Event Receiver 

Definition

Program in which an event is evaluated.

From a technical point of view, the event receiver is started by an asynchronous RFC call of the receiver function module in the event receiver linkage table.

Use

Any application that wants to react to an event must provide a receiver function module and make an appropriate entry in the linkage table.

If you use events in the environment of SAP Business Workflow, special components in the workflow system are the receivers of the event.

You do not then need to concern yourself with the programming of the receiver function module and the entry in the linkage table.

Integration

The receiver function module is selected and called by the event manager once it has evaluated the type linkage table.
