2682989 - Collaboration Window is Not Launching Automatically When Clicking Call Company

Symptom

You want to use the Collaboration Window to perform calls to customers, but when you click on the Call Company button of the Accounts view, instead of launching the Collaboration window, the system is launching a Skype call.

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Account Management work center, in Accounts view.
  2. Select an account.
  3. In the Details section, under the Main Address, click on the Call Company button.
  4. See a Skype call gets launched.

Cause

The Skype call is getting launched instead of the Collaboration Window, because the question "Do you want to integrate with an SAP-qualified telephony integration solution?" to activate the business option responsible to integrate the system with the Collaboration Window is not enabled in the solution scope.

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center, in Implementation Projects view.
