IT Service Management Problem Overview A problem is an incident to which one or more incidents are assigned and locked. When many incidents are locked to a problem, users process only that problem rather than processing multiple incidents individually. Nearly all functions as described for the Incident also apply to the problem. Not included in the problem are: • Unlock • Find Related Problem • Process Flow of Service Request In addition to incident functions, the problem offers: • Related Incidents assignment block to bundle incidents • Pricing, shipping and billing assignment blocks

24
IT Service Management SLA Determination and Date Calculation Service and response profiles can be assigned to several SLA-relevant objects, such as contracts, products, objects, installed bases, and sold-to parties. In the Incident, the service and response profiles can be flexibly determined from these objects based on a determination procedure. Dates like “To Do By“ can be automatically calculated based on the service and response profile information.
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
25
IT Service Management Escalation When the due date of an incident, problem, or request for change is exceeded it can be escalated by a background action. Escalation level is increased Escalation date is set
Due < Current?
The transaction can be escalated in two levels. Escalations can be lowered by a manual action in the transaction. Escalation level is reduced Escalation date is deleted

26
IT Service Management Solution Categorization Solution categories are used to classify problems, for example, as known error or problem caused by change. The solution categorization can be set after a final solution has been found. It has mainly reporting benefits to analyze the efficiency of the Problem Management.
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
27
IT Service Management Functions Based on Multilevel Categorization (1) The incident / problem can be categorized on multiple levels with several categorization blocks.
To “auto complete“ a Incident, the processor needs to select a categorization and the system can then find and copy a template which was assigned to this categorization Problems with the same categorization as entered in the Incident can be proposed by the system when choosing “Find Related Problems“ Knowledge articles with the same categorization as entered in the Incident can be proposed by the system when choosing “Find Knowledge Articles“
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
28
IT Service Management Example: Find Knowledge Articles (2)
‘Find Knowledge Articles’ finds knowledge articles which have the same categorization on header level as a incident, problem, or request for change. © 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
29
IT Service Management Dispatch Dispatching allows to assign a incident / problem to another employee or service team based on flexibly definable rules, for example if a help-desk agent cannot solve an issue remotely and wants to dispatch the incident to the 2nd level support. Rules for dispatching are set up in the Rule Modeler.
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
30
IT Service Management Knowledge Article Integration To help process the Incident, the processor can search for knowledge articles in the Incident: Knowledge Articles assignment block: Search for relevant knowledge articles via F4 help Find knowledge articles (from the “More“ button on header level): Proposes knowledge articles which have the same categorization as the Incident Suggest knowledge articles (from the Knowledge Articles assignment block): Proposes knowledge articles which are assigned to a category in the categorization schema
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
31
IT Service Management Auto Suggest Knowledge Article Alert in Interaction Center To automatically inform agents about knowledge articles matching the service transaction‘s categorization, an alert can be set up:
From the alert, the agent can: access the list of proposed knowledge articles review the knowledge articles details send the knowledge articles via e-mail
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
32
IT Service Management Business Process assignment
In the Assignment Block „Projects“ it is possible to assign any process / process step based on the Solution documentation (in transaction solar01). Multiple assignments are possible. If an incident was reported out of the Business Blueprint, the process assignment is automatically done. You can e.g. display all incidents based on Business process search
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
33
ALM Assignment Block
Centralized view on the creation source of the incident ticket. Overview information and link to a detailed view Sources could be: o Test Management o Business Processes o BP Monitoring Alert o Technical Monitoring Alert o Service Issue o 3rd party interface, etc… © 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
34
IT Service Management SAP Collaboration (1)
The Assignment Block „Sap Collaboration“ is used to create SAAp support messages. It guides the user through several steps where at the end the incident / problem will create a corresponding message in SAP Support Backbone. All the further communication with SAP can be done here Before sending a message to SAP we recommend to search in the SAP xSearch, which is search over all known SAP sources, such as SAP notes, SAP library, SAP SDN, etc.
© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
35
IT Service Management SAP Collaboration (2)
It is also possible to open a service connection to SAP and maintain login data, so SAP support employees can remote login and make an analysis. The guided procedure collects again all relevant data, that you want to send to SAP Support In case the priority is high or very high it would also be necessary to maintain Business consequences. © 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
36
IT Service Management SAP Collaboration (3)
With a prerequisite check, it will be avoided that messages would not be created, because of e.g. a mismatch with the assigned S-user and installation number. In the final step you get an overview about all data that would be send to SAP. In the AB you also would confirm the SAP message and fill in the Positive Call Closure. © 2012 SAP AG.

39
IT Service Management Business Process Monitoring Alerts
The Assignment Block shows the relevant Project or Solution and the process in which the Business Process Monitoring has detected an alert. Those alerts can automatically trigger to create an incident message. In this AB it is possible to identify which Business process is affected and if you show the alert you will get further details of the monitoring alert.

41
IT Service Management Individual actions
There are individual actions that are preconfigured in SAP Solution Manager . Most of them are bundled with conditions and are therefore processed in background. The actions that can be triggered manually could be performed in the Assignment Block „Scheduled actions“ Alternatively the actions that start a method could also be triggered in the Menu bar. Customers can use the actions to realize individual steps in the support process

Service Level Management
Service Level Management Service Level Agreements Service Level Agreements are used in SLA determination to assign the correct service profile and response profile to service transactions such as Incidents, requests for change, and service orders.
Service Level Agreements are defined with: Service Profile: It defines the time frames when the services specified in the service contract must be executed. The service windows defined in the service profile are used as a basis for calculating the start and end dates defined at service process level and the response times. Response Profile: It defines the periods within which the processing of the service in the service process item should have started, and by when the processing should have been completed. The corresponding dates (first response date and completion date) are calculated based on these periods and with reference to the service profile in the service process, which was created with reference to the contract.

Service Level Management Service Profile and Response Profile in Transactions A service profile and response profile can be assigned to a number of transactions, such as service request / incident, problem, request for change, and service order They can be determined from objects to which they have been assigned, like contract, product, Ibase, object, service or sales organization, or a specific business partner
