Business Partner Interaction Management

The purpose of this process is to manage interactions between a Business Partner and the enterprise. Interactions can be triggered by the enterprise (as a result of a query or complaint) or by the Business Partner (for example sending bills or other notifications.) All interactions are logged by the enterprise in order to provide a full track record of the activity to the enterprise representatives. Interactions may be short lived (such as in the case of a query that is answered immediately) or may take long time to complete (such as in the case of complex orders or requests concerning back office intervention). When interactions are long the process is in charge of making sure the Business Partner and enterprise are notified in a timely manner about the progress of the request. Interaction history may be used by BI systems in order to gather information about Business Partner profile and satisfaction.  Interactions can span over multiple channels (such as: phone calls, web self-service and devices.) each Business Partner involved in the interaction has a role that mandates its credentials. For some interactions users may need to login/authenticate themselves in order to get the appropriate role assigned to them.<br/>
