Exploring the Management Event Library

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to navigate a Management Event Library admin object and explain what it represents in SAP Fieldglass.

Management Event Library

The Management Event Library allows Administrators to create and maintain a list of management events for use within the SOW module.

Management events do not result in invoices, so they are used for deliverables that are required during the course of a project but are not directly tied to a payment, such as kick-off meetings, mid-point reviews, or status reports.

Management events from an associated Management Event Library can be selected from the Management Events tab in the Characteristics section of an SOW.

Management Events may be initiated by suppliers or buyers, and they display as work items on the actor’s desktop at the appropriately scheduled time. Management Events can be added when creating an SOW from a template, and they can be copied from the Library.

2	Actor Type Used indicates whether the supplier or buyer is responsible for completing the event.
3	Schedule Type indicates if the event occurs once or recurs on a regular interval. If it is a recurring event.

A Management Event record displays the same information as the list page. However, if it is a recurring event, the details page displays the frequency and start period of the event.

5	If the event does not occur more than once, the Schedule Type would be listed as ‘Regular’ and the Frequency and Start Period rows would not appear.
