Resolution

As per the existing solution design, the assumption is that complaints related to different invoices (for example) are captured in separate cases.

  • Creating separate cases for complaints originating from different invoices, even if they refer to the same product.
  • Each case can then contain complaint items that is clearly associated with its respective invoice.

For any changes in the design, the customer is advised to post their requirement/vote for the requirement on the SAP Sales and Service Cloud Version 2 & SAP Enterprise Service Management Influence site
