Symptom
When replying to a Service Request created via e-mail, the reply is not recorded in the Service Request document, instead a new Service Request is being created in the system.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a new Service Request by sending a e-mail to service.request@myABC.mail.sapbydesign.com (where myABC represents the Tenant Number).
- Open the Business ByDesign system.
- Go to the New Business Work Center.
- Go the Service Requests View.
- Search for the Service Request created via E-mail.
- Open, Select View All.
- Navigate to the General tab.
- Select the Main Information sub tab.
- Select Notes and History.
- Select Add -> Reply to Customer.
- Select Submit button.
- Open the e-mail app.
- Respond to new e-mail generated from the Service Request.
When responding the e-mail, a new Service Request document is created in the Business ByDesign system. The response is not recorded on the Service Request document previously created.
Cause
Updating Service Request via e-mail is currently not possible in the Business ByDesign system. It is only possible to create Service Requests from incoming e-mails.
Resolution
This is currently the standard system behavior.
In this case, it is required to manually update the Service Request documents with the responses.
