If you register a new call, LN notifies you of the calls registered previously for the specific sold-to business partner, Installation group, or serialized item. LN specifies the calls that are completed, in process, or registered by other call takers with the customer. To control the search for existing calls, you can set the Search Based on parameters in the Call Parameters (tsclm0100m000) session.
