Features

You can start this program as a background process. SAP Event Management (SAP EM) uses the expected event monitor to recognize overdue expected events. You can define activities, for example, sending an e-mail, to react to these overdue events.

When you use the seasonal procurement process, you can use the selection fields specific to seasonal procurement.

SAP EM processes overdue expected events belonging to the seasonal procurement process in a different way from other overdue events. In the case of overdue expected events belonging to the seasonal procurement process, SAP EM works on event handlers and not on individual expected events. SAP EM bundles the expected events. When you select an overdue expected event for an event handler belonging to the seasonal procurement process, SAP EM reads all the expected events for this event handler. At the same time, SAP EM determines internally in one step and with reference to the time index for the report selection which expected events for the event handler will be overdue in this report run. SAP EM determines from these expected events the which one is valid and which has the highest internal priority.

SAP delivers activities for the expected event monitor (for example, for comparing two fields or activating an event handler set).
