SAP-CIC Training Module ThreeTransaction Creation
Module Objectives • Explain the five types of transactions available in SAP CIC. • Recognize when to use each transaction type. • Demonstrate how to create a new transaction. • Identify the fields and tabs that make up General, Technical, and Claim Request transactions. • Demonstrate how to properly document customer contacts, using the appropriate fields.
The Five Transaction Types • Call records in SAP-CIC are known as “transactions”, and each transaction has a unique ten-digit transaction number. • There are six types of transactions, which can be identified by the first digit of the transaction number: • General Support transactions, which begin with ‘1’. • Technical Support transactions, which begin with ‘2’. • Claim Registration transactions, which begin with ‘3’. • Service Order transactions, which begin with ‘4’. • Service Request transaction, which begin with ‘5’ • E-mail transaction, which begin with ‘8’
When to Use General Support • General Support transactions are used when callers need general (non-technical) information. • Examples include: • Where to find owner’s manuals • Where to purchase replacement parts • Where to purchase products • What the warranty term of a product is • Contact information for other subsidiaries
When to Use Technical Support • Technical Support transactions are used when the customer needs assistance regarding the operation or installation of a product, or other technical information about a product. • Technical Support is the most commonly created transaction type, so it is the default type for each new contact. • Examples include: • Basic operational assistance/How to • Troubleshooting operational difficulties • Connecting our products to other electronic devices • Questions regarding product specifications
When to Use Claim Registration • Claim Registration transactions are used when customers make requests that are not within normal policy, and require additional consideration through escalation to the Executive Customer Relations department. • Claim deals with situations where a caller wants to voice a complaint on products, sales, or service. It is the transaction that describes the customer needs or requirements. • An example situation:The customer had his TV repaired 2 times in the last 3 months, as per the repair history. The customer states that original problem was a loud noise, and that the noise is getting worse. The customer is refusing another repair. The tier one customer service representative would inform the customer that they will escalate the case to our ECR department, who can help determine the next course of action.
When to Use Service Request • Service Request transactions are used when a product is not functioning normally, and requires repair, replacement or refund (as dictated by policy or appropriate approval). • When creating a service file the Service Request is the first half of the process. Once the initial file is created the Service Request is closed and a Service Order is immediately created. • Examples include: • When a product needs repair by an authorized facility, such as an Authorized Service Center (ASC) or Field Engineer (FE) • When a product needs to be shipped in for repair • When a product can be exchanged under warranty • When a refund for a product has been approved by ECR
When to Use Service Order • Service Order transactions are created by the system once Samsung has agreed to do something for the customer. Service Order transactions are created either immediately following the creation and closing of a Service Request or after a Claim transaction if the customer is being compensated by refund or exchange. • The Service Order allows agents to track and modify the status of a warranty claim. • Examples include: • Repair a customers unit. • Refund the customer. • Exchange a product for the customer.
When to Use E-Mail • E-mail Transactions are automatically created when a customer goes to Samsung.com and clicks on the contact us section. The interaction between the customer and the e-mail agent is documented in the E-mail transctions.
Creating a Transaction • The most common transaction types are General and Technical Support transactions, as such they are part of the main Account Identification screen.
Required Fields • Some fields in SAP-CIC are required by policy. • If you are having trouble saving a file, check the required fields.
The Transaction Field • The Transaction field is where the transaction number will appear when the transaction is saved. Although it is labeled in blue, this field cannot be edited, because its contents are generated automatically.
Entering the Model Name • The Model Name is the code that identifies the specific product that the customer is calling about. • This information should always be obtained, in order to support the specific product’s features and functionality.
Entering the Model Name (continued) • The asterisk can be used as a “wild card” to help enter valid model names. After entering a partial model name with an asterisk, there are two ways to activate the wild card search: • Click the Help button ( ) at the end of the model name field. • Do not press Enter on the keyboard; this will generate an error.
Entering the Model Name (continued) • If the wild card search returns a high number of results, the window shown below may appear. • If the search results do not automatically populate, click the search button.
Entering the Model Name (continued) • Some products are listed multiple times in SAP-CIC, with the "/XAA" or "XZA" extension, or with other extensions, such as "/XAC" or "/XAX". • The "/XAA" or "XZA" extension indicates the product was manufactured for sale in the United States market. • When there are otherwise identical model codes available, always choose the code that ends with the "/XAA" or "XZA" extension. • The "/XAA" or "XZA" extension is shown on the unit itself, so have the customer read the model number from the back of the unit to ensure the correct model name is being obtained.
Entering the Model Name (continued) • On the list of matches, double-click the appropriate model name to copy it to the Model Name field. • A description of the product will appear on the tab to the right of the transaction number.
Consumer’s Product Button • To view a list of products that the customer has already called about or registered, click the Consumer’s Product button ( ). • Double-clicking on a line will automatically populate the model name, serial number, and date of purchase fields with the existing information.
Unknown Products • If the customer cannot provide the model number of the product they are calling about, enter "unknown*" into the Model Name field. • Click on the ( ) icon to the right of the model number box. • From the Category ID selection enter a * then the product type. • Click Search. • Select the appropriate Unknown Model from the list.
Serial Number • The Serial Number (SN) is a unique alphanumeric sequence that encodes the production date and manufacturing logic of each individual unit. • In many cases, the serial number is used as an alternate method of determining the Date of Purchase (DOP). • Like the model name, this should be taken directly from the unit itself whenever possible, to ensure accuracy and completeness. • While not always necessary for General or Technical transactions, the serial number must be obtained for VOC or Service transactions.
Purchase Information • When available, enter the relevant information into the Purchased Date and Place of Purchase fields. • The Purchased Date field should be left blank unless the actual date of purchase can be verified (as dictated by policy). • The Place of Purchase should only be updated when the Purchased Date is updated. • When entering information, type the name of the company in the first field. It will validate and display the company information in the second field. If there is no information displayed in the second field manually enter the store information in the third field.
Warranty Term • The Warranty Term fields indicate how long a product is covered by the Samsung manufacturer’s warranty. • The warranty lengths and dates shown in this field are based on the information in the Model Name, Serial Number, and Purchased Date fields. • "L/P/O" indicates that from left to right, the lengths and dates shown are for Labor, Parts and "Other" coverage. • "Other" is most often used for specific parts with longer warranty lengths, such as sealed systems in refrigerators.
Inquiry Type • Inquiry Type is a set of pull-down menus used to classify the basic reason for the customer contact. • This set of fields is also known as “Symptom Codes” and “Claim Type” depending on the transaction type. • The first pull-down provides a list of general categories, while the content of the second pull-down is based on the selection made in the first.
Available Inquiry Type Codes • Others • Abandon Call • Call from other subsidiary CCC • Company / Staff Information • Joke / Miscall • Recommendation • Service • Owner Manual Information • Purchasing Parts • Repair Fees • Repair Status • Service Center Information • Warranty information • Logistics • Delivery, Installation • Shipping Label • Marketing / Sales • Advertisements, Promotions • Purchasing Products • Rebate
Status • The Status field indicates whether or not further follow-up or other action is needed in regards to the current transaction. • Pending status indicates that further action is needed to complete the transaction. • Closed status indicates that further action is not needed, and this transaction has been completed. • Transfer indicates that this call has had to be transferred to another group or department.
Status Description • The Status Description field indicates what was done to put the file in the particular Status state. • Pending call needs to be transferred, to another department, more work needs to be done for the file. • Closed the call was resolved or a different type of transaction was created. • Transfer– is only selected by the system when the call is transferred via the soft phone.
Remaining Fields • The IMEI/ESN, Reference Service, Contract No, Carrier, and Call Backfields are not used for a General Support transaction. • The Employee Responsible field indicates which representative or group is responsible for further action on a pending transaction. • The default value of the field is the specific Employee Responsible number of the current user. • To assign the transaction to another employee or group (as guided by policy), change this field to that party’s number.
Customer Comment • The Customer Comment is a free text fields, used to document specific details about customer contacts. • The Smart Form fields located here are used only for Service Request transactions, to add text to a system-generated fax. • A new incoming call should always result in the creation of a new transaction, or an entry into the Customer Comment of a pending transaction.
Customer Comment (cont) • The Customer Comment should provide as much information as possible to describe the issue the customer is experiencing, in specific detail. • Examples of information that should be documented in include error messages, operating system, and any actions performed in troubleshooting the issue, as well as the results of those attempts. • It is critical that sufficient information be included, so that the next person to work on the issue has the necessary information to research the issue without having to ask the customer repetitive questions. • For End User callbacks, include an explanation of the callback and any information as to why the issue has not been resolved. • The Customer Comment should provide a detailed description of the solution.
Saving the Transaction • To save the transaction, click in bottom left corner of the Transaction Information, directly above the Customer Comment field.
Successful Saving • If the transaction is saved successfully, the transaction number will appear in the transaction field, and in the top status area.
Customer Contact History • When a transaction is successfully saved, any text in the Customer Contact is automatically transferred to the (History) field. • The (History) fields are read-only, so any entered text cannot be edited after saving, even by the original creator.
Opening Existing Transaction to Edit • After being saved, the transaction converts to read-only mode. • To open the transaction for further editing, click in the row of buttons along between the transaction information and the Customer’s Comment field.
Exercises • Create a General Support Transaction for each of the following scenarios. Make sure to fill out all necessary fields, choose appropriate Inquiry Type codes, and save the transaction with Closed status. • Customer wants to know where to purchase a TX-S3082W. • Customer wants to know where to download a manual for that TV. • Customer wants the phone number to the parts department, to purchase a replacement remote control out of warranty.

Symptom Codes • In place of Inquiry Type, Technical and Service transactions have Symptom codes. Like Inquiry Type, Symptom codes are used to classify the basic reason for the customer contact. • Because the available Symptom codes are based on the product in question, they cannot be selected unless a model name has been entered. • All products have the same four first-level Symptom codes: Installation, Quality/Trouble, Specifications, and Usage. • The choice made at each level determines the available codes at the next level.
