What is SAP Event Management?
SAP Event Management is a centralized system for tracking, monitoring, and controlling various business operations. It was created to handle events across dispersed processes, applications, and systems that exist both within and outside a company’s internal and external borders.
SAP Event Management (EM) includes features that allow you to keep track of all specified milestones and targets, send out notifications and alerts as needed, report unforeseen events, and follow up on scheduled events and activities.
It collects all events from the company’s existing systems, analyses them, compares them to the predefined plan and goals, and generates a workflow reaction as a result. It works well on both SAP and non-SAP systems and includes pre-configured connections to other programs.
SAP EM works with SAP NetWeaver BI and SAP Auto-Id Infrastructure, SAP Supply Chain Management servers, SAP ERP, and SAP Transportation.
Benefits
- It enables transparency throughout the supply chain in all processes.
- It provides current information on all events, allowing for very efficient and dependable contact with partners.
- It detects and informs users of potential dangers that processes and events may encounter.
- Providing real-time data at all times can help you achieve high customer satisfaction.
Another big advantage of SAP EM is its ability to trigger event messages that can be sent via email, SMS, or even fax. These messages are generated through registered and unregistered events in the timeframe and involved processes.
SAP Event Management Tips
What happens if the train doesn’t arrive on time?
In this case, the non-event, i.e., not arriving on time, is a negative event, and you can use SAP Event Management to alert the entire rail management system to the fact the train did not arrive on time.
Why would you want to do this?
The short answer is to make your rolling stock more efficient. Here’s a small fact that astounds me: The average rail operator in 1960 was lucky if he used 5% of his rolling stock on any given day. Why? Because there was no method to automate the tracking of each individual piece of rolling stock. Instead, spotters were stationed at every train station and other location, visually tracking and reporting the location of equipment as it passed through.
Train operators can know where everything is at all times thanks to today’s digital tracking capabilities, which include technology like RF-ID tags, IoT, and modern train signaling equipment. SAP Event Management is a critical component of this significant operational improvement.
With SAP Event Management you can:
- Allow your customers to interact with and change things in your source systems.
- Interact with your customers to save time, money, and effort.
- Reduce effort by communicating directly with your customer rather than via mail, fax, or phone.
- Allow customers to record statuses and actions such as “Free for Disposition.”
- In the event of non-occurrence or overdue events, SAP EM can react automatically based on specified “what-if” scenarios.
