This workflow is used for the E-Mail Response Management System (ERMS) in the Interaction Center.
ERMS allows automated processing of inbound e-mails received via SAPconnect. E-mails can be automatically responded to or routed to an agent group for manual processing. An inbound communication triggers the workflow template WS00200001
, which controls the work
item processing and fulfills several tasks.
The following system tasks are the most important:
Determining the responsible agent group and routing the work item to that group
Deleting and stopping further manual processing
For a complete list of tasks, see the workflow template WS00200001
in the workflow definition tools.
ERMS configuration activities are completed. For more information, see SAP Solution Manager.
The incoming e-mail is received.
Task TS00207915 ERMS Rule Execution
invokes the service manager.
The service manager provides capabilities (necessary to process e-mails) such as fact gathering, content analysis, and rule processing.
Depending on the outcome of the service manager invocation, the system continues processing the work item by one of the following steps:
Delete
You can determine when the system deletes an item by using a rule, for example, in cases of junk e-mail (spam). Task TS66107918 ERMS Delete E-Mail
removes the office document. The workflow is ended.
Do not process further
You define when processing is stopped in either a rule or in one of the services in the service manager.
Route
Task TS00207914 ERMS Decision
forwards the work item to an agent or agent group as selected by the processor determination.
The processor determination decides which agents are responsible for a work item. Task TS00207914 determines which agents or agent groups are eligible for processing e-mails. The actual determination of which agent or agent group receives the work item is defined in rules.
