4Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management

About Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management

This chapter provides suggested configurations for certain roles in Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management, including page layouts and access profiles for those roles. It also describes the following:

  • How to configure books and workflow rules for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management

  • How to add and manage users (that is, partner users) for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management

    Your company requirements might differ from the settings suggested in this chapter.

Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management for your company involves setting up user roles, users, books, and workflow rules.

The PRM administrator can set up as many roles as are required to support the brand owner’s business processes. The configuration settings described in this chapter are the suggested settings for the following roles in Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management:

  • Channel Manager role. You typically assign the Channel Manager role to one or more users in the brand owner company who are responsible for maintaining the relationship between the partner organizations and the brand owner company.

  • Partner Sales Representative role. The Partner Sales Representative role is suitable for users who are members of partner organizations. Users from partner organizations typically have access only to records that relate specifically to their partner organization.

  • Partner Administrator role. You usually give the Partner Administrator Role to one or more users in a partner organization. These users have the responsibility for creating and editing the partner users of Oracle CRM On Demand. It is recommended that you set up this role in a similar fashion to the Partner Sales Representative role, but with some additional access. Some brand owners will choose not to use this role.

Your company might require roles other than those described in this topic. Before you begin your configuration tasks, do the following:

  • Contact Customer Care to have Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management provisioned for your company, as described in Provisioning Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

  • Determine the fields, page layouts, access profiles, and roles that you must configure to support your company's business needs. Your company requirements might differ from the settings suggested in this chapter.

Migrating Fund Requests from Previous Releases

The Special Pricing Request and MDF Request record types were introduced in Release 18 to replace the Fund Requests record type. If you are currently using fund requests, then you can either continue to use them or you can manually migrate them to the Special Pricing Requests and MDF Requests record types. It is recommended that you do the latter with the current release.

You can migrate fund requests either directly after the upgrade or later, depending on your needs. After the migration, you must not use Fund Requests with Special Pricing Requests and MDF Requests, because this will be problematic. You can access the existing fund request records through the Special Pricing Request and MDF Request record types.

The manual migration to the Special Pricing Request and MDF Request record types involves using the Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management user interface and the batch update capabilities. A script is not provided. Before the migration, all of the fund request records that will be included in this process must have the record type defined as SPA or MDF.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to manually migrate fund requests.

To migrate fund requests

  1. Define the principal partner account for each migrated record.

    For more information on creating and modifying partner records, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

    For example, you can set the principal partner account as the partner organization of the record owner.

  2. Migrate the Fund Request Status field values to the Special Pricing and MDF Request Submission Status, Approval Status, and Claim Status field values as shown in the following table:

    Fund Request Field Special Pricing or MDF Request Field

    Status

    Submission Status

    Approval Status

    Claim Status

    In Process

    Not Submitted

    Blank

    Blank

    Pre-Approval Submitted

    Note: this status is set automatically after updating the Submission Status.

    Claim Approved

    1. For all fund request submission status fields except In Process, you must set Submission Status to Not Submitted, save the record, and then set it to Submitted.

    2. For all Special Pricing and MDF Request Approval Status fields except In Process and Pre-Approval Submitted, you must set the Submission Status, save the record, and then update the Approval Status.

    Note: You must ensure accurate migration of status field values, because these field values determine the logic for other record types that utilize funds.
  3. In Oracle CRM On Demand, Remove Fund Requests from User Roles, Access Profiles, Related Item lists, and so on. Replace Fund Requests with the Special Pricing Requests or MDF Requests accordingly.

    After the manual migration, the Special Pricing and MDF Request fields must map to the corresponding Fund Request fields (depending on the type of fund request) as shown in the following table:

    Fund Request Field Special Pricing Request Field MDF Request Field

    Pre-Approval Req.

About the Shared Address Functionality

Starting with Release 20, your company can choose to use the shared address functionality in Oracle CRM On Demand. If your company administrator enables the shared address functionality by selecting the Enable Shared Addresses check box on the company profile, then the addresses that users create in the Address pages can be associated with multiple account, contact, or partner records. Companies that do not have the Enable Shared Addresses check box selected use the unshared address functionality, that is, they do not share address information between any records, and the address information in each record is specific to that record. For more information about the shared address functionality and how to use it, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

Roadmap for Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management

Setting Up Page Layouts

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

It is recommended that you set up page layouts for each role that you intend to create in Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

When setting up a page layout, you can create a new layout, or you can copy or edit an existing layout. You can add fields to the page layout as well as to the sections within the page, and you can also make available the related information in the page layout.

Note: The page layouts described in this guide are the layouts for the Detail and Edit pages where users view and edit existing records of the relevant record types. You can optionally create separate layouts for the pages where users enter information for new records, and then assign those layouts to your user roles. For information about creating layouts for new record pages, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

Access for the Partner Sales Representative Role

Typically, the Partner Sales Representative role cannot update any information on the Accreditation, Certification, Course and Exam record types. Accreditations, certifications, courses, and exams are read-only for the Partner Sales Representative role.

You can implement one of the following:

  • Grant the Partner Sales Representative role read-only access to the four record types.

    It is recommended that you use this approach because it is easier to enforce, especially if you will be adding more fields to the page layouts frequently.

  • Make the fields read-only on the appropriate page layouts for the four record types.

    This approach is useful only if you want the Partner Sales Representative role to be able to update some fields on some of the four record types.

Setting Up Access Profiles for Partner Roles

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

You must set up two profiles for each partner role:

  • Default access profile. This access profile sets the access levels for records not owned by the user or by the user's group.

  • Owner access profile. This access profile sets the access levels for the records owned by the user, by the user's group, or by someone who reports to the user (if manager visibility is enabled).

Complete the steps in the following procedure for each required access profile.

To set up the default access and owner access profiles for a partner role

  1. In Oracle CRM On Demand, click the Admin link, User Management and Access Controls, and then the Access Profiles view.

  2. Click the Copy link on the appropriate profile, as follows:

    • If you are setting up a default access profile, then click the Copy link on a default access profile that is similar to the one that you want to set up.

    • If you are setting up an owner access profile, then click the Copy link on an owner access profile that is similar to the one that you want to set up.

    For information about which profiles you might copy for the new profiles, see the following:

  3. In Step 1 of the Access Profile Wizard, enter a name for the access profile.

    For example, enter Partner Sales Representative Default Access Profile or Partner Sales Representative Owner Access Profile.

  4. Go to Step 2 (Specify Access Levels), and change the access settings for the top-level profile and the related information items for the role, as necessary. For more information, see the following:

  5. Click Finish.

Privileges for the Channel Manager Role

The Channel Manager role is copied from the PRM Administrator role, and therefore the Channel Manager role initially has the same privileges as the PRM Administrator role. For the Channel Manager role, company administrators typically change some of the privilege settings.

The following table shows the privilege settings that company administrators typically change for the Channel Manager role.

Caution: Unless it is a requirement for your company, do not change the settings for the other privileges for the Channel Manager role (copied from the PRM Administrator role). If you do, then you risk interrupting data processing within Oracle CRM On Demand.

If the company administrator wants users in the partner organization to be able to select users in the brand owner company in Lookup windows, then the company administrator can enable the View Brand Owner Users in Lookup privilege in the role of the relevant users in the partner organization. The View Brand Owner Users in Lookup privilege is not enabled by default for any role, but users who have the Manage PRM Access privilege in their role can enable the View Brand Owner Users in Lookup privilege for their own role and other roles.

Role Settings for the Partner Administrator Role

Typically, the Partner Administrator role is created by copying the Partner Sales Representative role and then enabling an additional privilege for the new role. The following table shows the additional privilege that you enable for the Partner Administrator role.

Table Privilege for the Partner Administrator Role

Category Privilege Assign

PRM

Manage Users within the Partner Organization

Selected

The Manage Users within the Partner Organization privilege allows the user with the Partner Administrator role to edit and create users. Partner administrators will have access only to users within their own organization. For information about adding users to a partner organization, see Adding Partner Users.

Note: When a user in the partner organization searches for a user in a Lookup window, users in the brand owner company are never returned by the search by default. Only users in the partner organization are returned. If the company administrator wants users in the partner organization to be able to select users in the brand owner company in Lookup windows, then the company administrator can enable the View Brand Owner Users in Lookup privilege in the role of the relevant users in the partner organization. The View Brand Owner Users in Lookup privilege is not enabled by default for any role, but users who have the Manage PRM Access privilege in their role can enable the View Brand Owner Users in Lookup privilege for their own role and other roles.

Adding Partner Users

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

A partner user is a user who has the Partner Organization field populated on her user record, and thus has access to the records for that partner organization. You can configure existing users to be partner users, and you can add new partner users.

Complete the following procedures to configure partner users. You must first configure the User Admin page layout, then set up a user as a partner user.

The following procedure describes how to configure the User Admin page layout.

To configure the User Admin page layout

  1. In Oracle CRM On Demand, click Admin, and then click Application Customization.

  2. In the Record Type Setup section, click User.

  3. In the Page Layout Management section, click User Admin Page Layout.

  4. In the User Admin Page Layout page, click the name link of the page layout that you want to change (that is, the page layout for the role given to users who can create and manage other users, typically the Administrator role).

  5. Click the arrows to move the Partner Organization field to the section of the page where you want the field to appear.

  6. Click Finish to save your changes.

  7. Sign out of Oracle CRM On Demand and sign in again, to activate the changes.

The following procedure describes how to set up a user as a partner user.

To set up a user as a partner user

  1. In Oracle CRM On Demand, click Admin.

  2. In the User Management and Access Controls section, click User Management and Access Controls.

  3. On the User Management and Access Controls page, click User Management.

  4. On the User List page, do one of the following:

    • To add a new user, click New User.

    • To edit an existing user, click the Edit link beside the user name.

  5. In the Partner Organization field on the User Edit page, click the lookup icon, and choose the partner organization with which the user is to be associated.

  6. Save your changes.

Process of Configuring Books and Workflow Rules for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

Your company can use books and workflow rules to manage user access to partner account records and their associated records. Typically, companies create one book for each partner organization, but it is also possible to use multiple books for one partner organization.

To configure books and workflow rules for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management, perform the following tasks:

  1. Creating the Partner Organization Book Type

  2. Creating Books for Partner Accounts

  3. Configuring Workflow Rule Actions to Synchronize Partner Accounts

Creating the Partner Organization Book Type

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Books and Workflow Rules for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

To support the use of books for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management, the PRM administrator creates the partner organization book type. Complete the steps in the following procedure to create the partner organization book type.

To create the partner organization book type

  1. In Oracle CRM On Demand, click Admin, and then click Application Customization.

  2. In the Record Type Setup section, click Book.

  3. In the Book Application Customization page, click Book Field Setup.

  4. Click the Edit Picklist link for the Book Type field.

  5. Enter the value, Partner Organization, in the picklist, and save your changes.

    For more information about editing picklist fields, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

Creating Books for Partner Accounts

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Books and Workflow Rules for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

After the PRM administrator has created the partner organization book type, the channel manager must create books for partner accounts. Complete the steps in the following procedure to create books for partner accounts.

To create books for partner accounts

  1. Select the book type of the partner organization.

  2. Select the appropriate partner in the Partner field.

  3. Save the record.

  4. Edit the Book record, and add the users who want access to the partner’s organization.

    The users added are those people in the partner organization who always have access to the record to which the book is added.

Note: You can optionally create subbooks for your partner account books. For information about creating books and book hierarchies, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

How Books Are Associated with Records

When a partner account is linked to another record, the linked record can also be associated with the partner organization’s book. A book can be associated with a record in two ways:

  • By adding the book to the Book related information list on a record. You can use numerous books to represent a grouping of partner users. The books do not all need to be defined as type: Partner Organization, and they do not all need to have a partner defined. Books with the partner defined will be synchronized to records if the workflows described in this topic are used within the brand owner’s implementation. If you want only one partner book synchronized based on the workflow rules, then you have only one book for each partner with the partner defined. Define the other books used for partner users without the specified partner.

  • Automatically, through a workflow rule. You can create workflow rules with Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management specific actions to support the automatic association and dissociation of partner accounts and partner organization books with records. For example, you can use workflow rules to ensure that when a partner account is linked to an opportunity, the partner organization's book (or books) is also automatically added to the opportunity. This provides visibility to the opportunity record for all users of the partner organization (that is, the users who are associated with the partner organization’s book) at one time. Or, you can create a workflow rule that automatically links a partner account to a record when a book associated with the partner account is associated with the record. The workflow rule also removes the partner organization’s book from a record when the partner account is unlinked from the record. When a partner organization’s book is removed from the record, the users of the partner organization no longer have visibility to the record by means of the book.

    Note: When you trigger the workflow actions for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management, the partner book that was created automatically does not function properly. Only the manually created books function properly in workflows with Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

Configuring Workflow Rule Actions to Synchronize Partner Accounts

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Books and Workflow Rules for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.

Complete the following procedure to configure workflow rule actions to synchronize partner account information.

To configure a workflow rule action to synchronize partner account information

  1. In Oracle CRM On Demand, click Admin, and then click Workflow Configuration.

  2. In the Workflow Rules List page, click New.

  3. In the Workflow Rule New page, create and save the workflow rule as follows:

    1. Enter the name of the workflow rule.

    2. Select the Active check box.

    3. In the Record Type field, select Opportunity.

    4. In the Trigger Event field, select When New Record Saved.

    5. Save the workflow rule.

    For more information about working with workflow rules, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

About Workflow Rule Actions Specific to Managing Partner Accounts

The following workflow rule actions are specific to managing partner accounts:

  • Sync Partner Books. Synchronizes the book associations when a partner account is a separate record not associated with the book. When the relationship of the account to that record is removed, the associated partner books are removed. Associated partner books are books where the partner is defined for the specific partner account. For example, when Partner Account A is linked to an opportunity record, all books defined as Partner A are also associated with the opportunity. If the association between the partner account and the opportunity is broken, then this workflow action removes the books for that partner account.

  • Sync Book Partner. Links a partner account to a record when a book associated with the partner account (and Partner field is specified on the book) is associated with the record. This workflow action also removes the partner account relationship from a record when a book associated with the partner account is removed from the record.

    If multiple books are associated with that partner account, then other books associated with the partner account are also synchronized with the record.

  • Sync Owner Partner. When the record owner is a partner user and the partner organization is populated in the user record, the workflow synchronizes the record owner's partner account, and its associated books with the record. (Associated books are all books associated with that partner using the Partner field.) If the owner is changed, then all the books for the original partner are removed and that partner account is removed. An owner is automatically added to the team when the owner is added to the record. The user will also remain on the team if the user is removed from the Owner field.

Record Types for Which Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management Workflow Rule Actions Are Supported

The record types that support workflow rule actions for partner accounts are as follows:

  • Account

  • Lead

  • Opportunity

  • Fund

  • Fund Credits

  • Fund Debits

  • Partner Program

Note: The record type and the trigger event for a workflow rule determine which workflow rule actions are available for the workflow rule.

The following table describes the configuration of workflow rule actions for partner relationship management.

Table Workflow Actions for Partner Accounts

Workflow Rule Action Configured for a Specific Record Trigger Event and Outcome Comments

Sync Partner Books

Child Record (For example, Account Partner)

When new record is saved. All books associated with the partner account are associated with the child record.

None

Before record is deleted. All books associated with the partner account are removed from the child record.

None

Before modified record is saved. If the partner account on the child record was changed, then all books associated with the previous partner account are removed from the child record.

None

When modified record is saved. If the partner account on the child record was changed, then all books associated with the new partner account are associated with the child record.

None

Sync Book Partner

Child record for the book (For example, Account Book)

When new record saved. The book's partner account is associated with the child record for the book. All other books associated with the partner account are also associated with the child record for the book.

Before record is deleted. The book's partner account is removed from the child record for the book.

Removing a book makes the partner account child record inactive, but it does not delete it. However, removing a partner account child or making it inactive, deletes the book.

Sync Owner Partner

Parent Record (Example: Lead)

When new record saved. The record owner's partner account is associated with the parent record. All books associated with the partner account are also associated with the parent record.

Before modified record saved. If the owner of the parent record was changed from a partner user, then the previous owner's partner account is removed from the parent record. All other books associated with the previous record owner's partner account are also removed from the parent record. (Using this workflow action in this instance is optional depending on your business rules.)

When modified record saved. If the owner of the parent record was changed to a partner user, then the new owner's partner account and associated books are associated with the parent record.

To ensure that the book information is synchronized, you must specify the workflow rules with the When new record saved trigger, and a rule with the When modified record is saved trigger.

However, depending on your company's business rules, you may or may not choose to set up a rule using the Before modified record saved trigger, if your business rules dictate that changing an owner does not necessarily remove the previous owner's partner account and books from the record type.

Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management Workflow Actions

There are a number of workflow actions that are specific to Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management. Each type of these workflow actions is listed in the following tables. The workflows are listed in the sort order in the Workflow Rules List view.

When a partner book association with a record is changed, the workflow changes the partner account association with the record, as shown in the following table.
