SAP CRM offers a comprehensive platform to manage customer service processes, and developing robust service analytics within SAP-ABAP-CRM enables organizations to extract meaningful insights from service data.
This article outlines the key steps and best practices for developing CRM Service Analytics using ABAP in the SAP CRM context.
Service analytics in SAP CRM focus on analyzing service orders, service contracts, interaction records, and customer feedback to measure service performance, identify bottlenecks, and enhance customer satisfaction.
Key metrics typically include:
The primary data for service analytics reside in CRM transactional tables such as:
CRMD_SERVICE: Service order header dataCRMD_SERVIC_I: Service order item dataCRMD_ACTIVITY_H: Activities and interaction historyCRMD_CUSTOMER_FEEDBACK: Customer feedback and surveysAdditionally, master data tables like BUT000 (Business Partner) provide customer context.
Developers typically use Open SQL and BAPIs to extract and aggregate service-related data.
Example snippet to retrieve service orders and their status:
SELECT service_order, status, created_on
INTO TABLE @DATA(lt_service_orders)
FROM crmd_service
WHERE status IN ('OPEN', 'IN_PROCESS')
ORDER BY created_on DESC.
To ensure performance, complex data extraction should use joins and filters efficiently.
Many organizations require custom KPIs like average response time or technician efficiency:
CDS Views offer advanced modeling for analytics by:
For example, a CDS view can present service orders grouped by status and priority, with average handling times calculated.
Developers can build reports using:
Interactive drill-down reports allow service managers to analyze detailed case data behind summarized KPIs.
Utilize CRM Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) or Change Documents to trigger analytics updates in real-time when service orders change status or new feedback is recorded.
This ensures that dashboards and reports reflect the most current data without batch delays.
