SAP CRM 7.0 can be installed in two variations
• SAP CRM Core with CRM Java Components
• SAP CRM Core without CRM Java Components, because some business
scenarios run with CRM Application Server ABAP only.
For more information, see also www.service.sap.com/instguides.
In customer landscapes the CRM system typically interacts with other
SAP products. Each of those SAP products needs to be sized separately
according to its sizing guidelines www.service.sap.com/sizing.
Note! For the CRM on-demand solution (SAP’s hosted version of CRM) a
separate purely based on user numbers Sizing Questionnaire is available

available with SAP CRM 7.0:
B2C Marketing
CRM Interactive Reporting (OLTP Reporting)

Some CRM scenarios are not relevant for sizing
Account and Contact Management in Sales : only small overhead on CRM / usually not
relevant
Incentive and Commission Management in CRM: runs within the ICM engine of ECC,
transferring CRM documents and BW data to ICM/ECC. Requires CRM Server ABAP, ECC,
BW. Only small overhead on CRM / usually not relevant
Sales Planning: mainly BI activity, only small overhead on CRM
General Rules for Sizing SAP CRM
Users working in different areas (for example CRM-ACT and CRM-SRV)
•
•
Assign to the more resource expensive sizing element
CRM-ACT
CRM-OPP
CRM-SLS
CRM-SRV (resource consumption grows from left
to right)
Users working in an Interaction Center
•
•
•
Calculate such user as IC-USERS - top level navigation steps to the targeted functionality
are considered for IC-User
Calculate the same user additionally in one of the application areas he/she works most: the
same user appears twice in the QS, but make sure that the top navigations of IC-USER do
not overlap with the application area navigations, as this would be significant over-sizing.
Usually customers believe to have only “highly active” (10 seconds think time) IC users, but
the majority of the IC users are “medium active” (30 seconds think time). Take care not to
oversize.
Treat other types of incoming customer contacts (e.g: emails) like calls
•
Only writing into queues is contained in the Quick Sizer figures
Additional overhead depending on the type of connection/transfer
Typically in SAP environments add 10% extra load of those business objects which are
exchanged (most important CRM sales orders, but not ERP sales order as they are
created in the ECC system)
Consider updates of those business objects in CRM, for example sales order is set to
“finally delivered” or “billed” in ERP system and the update is sent to CRM (fill in %changes
column)
Do not forget to fill %changes and %displays
•
•
•
In some businesses change and display activities are part of the business, especially in the
service industry
When working with different support levels: Messages are created by one person of the
first level, viewed and changed by another person of the second support level
Follow-up activities are frequently displayed and changed
Upgrade sizing of CRM depends on the upgrade path
•
•
Major changes in UI technology and business process flows between SAP CRM 5.0 and
SAP CRM 5.2
Significant adaptations to advanced HANA features in SAP CRM 7.1.2
Upgrade Path
