Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide > Managing Service Requests with Siebel PRM > About Managing Partners' Service RequestsPartners often encounter situations in which they need assistance from the brand owner because they have questions about the partnership, requests for marketing collateral, questions about commission payments, or other questions. Your partners can use the Self-Service screen in the Siebel PRM Portal to log service requests, or if they have questions about the partnership, questions about using Siebel PRM software, or any other questions or needs that require personal service. To reduce the number of service requests you receive, you can create a repository of FAQs, solutions, and SmartScripts to help partners solve their own problems without logging service requests. These are covered in Solutions and SmartScripts with Siebel PRM. NOTE: Be sure to tell your partners to use the Self-Service screen of the Siebel PRM Portal to log their own service requests. The Service screen is used to log customer service requests. Assigning Service RequestsYour company's service requests are listed in the Siebel PRM Manager and other Siebel Business Applications in the All Service Requests view of the Service screen. As they are received, each request is assigned to the appropriate service agent. After the service agents resolve service requests, they change their status to Closed. You can assign service requests in two ways:

Scenario Using Partner Self-ServiceThe following scenario shows how a partner might use a service request to get marketing materials. One of your partners wants to organize a marketing event such as an executive seminar about partner relationship management. It needs to get appropriate marketing material from you for this event, where it displays both your brand name and its own brand name. The partner logs a service request for the marketing materials through the Self-Service screen in the Siebel PRM Portal. The service request is routed to the appropriate person at the brand owner company by Assignment Manager, or it is assigned manually by the person responsible for assigning service requests at the brand owner company. The service agent fulfilling the service request follows up by finding the appropriate marketing material and routing it to the partner. |
