Process Message Categories in Shop Floor Control

Use

When a production order is executed, process data must be reported back and business transactions/activities triggered to ensure consistency of data between process control and the various participating components of the SAP system.

The standard SAP system contains a series of predefined message destinations (recipients) (for example, function modules) and process messages that enable both integration with MM and QM and status management for production orders and control instructions. The individual transactions are triggered when a message of the relevant message category is received at the corresponding destination.
