SAP Sales Cloud & Service Cloud Release 2508

Platform & Integration

V1 to V2 Transition Tools

SAP has improved its Readiness Check Tool (RCT) and Data Transfer Tool (DTT) to help customers who move from V1 to V2

• The Readiness Check Tool (RCT) now includes object-wise attachment information which allows for better effort estimation and optimization during migration.
• Data Transfer Tool (DTT) introduces:
  • The default “Data Only” mode should be used for test transfers
  • The system allows users to track migration progress through the transfer history feature
  • New object onboarding such as Territories and Competitor Products
  • Support for Notes (Hypernotes) and extension fields (address, sales arrangement, etc.)
  • Integration of Product Group External IDs

The implemented improvements reduce migration work and improve visibility and enable adaptable solutions for complex data transfer operations.

WalkMe Integration

SAP has embedded WalkMe, a digital adoption platform, into C4C:

• Content Flows in WalkMe Panel guide users through topic-wise tours of product capabilities
• Premium WalkMe content can be linked for custom flows

Benefits: faster onboarding, higher adoption rates, and reduced risk through experiential learning.

To access the WalkMe panel as a plugin, customers can select WalkMe from Company Settings.

Sales Core

Opportunity Management

• Auto-Won Opportunities: Opportunities automatically set to “Won” when linked to a Sales Order, streamlining sales cycle management
• System now allows sales representatives to perform actions from the opportunity quick view without needing to access full details

The two features work together to minimize clicks while speeding up operations and making the system more user-friendly for sales representatives who work directly with customers.

Routinng Rules

• Language Independent Field: A new description field ensures routing rules display consistently across regions, eliminating cross-language issues.

This enhancement is especially valuable for global organizations operating in multilingual environments.

Intelligent Sales Add-On (ISE)

Guided Selling Improvements

• Hide Deal Score: Admins can disable the deal score display when not relevant, ensuring a cleaner interface.
• New feature enables sales representatives to create and save frequently used queries for their opportunities which speeds up their navigation and follow-up processes.

The combination of these features improves both personalization and efficiency in guided selling workflows.

Service Core

Ticket Management

• The system allows administrators to download archived tickets in XML format for reporting and compliance and audit needs.

Ticket Follow-Up: S/4HANA Service Order Integration

New replication capabilities allow service agents to transfer critical ticket data into S/4HANA Service Orders:

• Products and Registered Products into the Reference Objects tab.
• Internal Notes (first note only) as product descriptions.
• Ticket Processing as Employee Responsible.
• Updated iflow for “Create Service Request Follow-Up Document in S/4HANA.”

Note: Replication of products and registered products requires SAP support activation. The implemented enhancements enable better tracking of ticket-to-order processes and allow service teams to connect C4C with S/4HANA systems without any interruptions.
