• Key Concepts: 
  Internal events are used in the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component of SAP to trigger certain actions. These events are triggered when certain conditions are met, such as when a material is available or when a production order is completed. Internal events can be used to trigger notifications, start processes, or update data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Internal events can be used to automate processes within the PP-PI component of SAP. To use an internal event, you must first define the event in the system. This includes specifying the conditions that must be met for the event to be triggered and the action that should be taken when it is triggered. Once the event is defined, it can be used in various processes within PP-PI. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining an internal event, it is important to ensure that all of the conditions are specified correctly. This will ensure that the event is triggered at the right time and that the correct action is taken. Additionally, it is important to test any internal events before they are used in production processes.
