Capturing Adverse Events and Complaints as Service Requests
The creation of the service request by the call center agent is often the first step in AECM. The following procedure assumes that you are familiar with the service request screen and associated functionality. (For information about the service request screen, see Siebel Field Service Guide.) This task is a step in Process of Capturing and Escalating Adverse Events and Complaints. To create a service request
- Navigate to the Service Requests screen, then the Service Request List view.
- In the Service Request list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields, such as account, contact, product, summary, and description.
Some fields are described in the following table.
|
|
Codes |
Codes to describe or categorize the service request. |
Lot # |
Select an existing lot number or enter a new lot number. You can enter a new lot number in one of two ways:
- Formally enter a new lot number using the New button on the Lot Setup dialog box.
- Use the Lot # field as a simple text field. If you enter a Lot # this way, the value is only stored in this product issue record and is not checked against a table of valid lot numbers. This does not create a new lot # record in the Lot Administration view.

Product Issue |
This is automatically flagged if the service request is escalated to a product issue. |
