Business Context and Use

The Create Tracked Process Event Notification inbound operation requests the creation of an event notification for a tracked process.  A tracked process event notification is created during the execution of tracked business process by employees or business partners.  An event notification is created when the user confirms actual events for a business process.When an actual event is reported, the corresponding event notification for the tracked process is created. An event notification is often created automatically, for example, an event notification can be automatically created when a delivery is received.  However, it is also possible for a user to create an event notification manually.Consider a purchasing scenario that begins with the creation of a purchase order for a material. If the purchase order is subject to a tracked process, the progress of the purchase order (from creation through to payment) can be tracked at line item level.When a purchase order is created, changed or deleted, the associated tracked process is also updated, including the expected events and attributes that identify, control, and monitor the related business process.To create a tracked process event notification for this purchasing scenario, the user can use the Create Tracked Process Event Notification operation.  The creation of the event notification is confirmed using the Confirm Creation Tracked Process Event Notification  operation.

Error Handling

The operation returns an error if the tracked process does not exist or cannot be found.  In these cases, you need to check and correct the Customizing settings in the back-end system.
