Complaint (Incident)
A Complaint (Incident) is an unplanned interruption to an IT
service, or a non-
standard occurrence in a specific SAP functional module which
causes unplanned
interruption to the IT service or may reduce the quality of a
service immediately or in the
near future. An incident appears to the user as unexpected system
behavior, such as:
- An unexpected or unclear error message on the screen
- Incorrect or missing data
- System performance problems
When an incident is recorded on the SAP Solution Manger i.e.
Solman, it is generally
a break/fix issue which involves some configuration change or new
non-standard
functional development in SAP. An example of an incident – “TGPA or
CGPA scores
of a student are with erroneous calculation”
