Is that a bug or a feature?
3rd Level Support
Every user is sitting in front of their SAP user interface, has to enter data here, and if there is a failure, there are delays - in ordering, processing an order, creating delivery notes, etc. This can be very quickly business damaging. You can't get anywhere because data can't be entered. SAP users do not necessarily know why something is not working. From the perspective of the user, it is a surface with which one works daily. If it no longer works, the support must be contacted. In this case, you leave the SAP world to describe the problem in some way in another system. It would of course be much more elegant and helpful if you had a help button in the SAP application that automatically creates a ticket. Each ticket created in this way is automatically enriched with runtime information and screenshots, so that the supporters can start editing directly. Unfortunately, it is often the case that the user does not know what transaction, etc. he is in. And that alone often causes confusion and back and forth.
In the working group "CCC/Service & Support", SAP customers, among others, have joined forces to establish a Customer Competence Centre (CCC) or a Customer COE (Centre of Expertise) in the more recent term, on the basis of contractual obligations. The CCC or CCOE is an organisational unit within the company that is responsible for supporting efficient implementations, expansion, and maintenance and quality of business processes and systems related to SAP software. A focus area "Service & Support" is included as part of the classic CCC topics with the working group. In order to provide a discussion platform for SAP Service and Support to customers who do not want/need to implement a CCC, the former AK "CCC" was explicitly expanded to include the term "Service and Support" in the naming.

Here's an example we had about one or two years ago. A larger company with a fairly large SAP user base had 2 experts in support alone. SAP experts, who tend to be expensive and have done nothing but route the incoming tickets to the right place so IT support could get involved. We automated this process by using AI. Not their semantic skills, not as a chatbot, but their analytical skills to learn from historical tickets that used to arrive and were misdirected and how they were resolved. So within a few days, we were able to build up this AI to the point where it could fully adopt the classification of the tickets. Now, the artificial intelligence that came out of this rich information that came out of the SAP world was able to pass these tickets on to the right person, and in some cases even work out solutions.

Tools such as "Shortcut for SAP Systems" allow for a quick fix in SAP support.
We expect this to increase as many of our customers have not yet discovered the real-time support channels for themselves.
