SAP CRM - Business Transactions
In this chapter, we will learn about the various types of business transactions used in SAP CRM.
By using business transactions in CRM, the basic functions can be easily processed. The transaction type defines the attribute of business transactions, whether it is a service order, sales order, service ticket, etc. or how the transaction is processed.
Structure of Business Transactions
Business Transactions include the following tables −
Primary Header Table − CRMD_ORDERADM_H which is also known as ORDERADM_H.
Primary Item Table − CRMD_ORDERADM_I which is also known as ORDERADM_I.
These tables are then related to various segments through a linkage table known as CRMD_LINK. Examples of its segments are CRMD_ACTIVITY_H and CRMD_PRODUCT_I.
Business Transaction Types and Categories
You can assign business transactions to one or more transaction categories. While defining a business transaction category, you define one business transaction category as the leading category and also its sub categories.
A Business transaction type defines −
- Attributes
- Characteristics
- Controlling attributes
Example
Consider a sales order with business activity data that has sales as leading a transaction category and business activity as another transaction category type.
This leading transaction category defines the customizing option for a transaction type. You also define an item category for business transaction type and can also define additional categories.
You define business transactions in Customizing. Go to SPRO → IMG → Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Basic Settings.
Assignment of Business Transaction Types −
Go to SPRO → IMG → Customer Relationship Management → Transactions → Basic Settings → Define Transaction types.
Select the transaction and go to Assignment of Business Transaction.
You can select the Business Transaction type from the drop down list.
The business transaction categories are defined by SAP and correspond to the business object types in the business object repository.
For example −
- Sales ("BUS200115")
- Service Process ("BUS200116")
- Business Activity ("BUS200126")
A business transaction category determines the business context in which a business transaction or an item can be used. It determines the following things −
The maximum allowed structure of a certain type of transaction.
The objects of which the transaction category consists.
The secondary transaction categories with which the transaction category can be combined.
The item object types of which the transaction category consists, and hence the objects of which the item object type consists
