing E-mail transaction type must be maintained in the following customizing:

Go to transaction SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions

-> One-to-One E-Mail -> Assign Transaction Types

Maintain the outgoing e-mail transaction type here:

Define Multipart E-Mail Option and Groupware Integration:

2. How to Configure Outbound E-Mail in the CRM WebClient UI as a

follow-up transaction

You can send e-mails as follow-up documents from Incidents and other CRM transactions.

If this does not work, and you have upgraded your system from a previous Solution Manager release, please

follow

the instructions in note 1587298 CRM_UI: E-mail not available as follow-up transaction

1. Call transaction CRMC_PROCESS_MA.

2. Select transaction type "0005" and, in the structure tree, select "Assignment of Business Transaction

Categories".

3. Select the business transaction category "Business Activity"and, in the structure tree, select "Customizing

header"

4. Select the category "E-mail" (401).

5. In spro go to Customer Relationship Management -> Transactions -> Settings for Activities -> Maintain

Categories, Goals, and Priorities -> Maintain Categories.

Ensure that Category "401" (description "E-Mail") use Class "G Email" from the dropdown list.

6. Also ensure that in spro-> SAP Solution Manager -> Capabilities (Optional) -> IT Service

Management->Follow-up Document Creation -> Define Copying Control for Transaction Types

Definitions for the standard type SMIN:

Specify Mapping Rules for Copy Control

The same need to be done for ChaRM transaction types like SMCR,…



Note: If the e-mail button in CRM Web UI is opening an appointment ensure that in spro points under

…. > IT Service Management > Follow-Up Document Creation are also followed for the indicated

transaction type:

3. Sending E-mails

You can send E-Mails in several ways in the CRM WebClient UI.

3.1. Function More-> Send E-mail

The E-Mail contains by default the Description text from the Text assignment block. You can change the

format (HTML or text), recipient, subject and contents of the E-Mail before you send it.

It opens the Email Editor page.

The email should be linked to the incident, see Reference field and Related Transactions AB.

This function is available for SMIN,SMRQ, SMCR, SMMJ, SMHF documents:



Note: for charm document it could be a BSP error CX_BOL_EXCEPTION when you:

1. click on Send Email in a request for change or normal change document in crm_ui

2. in the following send email screen, click on cancel.

These two notes should solve the issue: 1772697, 1723372.

3.2 Incident Management: Delivered E-Mail sending actions in the standard

The following PPF actions are supporting e-mail notifications via Smart Forms:

- Manually created e-mails:

• <Action_Profile_Name>_MAIL

• <Action_Profile_Name>_MAIL_PROCESSOR

- Automatically created E-Mails:

• <Action_Profile_Name>_MAIL_REPORTER

• <Action_Profile_Name>_MAIL_WATCHLIST

There are special PPF actions to determine the support team automatically. These actions can be

customized to send e-mails to the support team that has been found:

• <Action_Profile_Name>_FIND_PARTNER_FDT: Find Support Team Responsible by FDT Rule

• <Action_Profile_Name>_FIND_TEAM_SEND_EMAIL: Find Support Team and Send E-Mail

See note 2050396 - Email to Support Team is not sent: "No recipient available"

(more details in SDN document Incident Management: Support team determination in Solution

Manager 7.1 document)

There are special PPF action <Action_Profile_Name>_MAIL_FORM, E-Mail to Reporter with Mail Form, to

automatically send an email with CRM mail form

if message status is set to Customer Action or Proposed Solution.

3.2.1. E-mail to Reporter in detail

Action ZMIN_STD_MAIL: Sends e-Mail to reporter of message, but this action needs to be triggered

manually from the document.

Select the option ‘E-mail to Reporter’ from the list.

3.2.2. E-Mail to Reporter at Status Change in detail

Action ZMIN_STD_MAIL_REPORTER



3.2.3. E-Mail to Message Observer

Action: ZMIN_STD_MAIL_WATCHLIST

Automatically sends an e-Mail to the users which have the message in their watch list in case there is a text

change in the message.



In the workcenter click on the button “Add to Watch List”

A message saying: “Message added to Watch List” appears in the upper part of the screen

Click on the button Reply and add some text. In a while you will receive an e_mail with a pdf attachment.

Check the file attached. The name of the file and the subject of the e_mail are as follows: [Incident ID:

Incident Description]

The content of the attachment is showing some details like Priority and Status, Short text and the text you

just added (Reply).

3.2.4. E-Mail to Reporter with Mail Form

Action: ZMIN_STD_MAIL_FORM

An E-Mail in HTML format is sent to the reporter of the incident message.



See Personalized E-Mail spro point for details:

See notes:

- 1751307 E-Mail Notification when Information from SAP sent to SM 7.1

3.3 Change Request management: Delivered E-Mail sending actions in the standard



Starting in Solman 7.1 SP10 the following PPF actions are supporting e-mail notifications via Mail Forms:

<transaction type>_SEND_MAIL_<business role>: Sends an E-Mail to the business partner in the relevant business role

More details for Mail forms in section 6. Mail forms

For creating PPF actions supporting e-mail notifications via Smart Forms see the following SCN documents:

- SCN Blog: Sending E-Mail from Support Message

- SCN Blog: Pep Up Your ChaRM - Part 1: HowTo Create a Smart e-Mail Action

The email notification can be triggered by a:

- HF_SET_STATUS:

• scheduling condition has to have the source user status

• starting condition has to have the target status

- SET_PREDOC:

• scheduling condition has to have the target user status

• starting condition has to have the target status

Reason: with SET_PREDOC the user status is already set for the document as this is done directly not via a

PPF Action Framework run

See also if note 1609682 Smart form does not work for request for change is relevant for your solman 7.1

patch level.

4. Smartforms

When sending e-mails via actions, you will receive and e-mail, the content of the smartform will be the

content of the e-mail or the content of the PDF file attached to the e-mail. This will depend on the settings of

scot, SAPscript/Smart Forms PDF or TXT.

In the email action you should maintain these entries:

Mail Settings:

- Form Name: AI_CRM_IM_FULL_DATA_FORM or AI_CRM_IM_SHORT_TEXT_LINK_FORM

When using AI_CRM_IM_SHORT_TEXT_LINK_FORM form you will get an e-mail which contains the link to

the document but to the document in the workcenter:

Note: In case of error "Entity could not be determined" please see note 1832463 (don´t forget the manual activities).

When using form AI_CRM_IM_FULL_DATA_FORM you can use the customizing of the text types, call

SM30: AICV_TEXT_SFORM (View Texts in Smart Forms is displayed) to define the texts contained in the

e-mail.

You can currently only define the text types for this smart form.

With the above configuration you will get and email with this content:

But the link to the message is gone…..

- Processing Class: CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER.

- Processing Method: CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SF_MMR, this is the standard processing method for

email actions in Solution Manager 7.1

Note: CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SMART_FORM was the processing method for Solution Manager 7.0, can

be used in Solution Manager 7.1 but it is not allowing sending an email to multiple recipients as indicated in

section “5. E-mail to multiple recipients”

- Keep Archive Mode: Mail Only unchanged.

Please check this example for getting the link to the document in crm_ui by writing some code in the

smartform:

CONCATENATE 'http://'

lv_host ':' lv_port



'/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_start/default.htm?crm-object-type=AIC_OB_CMCR&crm-object-

action=D&crm-object-value='

lv_sguid

'&crm-key-name=GUID&sap-client=001&sap-language=EN'

INTO lv_url.

crm-object-type=AIC_OB_CMCR for *MCR documents

crm-object-type=AIC_OB_CMCD for charm normal change, charm urgent change, etc...

Object action crm-object-action defines if you are in Edit or Display mode when you open the ticket.

You might want to change to object type for different documents (incidents or change documents) and the

object action defines if you are in Edit or Display mode when you open the ticket.

Charm document example:

http://xxx:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_start/default.htm?crm-object-type=AIC_OB_CMCD&crm-object-

action=D&crm-object-

value=0045568000031EE1BE9CC858092291AC00215E09495E1ED280B6FCC1C594D428&crm-key-

name=GUID&sap-client=001&sap-language=EN

Please see SCN doc from Raquel:

Changing the Smartform to show the link of ChaRM documents

Note: Form name AI_CRM_IM_FULL_DATA_FORM is giving a dump when using with processing method

CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SF_MMR:

The following error text was processed in the system:

Function call of /1BCDWB/SF00000001 failed; the obligatory parameter FORM_NAME

Exception Class CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING

Error Name

Program CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER=====CP

Include CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER=====CM004

ABAP Class CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER

Method CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SF_MMR

Line 425

Long text The call of the function /1BCDWB/SF00000001 failed: the required parameter FORM_NAME was not filled.

The only solution here is to copy the class CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER to Z* and to adapt the method

CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SF_MMR, so it calls the Smart Form with the parameter FORM_NAME, see KBA 1831361 -

Solution Manager - Changing status of an Incident in

CRM_UI gives BSP error - CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING

See also note: 1854961 Link to incident in smart form opens with wrong language, in case of issue with the

languague of e-mail the receiver receives.

5. E-mail to multiple recipients

1. Maintain the partner e-mail addresses in /nbp

2. Maintain the field Correspondence language on the address tab:

3. Choose the tab Address, section Communication. Select the yellow arrow in the field E-Mail. A screen

named Maintain internet mail addresses appears.

Add a new line and enter an e-mail address. Repeat this action if needed and confirm with the green

checkmark button.



When running action ZMIN_STD_MAIL, for example, two emails are sent.

Currently sending mails to multiple receivers is only available for personal BP (for example, reported by,

processor), but not for organizational BP (for example, sold-to party, support team).

6. HTML Mail forms

6.1. Prerequisites

For using E-mail actions with mail forms you need to fulfill the following prerequisites:

1. You have activated the following switches in transaction SFW5:

- CRM_IC_CEBP: this BF enable the option #Service Request Attribute#, see note "1983807 - Service Request

Attributes in Mail

Forms"

- CRM_SHSVC

2. In Customizing under Customer Relationship Management -> Marketing -> Marketing Planning and Campaign

Management -> Personalized Mail -> Maintain Attribute Contexts for Mail Forms, you have selected the following:

Attribute Context Marketing Attributes Type

SERVICE REQUEST All Marketing Attribute Sets SQM Service Request Management

In this activity, you can adjust the HTML mail forms you want to use for e-mail notifications.

For more information on the configuration of mail forms, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/crm-> <SAP CRM

7.0 and above> -> Application

Help -> Marketing -> Campaign Management -> Personalized Mail.

6.2. Mail form definition

In the WebClient UI, choose Service Operations.

Choose Create -> Mail Form to create a new mail form or choose Search -> Mail Forms to copy an existing mail form

and adapt it to your needs.

Enter an ID for your mail form and enter the information required for your e-mail notification.

Enter the ID of your mail form as the initial value for the expression MAIL_FORM_TEMPLATE, as described in the

activity Activate PPF Actions.

Select the attribute context Service Request Attributes.

Note: A mail form has an original language, for example, English. You can translate it into other languages by choosing

More -> Translate. If the mail form is only available in the original language, with no translation, and a user logs on in a

different language, editing and saving a change document, an empty e-mail notification is displayed to the recipient.

Example

The following example shows the HTML source text for an e-mail template. You can save the text into a local file, and

then upload it to the mail form editor.

Note the following:

Replace the placeholder <URL to your server> with your server URL.

Replace the placeholder <ID for change transaction type> with the ID for the change transaction type you use the mail

form for:

Request for change: AIC_OB_CMCR

Normal change: AIC_OB_CMNC

Urgent change: AIC_OB_CMUC

General change: AIC_OB_CMGC

Administrative change: AIC_OB_CMAC

Defect correction: AIC_OB_CMTM

Best regards, SAP Solution Management

Administration</FORM> </BODY></HTML>

6.3. PPF Action

Choose an action profile, for example, for a normal change.

Choose the action <transaction type>_SEND_MAIL_CHANGE_MANAGER or <transaction

type>_SEND_MAIL_IT_OPERATOR.

Choose Processing Types.

Select Method Call and choose Change Definition for the processing parameter.

Select the standard expression MAIL_FORM_TEMPLATE.

Under Initial Value, enter the name of your e-mail template for the expression.

Select the standard expression DEFAULT_SENDER_EMAIL.

Under Initial Value, enter the e-mail address of the sender of your e-mail notifications, for example, the e-mail address of

your support team.

Check the initial value of the parameter MAIL_FORM_TEMPLATE. It must not have leading spaces.

Notes:

Ensure that the mail form is available in the required language. The e-mail is sent in the logon language of the user who

saves the change transaction. It is not sent in the language maintained in the business partner data of the user who

receives the e-mail.

If the mail form is not available in the required language, the system sends an empty e-mail without a subject.

Check the initial value of the parameter DEFAULT_SENDER_EMAIL. It must not have leading spaces.

Ensure that the sender e-mail address exists in your mail infrastructure.

Ensure that a business partner has been entered in the change transaction, with the business partner function for which

an e-mail is to be sent.

Check the business partner data, that is, it contains an e-mail address, and the standard communication method is

e-mail.

Ensure that the business partner to whom an e-mail is to be sent is not used in more than one business function in your

change transaction.

The system does not send e-mail notifications to business partners used in several partner functions in a change

transaction. If you want the system to send e-mails anyway, refer to SAP Note 621183.

You can only send e-mails from change transactions that are error-free.

Hi, Dolores.

Thank you for this very usefull information!

But could you help me with getting the link to the document in crm_ui?

I've copied this part in my smartform:

CONCATENATE 'http://'

lv_host ':' lv_port

INTO lv_url.

But nothing happens. No link.

How I should define a place in the smartform, where link will appear?

I found the answer to my question above. Please disregard my question.

&STATUS_CHANGE& flag gets set in the method

IF_EX_CONTAINER_PPF~MODIFY_CONTAINER (Implementation:

CHECK_STAT_CHANGE, CLASS: CL_IM_CHECK_STAT_CHANGE, BAdI

CONTAINER_PPF).

This implementation is available only as of SolMan 7.1 SP 5.

Hi Dolores,

Thanks for your useful guide!

I have a request to send email notif to many people. I follow your instruction in point 5) Email to

multiple recipients. But I've got an error.

1) In business partner, I maintained 2 email addresses.

2) In action profile ZMIV_VAR_MAIL, I keep as standard settings:

- Form AI_CRM_IM_SHORT_TEXT_LINK_FORM

- Class CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER

- Method CRM_ORDER_EXEC_SF_WL ==> To send email to multiple addresses

But email cannot be sent. Below is the action log:

Successful - Name of the Smart Form: AI_CRM_IM_SHORT_TEXT_LINK_FORM

Successful - Processing class: CL_SDK_DOC_PROC_CRM_ORDER

Successful - Processing method: CRM_ORDER_EXEC_SF_WL

Successful - Activity is not relevant; authorization check is not implemented

Error - Error when sending to [email protected]

Error - Action could not be successfully executed

If I call method CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SMART_FORM, only one email will be sent to the standard

email of the business partner.

Could you help to unblock me for this point?

Thanks very much for your support,

HL

Hi Johannes,

I implement the same concept from Dolores to SolMan 7.0 and it

works too.

Could you try firstly with the standard action of sending email to

Requester (i.e. ZMIN_STD_MAIL)? Then you maintain 2 email

addresses in Communication data of this person bp. Let's see the

result.

Please let me know your current settings so that I can assist you

Hi Houng:

You can still use a BP organization or group and even though they are not

an employee, you can bridge them to a external BP who is an actually an

employee. That way the organization will receive e-mails, as well.

We connected the two BPs via External BP Name (The group BP to the

employee BP via External BP Name). Once that reference exists, we are

receiving e-mails using the BP type group or organization in ChaRM.

The screenshots can be found in the link if you need more details.

Cesar Aranda Mar 12, 2013 8:10 PM (in response to sajin ts)

Hello Sajin,

The creation of a change request is configured by defining Request for Change as a valid

follow-on document type from the transactions you wish to create the change request from,

for example, incident and problem.

To access this configuration in Customizing, choose SAP Solution Manager → Capabilities

(Optional) → Change Management → Standard Configuration → Transaction Types →

Define Copying Control for Transaction Types.

Additionally, to define which data is copied from a source transaction type to a target

transaction type, in Customizing, choose SAP Solution Manager → Capabilities (Optional) →

Application Incident Management (Service Desk) → Follow-Up Document Creation → Specify

Mapping Rules for Copy Control.

In the incident you must select 'Create Follow-Up', This will show a dialog box with a selection

of follow-up documents. Select Request for Change of transaction type ZMCR, or of your own

making. This creates a follow-up document immediately and puts you straight into the new

Request for Change document.

Sure advise if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,

Hello Dolores,

Regarding about the More -> Send Email button from a Request for Change, I see that it is not a 'work-

alone' button, but must necessarily have a follow-up document inside the 'Related Transactions'

Assignment block, is it right?

I mean, I can probably modify actions and conditions of that button to make it work as a stand-alone

button if I wished, right?

Kindly advise,

and much life too you!

Always with my admiration, and sincere respect,

I had the error you mentioned when using the smartform AI_CRM_IM_FULL_DATA_FORM but at that

time I did not have time to solve it, so I used another form. I will try to use it in my current project and

do the change you mentioned, and see if it works. Do we still have the dump in SP8?

Hi Dolores,

Thanks for your blog.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to add a link to the CD/CR when you create an email

from the Web UI?

I can see that this functionality would be available if I created an action to send an email, but would

rather manually insert a link.

Cheers,

David

Hi Dolores, nice blog!

What is it that controls the email from the UI (the one-to-one function) ?

For the same user,if I use the SOLMANPRO Profile parameter, no problem...but if I use a Z....profile,

no mail 'client' is opened and no doc is created, although a new entry shows in related transactions

(without a doc number)

Cheers, Guy

I found the answer (but thanks anyway). For me, it was the linkID assigned to the navigation bar

profile.

Juan-Carlos Garcia-Garavito Sep 6, 2013 4:08 PM

Hi Dolores:

Very useful your contribution, which is redundant to say, but thanks once more.

About item 5, e-mail to multiple recipients, I am planning to test that out today, though it seems people

trying to work it out have not been lucky, so far.

In any case, my only comment would be that then it is kind of extra work having to update all user

accounts with other e-mail addresses, specially thinking, e.g. that if you would like to send the same

e-mail to CAB, also, then you will have to add the same e-mail account to all users or BPs in each

address tab, as explained by you.

I tried something different that it is not working, but maybe you can shed some light to tell us why or

what to do to make it to work.

In CRMC_ACTION_CONF, we took our action definition for the e-mail notification, and in the

Processing Selection, the Assigned Processings already shows an entry smart forms mail with

and empty e-mail address in the section Details of Selected Processing's Recipient tab. We guess

eventually that address gets populated with the actual BP email when the action starts definition meets

the start condition, to then deliver the email to the correspondent recipient.

Well, in that same screen, there is a create button in the same processing selection section

mentioned above, and we used it to create a new similar smart forms mail. Then, in the Details of

Selected Processing, we added the CAB e-mail address there in the Address field, with recipient

type U Internet Address. So, we have 2 smart forms mail: one with empty email address and the

other one with CAB's.

We though the action definition was going to process the 2 smartforms mails, as it is kind of logic if

the section is called assigned processings, that if there are many entries there, they will be

processed one by one, but so far we have not been able to do the processing to the second

smartforms mail.

I can not add the screensshots here due to restrictions, but they were added in

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3394526, which is being moderated as I type. I guess the content is

going to be approved soon.

We thought in CRMC_ACTION_DEF > Action Profile > Action Definition > of our e-mail action

definiton, in action determinmation and action merging > Action Mergind = Set Highest Number

of Processed Records, was going to resolve that, but it did not.

Thanks,

Juan

Hi Dolores,

I just found out this very helpful article today and thanks a lot for that. Only I have one question and I

think it's shown in the image of generated URL inside the email.

The generated URL has been cut by line, so the hyperlink isn't working. I have the same issue, do you

know how to force the whole URL to be inside on the hyperlink?

Thanks a lot,

Best Regards,

Achmad

Hi Dolores,

We are using SAP R/3 4.6C, but for incident management we are using SM of our SAP Support

partner. I asked them if there is an opportunity to send an email to SM with incident number in the

subject and this way to communicate with SM from external organisation. The answer was that this is

not implemented yet and SM doesn't allow this! Now I am getting info or whatever needed and paste it

in SM and vice versa, thus playing the role of a SAP connector between SAP users and SM.

I am relatively new for SAP and I have no rights to do any customization in SM, but I'll forward your

advice to the technical support guy in SAP Support partner to see your comments.

Regards,

O.Nikolov

Hi Dolores,

This guide helped us a lot.

But one question is still open.

I'm referring to section 6.2, where you mention to replace the server URL with our correct server url.

Our problem is, that development system and productive system have two different URL's.

Is there an attribute to set the URL dynamically?

I found the system ID (attribute id="%SAP_SYST-SYSID"), but how do I set host, etc.

Thanks,

Jan

Hi all, concerning mail form for ZMHF (urgent change), the link for zmhf

document="http://xxxx:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_start/default.htm?CRM-OBJECT-

TYPE=CAIC_OB_CMUC&.... does not work:-> An object type with the name CAIC_OB_CMUC was

specified that doesn't exist in Customizing.

Where and how to customize, I found CRM ->UI Framework -> UI Framework Definition -> Design

Layers, but for CAIC_OB_CMUC there is nothing maintained. SOLMAN is on SPS10, all required

switches in SFW5 are active. It works with AIC_OB_CMNC, link to change request document -> but we

need a link for the tester form urgent change... Cheers, Volker
