Use

SAP Event Management ( SAP EM ) executes inbound processing of event messages to

  • Check the syntax (for example, is the weight specified correct?) and the technical definition of the event messages

  • Log the event messages

    You can display the error list for inbound event message processing using the transaction /SAPTRX/ER_MS_LIST.

  • Save the event messages on the database

  • Convert external event codes for event messages into internal event codes, if you use external event codes.

  • Use the tracking ID to search for the event handlers that belong to the event messages

  • Use a rule set with its activities to trigger further event message processing in SAP EM

    The system can also process event messages that have already been set to Inactive .

    Example Example

    For example, you can report damage to a shipment after the shipment has already been completed in SAP EM and the corresponding event handler has been set to Inactive .

    End of the example.

  • Log the processing results in the application log in the event handler list
