• Key Concepts: 
  Simple event type is a feature of the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component of SAP. It is used to define the type of event that will trigger a production order. This could be a customer order, a forecast, or a planned order. The simple event type also defines the parameters that will be used to determine when the production order should be created. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the simple event type feature, you must first define the parameters for each type of event. This includes the date and time when the production order should be created, as well as any other conditions that must be met before the order can be created. Once these parameters have been defined, you can then assign a simple event type to each production order. This will ensure that the production order is created at the correct time and with the correct parameters. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining the parameters for a simple event type, it is important to consider how often the production order will need to be created. If it is a frequent occurrence, then it may be beneficial to set up an automated process that will create the production orders at regular intervals. This will save time and ensure that orders are created in a timely manner.
