SAP Exam C_SRM_72 Topic 1 Question 35 Discussion

Event schemas are used to control the effects of the events that belong to the business objects. They can be used to define the deadline for triggering a reaction to the event.

Event categories are used to define the nature of this reaction.

The system determines the recipient for event category Alert using alert category; it sends one of the following:

An alert, using alert category.

A message, using SAP Smart Form.

A work item, using workflow.

Note that an event always occurs at a predefined time. However, you can trigger an alert or message before or after this time by specifying a negative or positive value. If you enter no deadline, the system assumes that the value is zero and the alert is triggered at the moment of the event.
