EM Design for SO with more than 100 line items

[Former Member]

Dear All ,

                  We have a requirement where a client has frequent SO's where line items are more than 100's. Please suggest what is the best way in EM to represent such a OTC scenario.

                     1) Should we have SO as a separate EH and SO line item as separate EH and show the hierarchical view of the same.

                       or

                     2) We present the EH to EH link to client to check for all the line items of that SO such that EH are at SO line item level ?

Thanks,

Shubh.

Hello Shubh,

what do you want to track? Header and Line Items or only the line items?

To create and update hierarchy would be much effort. I think 2) with creating a header EH with indexed parameter containing the line item numbers and linking to them would be easier.

Dear Steffen,

                    The client wants to track header as well as line items.  We have EH for each SO line item.  What is suggested for such scenario?

            1) For Hierarchical view : Is performance a problem here ?? What are the challenges that you can foresee ?

            2) Creating a header EH with indexed parameter containing the line item numbers and linking to them would be easier.  =>Request you to please detailed this out.

Thanks,

1) For Hierarchical view : Is performance a problem here ?? What are the challenges that you can foresee ?

Every time a new line item is added or deleted you have to update the hierarchy by sending an Event Message

  2) Creating a header EH with indexed parameter containing the line item numbers and linking to them would be easier.  =>Request you to please detailed this out.

During EH creation for the Header EH add a Control Parameter SO_LINE_ITEM and fill it with the line item number or a concatenated number HeadernumberLineItemnumber. Index of the Parameter would be line item number. In EM configure a link from the Header EH to LineItemEH.

Check the docu in SPRO how exactly you have to configure it.

Hi Shubh,

If the requirement is to track both Header and Line level events, I would recommend to have one EH at line level (say EH_SO_LINE) and have multiple tracking IDs (SO and SO_Line).

All header level events can be registered to the EH_SO_LINE event handler with SO as the tracking Id.

Thanks,
