Appendix A. Level 1 Questions
Project AIM
It is assumed here that the participants from Customer side will have conceptual understanding of Event Management, if not that will be taken up taken up in the form of training by the implementation team before gathering these requirements.
Q. Do you want to use SCEM for monitoring only? Or you want certain automatic actions to be
triggered by SCEM System.? Q. Q. Which are the functions that will be involved in tracking? List down all tracking scenarios (a string or set of events that you want to view together or want to have a status of) that you would like to have. Ex: Tracking of delivery process from Delivery creation till proof of delivery. Q. Which are the processes that will be involved in tracking?

3 BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS
Project AIM
In the business process described above various users need to know the status of various events in order to coordinate the work. The DOP needs to know when a delivery is dispatched from the HUB. They also need the information about who is the ultimate receiver of this material and when is he going to come and collect this material. The Installer needs to know when his order has been dispatched from the HUB and when its arriving at the DOP. He needs the information about when his material is ready for pickup from the DOP. The DOP needs to know, in case the Installer has changed his plan of picking the material. And on the overall level, CLIENT 1 needs to know about the material movement from and to the DOP. Broadly the business requirement from the Tracking point of view can be divided into four categories 1. Ability to see an online and up-to-date status of various business objects (Ex. Delivery etc) and various events (Ex. Arrival of truck at DOP, Delivery pickup by the Installer ) 2. Ability to get automatic alerts as a result of occurrence of different events. (Ex. An alert to Client 1 when a delivery reaches the DOP ) 3. Various data points generated in the process of tracking should be available for use later. (Ex. Time which a Handling unit spends at the DOP ) Proposed Solution Event Manager Solution in SAP SCM 4.0

4.1.1.1 PGI from Client 1
Project AIM
Its actually sending of the Shipment request but due to convention being followed in the project, its being called so.
4.1.2
Unexpected Events
Unexpected events are not part of normal flow but are expected to occur due to some abnormal conditions. Hence a provision is to be made to track such occurrences. Following have been identified as unexpected events.

ECO, Ltd.
Project AIM
There can also be a case of one or more handling units being rejected by the installer, after inspection. This results in complete rejection of the delivery by the installer. This event of rejection is recorded as an unexpected event. And if after rejection, the HUs are sent back to the Hub, this is also reported to the EM. Hence the events in the outbound chain are as follows.
4.2.2.2 Rejection (Unexpected) 4.2.2.3 Return by Installer (Unexpected) 4.2.2.4 HU returned to the HUB (Unexpected)
In Return to HUB process remains the same as in the case of return to Hub in the inbound side. Its been decided that all unexpected events related to the Installer will be recorded as one event in the phase 1 of the project.

6 BUSINESS PROCESS SUMMARY
Project AIM
Various business processes have been described in detail in other documents. Its being described here from the Event Manager (EM) perspective. There are three entities involved in the whole process. HUB, Drop Off Point (DOP) and Client 1 customer. The Customer places an order on a HUB for the equipment. The HUB delivers the material to the DOP which is geographically suitable to the Customer. The DOP can make a partial receipt of a delivery. Ie it can accept some handling units of all the handling units in a delivery. The DOP then puts away the HUs in the storage area. Receipt of incomplete deliveries (not all HUs being there) is handled as an exception. The Client 1 customer engages one or more installation partners for installing the equipment across various sites. An installer can work for more than one customer and can install equipment at more than one site for the same customer. The respective installer, representing the customer, fixes up an appointment by calling up the DOP and then picks up the material at a pre-agreed time. The DOP can issue only complete deliveries to the Installer. Delivery cant be made to the installer even if one HU is missing or is not in deliverable condition due to damage etc. In case the installer does not find any HU as expected, he has to reject the complete delivery. The installer can return complete deliveries to the DOP for temporary storage, in which case he can pick them again at a later point of time. Only complete deliveries can also be returned to the DOP due to rejection. The DOP can initiate the process of sending back the HUs to the HUB. Event Manager will also collect information in the process which needs to be stored somewhere on a regular basis so that it can be analyzed later or can be used for activities like billing etc. Hence Event Manager will keep sending the required information to the Business Information Warehouse. Following events have been identified for tracking. (U= unexpected event) Inbound 1. PGI from Client 1 2. Departure from HUB* 3. Arrival at DOP ` 4. PUT away 5. Return to HUB (U) Outbound 1. Installer arrival 2. Pickup by installer 3. Installer no-show (U)** 4. Installer rejection (U)** 5. Installer return (U)**
* The event of Departure from HUB will not be separately tracked; PGI from Client 1 will be taken as departure from HUB. ** Three unexpected events of No-show, Rejection and return will be combined into one unexpected event.
