SAP Event Management

Track and trace compliance — Interview with Kevin Wilson on enhancing supply chain security ...

Kevin Wilson — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:38:00 +0000

Marcy Rizzo, of Wispubs, recently spoke with Kevin Wilson, SAP Solution Engineer SAP Event Practice Lead at Qdata, USA, on a topic that's getting a lot of attention lately: product traceability and track and trace compliance. Listen to the podcast here.

Kevin examines the strategic drivers, trends, and solutions to help ensure product authenticity and traceability. He delves into the complexity and value of creating a safe and secure supply chain (counterfeit reduction), including cost impacts, recalls, and pedigree (chain of custody) and describes how the SAP solution set maps to meet compliance requirements. Kevin provides customer examples, and discusses integration scenarios for creating a unified data model to generate product genealogies and analytics. Follow up with Kevin for more in-depth learning on SAP solutions and business process design that helps to support product track and traceability at the upcoming SAPinsider Supply Chain Management Conference, March in Orlando.

SAP Event Management: OnStar® for Your Supply Chain

SAP Event Management: OnStar® for Your Supply Chain

What are you planning tomorrow… shipments, deliveries, receipts, production of a certain high-demand product, truck breakdown, train derailment, warehouse equipment failure, a computer disaster that prevents delivery processing and stacks up carriers’ vehicles? … the former, most certainly; the latter, probably not.

In October, 2000, I had the opportunity to support SAP’s introduction of Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) at Sapphire. Our demo scenario was a truck carrying a load of goods; we had a telephone connected to the SCEM system. The truck broke down and the demonstrator, playing the role of the truck driver, phoned the connection, advising that he would be delayed by two hours while the truck was repaired. The expected time of arrival of the delivery was updated by the delay time enabling the planners to adjust accordingly.

SCEM is essentially a “track and trace” application; a monitor of the completion of any task related to the procurement, production, transportation, and delivery of product. SAP EM (SAP’s implementation of SCEM) is one of the applications that SAP has developed to bridge the gap

Where is the code to kick off the FI Payment events?

Kevin Wilson — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 03:49:00 +0000

The SAP Event Management procurement visibility process (PCM10) calls for a payment to be created against the PO using transaction F110. The SAP EM Application Interface is typically called using a BAdI but this time a BTE is used to trigger the SAP EM Application Integration. You'll find the code for BPT ESC_FI_CLEARING in the function module /SAPTRX/PAYMENT_SAVE_BTE_1040 for event 1040 (reversal) and application PI-EM. Use /SAPTRX/PAYMENT_SAVE_BTE_1030 and event 1030 for the payment itself. Use t-code FIBF -> Seetings -> P/S Modules -> Of an SAP Application to review BTEs.

Leveraging what you already have!!! SAP Event Management uncovered

Description: Most companies use an integration partner to help them implement SAP. Once it's in who helps them realize the benefits of what they just implemented? Companies should consider using a "realization" partner to help them drive out the ROI and effectively use what they already have. The focus of this presentation will be on the scenarios and functionality that is pre-delivered with SAP EM and which you most likely already have.
