SAP CRM - Activity Management
Activity management in CRM is used to administer the activities assigned to employees in an organization. The data in an activity is a very important source of information for all the employees that are relevant for that information.
Activities in CRM are used to record sales activities. Some other common activities also include emailing or a telephone call or a customer visit or a follow up call, request to set the status to complete etc. in the CRM lifecycle. Appointments, interactions logs can be marked as private. You can also create activities as subsequent documents for a wide variety of other business transactions, such as opportunities, leads, sales orders, or contracts.
Activity management can be performed at any time during CRM lifecycle. When a customer contract is about to expire, you can make a telephone call to the customer (activity) as a follow up document to remind the employee responsible to make the follow up call to the customer and to check if they are willing to renew the contract.
You can easily integrate activity management with CRM Mobile and also with emails i.e. Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes. This allows employees to connect to the sales cycle and to keep a track of the appointments and activities.
To attach fact sheets with activities, this can be done by going to SPRO → IMG → CRM → Transactions → Settings for Activities → Attach Fact Sheet to Activities
