Workflow for trigger points in the production order

A trigger point is an object that can be assigned to an operation specifically to trigger a function. You can use the function Start workflow task to start single-step tasks or multistep tasks. The start of the workflow task depends on changes in the status of the operation to which the trigger point is attached.

When a trigger point is reached, the MRP controller who is responsible for the production order can be informed. The MRP controller receives a work item in his or her inbox and can maintain the production order from there.

Activities

1. Maintaining processer assignment
Link the standard task TS00200047 to your possible processors.
2. Linking MRP controllers to the organizational management
If you only want the MRP controller who is responsible for the production order to receive a work item, rather than all possible processors that are assigned to the standard task TS20000623, link the MRP controller (organizational object type T024D) to the SAP organizational management.
3. Maintenance of the type linkage table
Ensure that the following is entered in the type linkage table:
Object type: MLST_PROD
Event: Started
Receiver type:
Recevier FM: SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT
Check Function:
Receiver type FM: CN_MS_EVENT_RECEIVER_TYPE_GET
Destination:
Global: X
Enabled: X
