What you need to know to start...

Standard Customer Request Definition:

A customer request represents one or more demand(s) from a customer related to one or several areas (e.g. logistics, packaging, documentation, training, technical support, regulatory compliance).

Special customer requests are not yet covered in Salesforce.com.

Sample Request VS Customer Request

• Customer Requests and Sample Requests are separated are separated processes and no Customer Request is created for a Sample Request.
• Sample Requests are done directly in Case using the Sample Request functionality. No Customer Request is created for it.
