Dears,
I have read many notes and BPs (like C39) about channel "letter" for campaigns and I do not see there anything that an end user could easy use.
I mean the scenario where the prints are done at customers site by CRM, and not at third party based on exported file with customers from target group.
I see the possible mailform fillin on campaign when I choose OpenChannel as a communication channel, and think this could be something
interesting for me. I would like to make a functionality where as for emails, mailform would be set on campaign and when execution, prints will be loaded to spool.
Has anybody any experience in configuration for letter channel in CRM 7 when self printing was to be done?
Regards
Radek
Hi Radoslaw,
I thing you can use Action profile for the desired functionality.
Condition would be:
if ( campaign status = Executed) then Print the campaign details.
You can go through http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/Action+profiles+in+SAP-CRM for further details on action profile creation using smart forms.

Thx,
so on campaign I would only need channel like "Activities with print" and field for choosing smartform?
<user should choose smartform on campaign level>.
Regards
Radek
Yes, on campaign level. Technically it should work.
have you implemented sth like this?
any performance problems?
all the activities should print automatically to 1 printer?
Regards
Radek
No, I have not implemented but I know that the feature exists.
Hello Radoslow,
Unfortunately, in CRM 7.0 you will not be able to print mail forms as you did in CRM 5.0. You can use CRM and the file export function to export the data then use a third party tool to format and print the letters. Another option would be to create an Open chennel BADI that uses the code from the old CRM version.
thanks
Willie
Hi Willie,
what code from CRM 5 are you writing about (you mean badi CRM_MKT_EXP_CAMP_DAT) ?

Hello, Radek.
Actually the letter channel was missed and there are notes for SAP CRM 7.0 Ehp1:
Note 1573981 - A channel is missing in EHP1
Note 1587963 - A channel is missing
which enable it. May be this will help you.
Hi Letter has been re-introduce also for EHP0 as far as I know. There is an old discussion by Gregor Wolf about this topic
Thx Andrei, I know these notes and I have them in my system but I do not fully understand how it works. Can you please post example user steps for such letter campaign? (how the print is done - from activity or any bulk job)
Regards
Radek
I create new comm channel for Marketing with comm medium = 4.
I had to create form for letter but could do it only in tcode CRMD_EMAIL - I did not find any place in web ui to create it. I had also to create print profile for campaign. And later I set it all on campaign, and it works.
Regards
Hello Radoslaw,
where did you create the Print Profile, I am trying to set up the channel letter campaigns but finally I am not able to create the print profile.
Thanks a lot for any hints.
Best regards,
André
Hello,
it was a bit long time ago so I hardly remember. possibly it was some maintenance view (sm30) where such profile could be created. please try with V_CRMC_IM_PRINT
