Event Handler Type 
A classification of the application objects that the event handler represents. The event handler type is one of SAP Event Management’s (SAP EM) own control parameters. SAP EM uses a rule set and an expected event profile to control how event handlers are processed.
The following are examples of event handler types:
● A purchase order for a supplier
● A production order for a plant
● A sea container for a shipment
You can use the event handler type to specify the following:
● The way in which the system creates and updates an event handler
● The rule set for an event handler for processing event messages
● The expected event profile for an event handler
● The status attribute profile for an event handler
● The authorization profile for an event handler for querying event handler data
● How data for an event handler is transferred to the SAP Business Information Warehouse
● The activation for writing change documents
The event handler type is dependent on the application object’s parameters and is determined using conditions and a mapping function.
