This functionality can only be used in pilot projects and after discussion with SAP.

SAP Supply Chain Event Management ( SCEM ) allows you to define specific expected events for a business process (such as a transport) or for a business object (sales order), and use rules to define which actions (a status change, for example) should be linked to which event. At the same time you can define planned, baseline dates for the events. If the appropriate event is then confirmed with an actual time for this process or object, the status is changed, for example, and the planned scheduling for the following events is updated. In this way you can monitor each step of the logistics chain, refer to critical situations with alerts and be proactive by sending the appropriate messages.

Technically speaking, SAP SCEM is part of SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) and cannot be installed separately.

For more information, see SAP Help Portal under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_em70/helpdata/de/6e/b4393c95b04325e10000000a11405a/frameset.htmSAP Event Management

You can constantly monitor and log actions that you execute in VMS with reference to specific vehicles via the connection of VMS to SAP SCEM. This means that you can always provide your dealers with the latest information on the progress being made in production and transport, track down delays, and initiate appropriate measures in good time.

Prerequisites

You have installed SAP SCM 4.0 or higher.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

For more information, see SAP Service Marketplace atservice.sap.com\instguides→ SAP Business Suite Applications → SAP SCM

You have connected VMS to SAP SCEM.

You have implemented BAdI VLC_USER_INTERFACE. This BAdI checks whether SAP SCEM has been connected to VMS and calls the tracking data (see below).

You have activated the SCEM search views via BAdI VLC_SEARCH_PROFILE (see below).

For all SCEM-relevant actions, you have set the SCEM Rel. indicator in Customizing for VMS under Control Data → Define Actions.

An event handler is then created in SAP SCEM for the vehicle for which you execute the action. If an event handler already exists for this vehicle, the information parameters for this event handler are updated. An event handler is the SCEM version of the application object Vehicle in VMS, which allows you to process confirmed events for this application object in SAP SCEM.

You have executed the action EMMI . This action reports events for SAP SCEM.
