For all cases, please:

Start an Expert Chat

Expert Chat support channel is best suited for new* Medium or High priority issues.

Expert Chat provides:

  • Real-time support from an SAP Product Support Expert
  • Ability to screen share
  • Quicker resolution as compared to a case created in SAP for Me

See SAP Knowledge Base Article 2213344 for detailed steps on how to get started.

* Looking for an update about an existing case? Contact the Customer Interaction Center.

Important Topics

Yes, the chat transcript and all attachments will be recorded in your case log for your convenience.

No, if the support engineer is unable to resolve your issue at the time, they will continue the case submission process for you. The chat transcript and all the attachments will always be captured and recorded in your case log, whether the issue is resolved immediately or not.

Chat should only be used for technical/functional issues with an SAP product, as described in SAP Knowledge Base Article 83020 - "What is consulting - What is support?" and SAP Knowledge Base Article 2706322 - "What is Support – What is Consulting: Cloud Solutions".

For other inquiries, use the SAP Community Questions & Answers, or access other resources of the SAP ecosystem.

For questions about an existing case's status or priority, our Customer Interaction Center is ready to assist you. Frequently asked questions can be found in SAP Knowledge Base Article 2570790.

We do not limit the number of times you may contact support using chat. However, we recommend you start only one chat session per problem or question that you have.

A functionality allowing VAR-delivered support partners to use Expert Chat for their end customers' systems is currently not available.

More information is available in the Case Management for VAR Partners document.

If you are unable to use our chat tool, you might need to update your browser/network configuration, details can be found in SAP Knowledge Base Article 2392095.

When starting an Expert Chat session with SAP Product Support, the machine translation option will be offered automatically.

Incident Solution Matching

Incident Solution Matching is a service based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies that helps you get relevant answers to technical questions faster.

Learn more on AI-driven support and how it will change your support experience.

Incident Solution Matching

  • uses a collection of interaction data to automatically train and improve the models
  • helps to accelerate time to resolution
  • runs on SAP's infrastructure
  • accelerates the process of finding relevant solutions by learning from past problems

To find solutions to your issue:

  • access your SAP for Me to create a case
  • provide a concise, detailed and clear description of the issue. 
  • review recommended solutions (SAP Notes and SAP Knowledge Base Articles) ranked in order of relevance
  • Select a component from Component field and “Incident Solution Matching” will refine the results even more

The more you use the service, the more relevant the recommendations become.

Important Topics

Incident Solution Matching is a new service from SAP based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology which helps SAP customers get answers to technical questions faster.

The service proposes solutions ranked in order of relevance within the case creation form, so you can find relevant SAP Notes and SAP Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) quickly without searching manually. Incident Solution Matching uses AI and machine learning for improved results by learning from past cases. The more you use the service, the more relevant the recommendations become.

Incident Solution Matching is embedded in the case creation form accessible via SAP for Me.

Including the following information in your problem description will significantly improve your search results.

  1. Describe your issue in Subject and Description as concisely as possible, “Incident Solution Matching” automatically recommends solutions from SAP Notes and SAP Knowledge Base Articles in the left panel and the results are ranked in order of relevance.
  2. Select a component to further refine the results.

Incident Solution Matching is the result of a highly sophisticated technology. On the first view, you will still use the same search environment or case creation form. However, performance and quality of answers are improved considerably by this new technology and you should get answers much faster with a much higher relevance to your questions.

Incident Solution Matching is available for all SAP products.

Because the Incident Solution Matching automatically identifies and ranks solutions according to their semantic relevance based on case data. The more detailed and concise information you provide, the more matching results you will get.

The Incident Solution Matching uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for improved results by learning from past cases, so the more you use it, the more relevant it becomes.

Currently Incident Solution Matching only supports English.

We are currently exploring Incident Solution Matching for internal incidents in the future.

Incident Solution Matching will be further improved and will get considerably better and faster with the extensive use of all SAP customers. More use cases based on artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are planned for the future and will help further improve performance and customer experience.
