Definition

The main object table and the master table specify where the data used to evaluate whether an object is relevant to supply chain event management is located. The main object table represents the event. The master table represents additional information about the event.

Both tables with the data record before the current data save also specify the state that the business object had before its current state.

Use

You need the information from the main object table and the master table to define the condition for determining the event type in the application system.

You can define tracking IDs in the extractor from the main object table and the master table.

Example

For example, you want to track a handling unit only for overseas shipments. To do this you need, on the one hand, information from the main object table (handling unit) to determine the tracking ID. On the other hand, you also need additional information from the shipment (for example, the route) to process events in the event handler, for example, if the route was changed. You define a condition that queries the change in status from Loading Begin to Loaded . The condition uses the main object table with the data record before the current data save to determine the old status Loading Begin and it uses the main object table to determine the new status Loaded .
