Integration with the Request ManagementCSM application enables customer service agents to create request records from cases or associate existing request records to cases. It also enables customers to create requests from the Customer and Consumer
Service Portals.
With this integration, customer service agents can:

* Create one or more requests on behalf of a customer from an existing customer service case.
* Associate an existing request to a case.
* Remove an associated request from a case.
* View a list of requests associated with a case in the Requests related list.
* View the following in the case work notes:
  * Request state changes.
  * Additional comments added to the request item record.

  {#csm-integration-sm-request__ul_szc_gpl_vfb}  
  Note:  
  When creating a request from a case, if the agent chooses a catalog item that is using cart v1 (the use_sc_layout field is not checked), the case is not set as the parent of the request.
{#csm-integration-sm-request__ul_ujx_cng_5fb}

## Plugins {#csm-integration-sm-request__section_rl4_fyc_vfb}

Integration with Request Management requires the Customer Service with Request Management
plugin (com.sn_cs_sm_request).

## Roles {#csm-integration-sm-request__section_gbm_rz3_bmb}

The following roles enable customer service agents to view and create requests for customer service cases.

* sn_request_read
* sn_request_write
{#csm-integration-sm-request__ul_wff_1gl_cmb}

For more information, see [Assign CSM/ITSM integration roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/8_vd2YgJiEnt9ilR8lGtLQ#assign-csm-itsm-integration-roles "To enable the Service Management integration features, assign the CSM/ITSM integration roles that are included with the Incident Management application.").

## Enabling the Create Request UI action for case types {#csm-integration-sm-request__section_pdr_4th_4vb}

To enable the Create Request UI action for a case type table that extends the Case \[sn_customerservice_case\] table, add an entry for the case type to the Request Parent Mapping \[request_parent_mapping\]
table. For more information, see [Enable the Create Request UI action for case types](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LBJ4dXwLq~aAmfmwT43U8Q "Enable the Create Request UI action for case type tables that extend the Case [sn_customerservice_case] table.").

## Synchronizing data between the request and the case {#csm-integration-sm-request__section_sbl_y1j_bmb}

Work notes are synchronized from the request to the case when:

* The request state changes.
* The request is closed.
* Additional comments are added to the request.

{#csm-integration-sm-request__ul_s4v_r4g_5fb}  
Note:  
When a request is closed, the case does not automatically move to solution proposed.

## Communicating with the requester {#csm-integration-sm-request__section_hnl_jgd_vfb}

The task fulfiller can communicate with the requester if additional information is needed.
Use the Additional comments field on the request to communicate with
the requester through the case. Information added to the Additional comments field on the request is synchronized to the case work notes.

If the case is the parent of the request, notifications to the requester are suppressed
when additional comments are added to the request by the fulfiller.
