Symptom
The status of a Case is not getting updated to "In Process" when an email reply is received from a Customer on the Case.
Environment
SAP Service Cloud Version 2
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure the status schema to include the necessary statuses, ensuring "Customer Action" has the Lifecycle Status "In Process"
- Send an email from the system to the customer, setting the case status to "Customer Action".
- Reply to the email from the customer side.
- Observe that the case status does not automatically change to "In Process" or "Open".
Cause
The lifecycle status is not mapped correctly to "Completed", which prevents the automatic reopening of the case when an email is received.
Resolution
Ensure that the lifecycle status is mapped to "Completed" in the status schema.
- Go to Settings
- Go to Case.
- Go to Status Dictionary Entries
- Create a custom Status of required naming convention e.g "Customer Action"
- Map it to the lifecycle status "Completed" and Assignment Status "Requestor Action"
- Save and Create
- Go to Status Schema.
- Assign the Status to the relevant Status Schema.
