• Key Concepts: 
  Event type linkage is a feature of SAP Event Management (SCM-EM) that allows users to link different event types together. This allows users to create a chain of events that can be triggered by a single event. For example, if an event is triggered, it can trigger other events in the chain, such as sending an email notification or creating a task.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use event type linkage, users must first create the events they want to link together. Once the events are created, users can then link them together by selecting the “Link Event Types” option in the Event Management menu. This will open a window where users can select the events they want to link together and specify the order in which they should be triggered. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When linking events together, it is important to consider the order in which they should be triggered. For example, if an email notification needs to be sent out after a task is created, then the task should be linked first and the email notification second.
