  Event messages are used in SAP Event Management (SCM-EM) to trigger an action or alert when a certain event occurs. An event message is a type of message that is sent from one system to another, usually from an external system to SAP. It contains information about the event that has occurred, such as the type of event, the time it occurred, and any other relevant data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Event messages can be used to trigger an action or alert in SAP when a certain event occurs. For example, if an order is placed in an external system, an event message can be sent to SAP to trigger an action such as creating a sales order or sending an email notification. Event messages can also be used to trigger alerts in SAP when certain conditions are met, such as when inventory levels reach a certain threshold.
