Creating New BPs


Name Fields

• If searching for a BP does not provide any results a New BP must be created.

• To create a new BP click on the button.• Start by entering first and last name in the (First/Last Name) fields.

Leave the Customer type selection to customer.• The Gender and Type fields should be left blank.


• The Account section has fields to accommodate up to four telephone numbers:– Home for the customer’s home phone number.

– Office for the customer’s office phone number.

– Mobile for the customer’s mobile phone number.

– Fax for the customers fax number.

• A space should be entered between the area code and the rest of the phone number.

• The space to the right of the office phone is for an extension.• If the customer only has a mobile number it needs to be listed in the

Home field and in the Mobile field.

Phone Numbers


E-mail Address

• The E-Mail field is used to enter the BP’s email address. An email address should be obtained whenever possible.

• When an e-mail address is obtained, representatives must then ask if the customer wishes to receive promotional messages. The customer's response to this is documented by the checkmark located to the right of the e-mail address field.– If the customer accepts promotional messages, check the box.

– If the customer does not accept, or has no e-mail address do not check the box.


• Enter the zip code of the customer first. Once the zip code is entered press Enter; the system will verify if the customer is listed as a public address with InfoUSA.

• If the customer is not listed SAP-CIC will backfill the customers city and state automatically.

• If required enter the customer’s street address in the primary street field.

• The customers Country and Language will default to United States and English.

Physical Address


• The Preference dropdown is used to indicate which means of communication the customer prefers us to use as the primary means of contact.

Preference Contact


• Click on the Account Section to save the new BP.

Saving the New BP


• The SAP-GCIC system will verify the information of the BP against all existing BP’s when the save button is pressed.

• A popup screen will appear indicating all the existing BP’s that match the customer via Name, Phone Number, or E-mail.

• To select an existing BP double click on the box on the far left.

• To request that the BP that is in the system is removed click on the checkbox for Deletion.

• Once the box is checked an e-mail will be sent to the system administrator informing them of the duplicate BP and asking them to remove the BP that is checked.

Duplicate BP


• To begin working with this BP, click in the Account section.

• Once the BP is confirmed the name of the BP will populate in the first text box– (the same process as using a BP found in a search).

Successful BP Creation


Minimum Fields and SEA ANY

• While we should always obtain as much information as possible, the minimum requirements for creating a BP are the customer’s first and last name, plus at least one of the following:– Phone/Ext– Mobile Phone– Email Address

• If a customer refuses to provide enough information to create a BP, click the Dummy button to create a SEA Any account.

• The minimum fields and the “SEA ANY” BP are for emergency use only! They are only available for general and technical inquiries.


Exercises

• Create at least two BP's for yourself. Feel free to use fictional names and contact information.

• Take note of the BP Number for each BP you create.

• Share your BP numbers with your classmates, and look up their BPs by name, phone number, or BP number.


Searching for Existing BPs


Using the Account Section

• The initial function of the BP section of SAP-CIC is searching for an existing customer.

• The search can be based on the BP’s name, phone number, e-mail address, transaction number, or physical address.

• To search, enter the known information, then click the search button.


Using the Account Section (cont.)

• When entering a phone number, hyphens or spaces do not need to be entered.

• If only part of a field is known, the asterisk may be used as a “wild card”. – For example, a search for “Ste*” would find “Steve”, “Stevie”

“Steven”, “Stephen” or “Stephanie” if we are not sure how the name is spelled in the customer’s account.


Multiple Search Results

• If more than one BP matching the given information is found, the matching BP’s will be displayed in the Results list section.

• When this occurs, request additional information from the caller to determine if they are one of the existing BPs.

• If so, double-click the line which matches the current BP’s contact information.

• If not, click the clear button on the far right of the bottom of the search area to clear the results.


Search Result in the Account Section

• When only one matching BP is found, or after you have selected from the list of matching BPs, the details for that BP will appear in the Account Section of SAP-CIC


• To use this BP, you must Confirm it, by clicking in the Account section.

• Once the BP is confirmed, the BP result list will automatically convert to the Contact History.

• When the BP is confirmed the name of the BP will also populate in the first text box.

Confirming Search Result


Clearing BP Information

• To clear all BP and transaction information, click End above the Account section.– In practice, this is used after each call to clear the previous

customer's information.

• To clear only the BP information, without changing the transaction or losing transaction data, click to the right of the save and confirm button.


Searching for BPs by Product Information


Using the Model Number

• SAP also allows for users to search for an existing BP, by entering the serial number and model number.

• Once the serial and model number have been entered click on the button.

• A list of all BP’s that match that search criteria will be displayed.

• Double click on a line to have that BP populate.


Editing Existing BPs


Editing Unconfirmed BPs

• The fastest way to edit a BP’s information is to edit the information before clicking the Confirm button.

• To do this, enter the updated information in the Account section, then click Save, just as if you were creating a new BP.


• To edit a confirmed BP:– Click on the icon to allow the BP for editing, – Once the changes have been made press the save button,– Then press the confirm button.

Editing Confirmed BPs


• Change or add information for one of your BPs that was created in the previous exercise. Edit before confirming.

• Look up the other BP you created, and confirm it. Then, practice the process of returning the BP to an unconfirmed state, and edit the BP.

• Look up a BP created by a classmate, and edit their BP.
