Campaign Management enhancements

Function:

With the ByDesign 1602 release, the following functional enhancements in Campaign

Management will be provided.

• Automatic Lead Generation on response upload for Campaign

• Allow addition of Lead as a member in Target Group

• Addition of Active Campaign View to Target Group

• Allow addition of attachments in an active campaign

Business Value:

Plug important functional gaps within the marketing campaigns area with functionality most

demanded by customers and partners.

The enhancements will provide customers more flexibility in defining target group and will also

help to monitor campaigns being run on various target groups.


Enhancements to Service Quotes

Function:

It is now possible to enter spare parts while creating service quotes. Also the Output

History is now available.

Business Value:

The customer can now request for a service quote for a specific spare part. The

service is delivered based on the availability of the spare part and the pick-up

indicator set for the material.


Non-billable items for service orders

Function:

It is now possible to create service orders containing items that can be marked as

non-billable, thus excluding the items from invoices.

Business Value:

During creation of the service orders, there could be items that do not need to be

billed; Eg: internal maintenance orders.

With this feature, it would be possible to complete the service order items that are

not billable by completing the delivery process.


Interactive Form for Contracts

Function:

With ByD1602, interactive forms for contracts is available.

Business Value:

The sales employee and customer can now exchange contract information based

on the templates defined in the system. The updated information is sent via mails.

It is possible to update the existing contract in the system based on the interactive

form.


Extension Scenario in Over-the-counter sales

Function:

A new set of custom fields can be added in an Account which can be extended to

Over-the-counter sales document.

Business Value:

During creation of the Over-the-counter sales document, the user might need to add

additional information with respect to the account. By adding custom fields, in the

accounts the customer can achieve this.


Cost and profit margin in Over-the-Counter sales

Function:

It is now possible to calculate the cost and profit margin for Over-the-Counter(OTC)

sales document.

Business Value:

This allows the customer to decide if the sales employee should be allowed to view

the profit margin during the Over-the-counter sales. This feature enables the sales

person to make informed decisions on how much discount can be offered for a

material being sold over the counter.


Data Segregation in Customer Demand and Stock Transfer

Proposal

Function:

It will now be possible to support the access restriction for customer demand and

stock transfer proposal based on the access assigned to the user.

Business Value:

Currently customer demand does not support access restriction even if it is

assigned to a user. Because of this a user from one company can see the demands

of other company or sites for which he should not have access to.

This functionality will enable the customers to control the access to customer

demand and stock transfer proposal.


Automatic warranty assignment

Function:

It will now be possible to automatically assign warranty for registered products in

outbound delivery process.

Business Value:

The registered products can be created automatically in outbound delivery process,

but warranty assignment was not supported.

automatically assigned for each registered product based on the product master

data.

This functionality will reduce the manual effort for the customers.

Customer can now define defaulting criterion for form template selection and output

channel selection for created PO with additional attributes of Company, Supplier

and Purchasing unit.

Business Value:

This will enable customer to define their form template selection and output channel

selection with more flexibility.

settings during creation of each purchase order.


Individual Material Items handling in Purchasing

Function:

New checks have been implemented for valid Individual material at PO and GSA

level. There are also restrictions on number of Individual Material Items that can be

added in a single Purchase Order/Goods and Service Acknowledgment.

Business Value:

Earlier, some of the checks for valid Individual Material was not done during release

of PO/GSA, but at a later point during the lifecycle of the document, it resulted in the

documents getting stuck in accounting.

At times customer had to cancel these documents and recreate with different data

set. With the new checks in place during creation of the document, it is possible to

avoid such issues at a later point in time.

Further, there are restrictions on the number of Individual Material Items in single

document(PO/GSA) to avoid performance issues during posting of the purchasing

documents in accounting.


Interactive form enhancements for Purchase Orders

Function:

It is now possible to add custom fields in Purchase Order interactive forms and to

edit prices in interactive forms.

Business Value:

With this new enhancement, supplier can send PO acknowledgments with actual

prices via Interactive forms.

Support of custom fields for purchase order document would be helpful for

customers to send information based on the extensions defined to the suppliers.
