Activities

Sorting the Events

If you have not set up your own sorting criteria, the events are arranged according to their sorting rank. You define the sorting rank for a standard event when you create it in Customizing for Progress Tracking. However, you can overwrite this individually on the events overview, both for standard events and events you have entered manually.

Calling Up and Maintaining the Event Scenario

Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Event Scenario to display the scenario, including the corresponding event relationships, that is assigned to the Progress Object in question, if one has been assigned. The time intervals can be changed here individually for the current transaction run, as long as the reference indicator has not been set for the time interval in Customizing for Progress Tracking under Define Event Scenario.

Calling Up Scheduling

To call up scheduling you must select one event only, which is used as the start event for scheduling and then choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Schedule. Only the standard events of an assigned event scenario can be scheduled. The settings in the Progress Tracking profile defined in Customizing for Progress Tracking determine the way in which scheduling is carried out and also the scheduling types that are to be scheduled. A Progress Tracking BAdI can be used to define customer-specific time intervals for the event relationships per scheduled entry. For more information about BAdIs, see Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Progress Tracking.

Automatic Scheduling

When you call up Progress Tracking, the system checks for each scenario whether an event has been set as the start event for automatic scheduling in Customizing for Progress Tracking under Maintain Relationships Between Events in a Scenario. If this is the case, the events are always scheduled according to the settings in the profile, so that the dates of the corresponding events are always current in terms of scheduling.

Date Types

The date types for standard events that are referenced only, as defined in Customizing for Progress Tracking under Define Standard Events, cannot be maintained on the events overview.

The individual date types are underlined in red or yellow, according to the Progress Tracking profile settings for variances. The maximum variance of the date types for an event is displayed as a traffic light for each event.

Updating the Event Overview

In the SAP List Viewer grid, entries can be checked together using a function or individually and are then transferred to the corresponding work areas. So that more than one field in the Events Overview can be maintained quickly using tabulator navigation, the entries in the events overview are not transferred to the relevant work areas immediately. Not until a function is called up or you navigate somewhere else, does the system transfer the data and update any dependent data. If you want to update the data manually at any particular time, you can choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Refresh.
