From 3.0 onwards, you have the option of creating trigger points, standard trigger points and trigger point groups.
You can allocate a trigger point to an operation in a routing or in a production order.
Using a trigger point, you can specify that
You can initiate the following functions using a trigger point in the production order:
You can also specify whether a function is triggered only once or whether it is triggered every time the predefined status changes.
You can create standard trigger points in the routing menu or the production order menu. A standard trigger point is used as a reference for creating trigger points. If you refer to a standard trigger point when creating a trigger point, the system transfers all necessary data from the standard trigger point into the trigger point. The effort required to enter data is reduced if you use standard trigger points.
In Customizing, you can group several standard trigger points together in a trigger point group. With reference to the trigger point group, you can copy all standard trigger points contained in the group into an operation. This further reduces the entry effort required.
Further information on (standard) trigger points can be found in the manual 'PP - Production orders' or in Customizing (see DS:CHAP.SIMG_CMMENUOLPFEP>'Milestone').
