Business Event Catalog (SAP Library - Training and Event Management (PE))

Business Event Catalog

Purpose

To be able to work with Training and Event Management, you must set up an initial business event catalog by planning or creating business event dates.

Once you have set up your catalog, you can carry out day-to-day activities such as booking attendees for business events.

You create the business event catalog in a hierarchical structure, consisting of business event groups, event types, and event dates which makes data maintenance structured and efficient.

Prerequisites

You must first create the necessary master data, which forms the basis of the business event catalog. The business event environment contains the following data:

Schedule pattern
Building address
Cost items
Business event location
Organizer
Resource types
Resources

You create master data in one of the following places:

In Customizing under Business Event Preparation
Directly in the Training and Event Management application under Current Settings

Process Flow

You create the business event catalog by setting up a hierarchical structure consisting of business event groups, event types and event dates. You create the hierarchy from the top down, starting with the business event groups.

First, you must create the following either in Customizing under Business Event Preparation or in Current Settings:

A business event group

A business event type that belongs to the business event group. When you create the event type, you must maintain the relationship belongs to event group so that the system can assign the event type to the event group.

Result

These objects form the required basis for setting up a business event hierarchy.

You should create a basic framework of business event groups, types and event dates first, which you can then extend as required. When you want to add new objects to the hierarchy, we recommend that you do so in Current Settings under Master Data Catalog. The advantage of this is that objects are created directly in the hierarchy, so that you do not have to maintain the relevant relationships each time.

Once you have created business event types in the structure, you can create business event dates, thus completing your business event catalog.
