Let me give you one scenario where it can be used :

Say company has very common rework scenario , so every time they can not create rework order manually in co07 .

When you configure triger pt for rework system will automatically pop up re order at the time of confirmation .

Create std trigger point by co31

Hi,

Trigger Points

Use

A trigger point is an object that can be assigned to an operation in order to trigger a function.

Trigger points can trigger functions,

· If the status of an operation changes (example)

· When an operation is confirmed. In this case the user decides whether the function is triggered (example)

You can also trigger a function by linking a user status to a u2018reason for varianceu2019 (example).

Features

At present, the following functions can be triggered:

· Releasing directly succeeding operations

You can release all operations which come directly after the operation

· Releasing operations up to stop indicator

You can release all operations up to and including the next operation with a release stop indicator.

· Releasing preceding operations

You can release all operations which come before the operation in the order

· Creating a new order by copying

You can create a new order. The order is created without reference to material using a reference operation set.

· Including a reference operation set

You can include a reference operation set in the existing order. In this case you need to specify the operation after which the operation set is to be inserted. A production order is always rescheduled after a reference operation set has been included via a trigger point.

· Triggering a workflow task

You can trigger a task defined as a workflow (Trigger Points).

To minimize the effort involved in creating trigger points, you can create standard trigger points and trigger point groups.

Standard Trigger Points

You can create standard trigger points in the routing or in the production order. A standard trigger point is used as a reference for creating trigger points. If you refer to a standard trigger point when creating a trigger point, the system transfers all necessary data from the standard trigger point into the new trigger point. As a result, the effort required for entering data is reduced.

To create standard trigger points, choose Logistics ® Production ® Master data ® Std. trigger point ® Create

Creating Trigger Points

Use

Trigger points are assigned to operations just like components or production resources/tools (PRTs). You can create and assign them in the routing or in the order.

Procedure

1.Call up the operation overview in the order.

2.Select the operation to which you want to assign a trigger point and choose Trigger points.

The system branches to a screen that lists all existing trigger points.

3.Enter a Usage and/or a description.

Specify whether the trigger point is to be used

to trigger a function (for example, to release operations, insert a reference operation set and so on) by setting the Functions indicator

None of the functions maintained on the detail screen can be triggered if the Functions indicator is not set.

or as a release stop by setting the RelStop indicator

If an operation has a trigger point in which the release stop indicator is activated, the operation will be the last operation to be released by any previous trigger point in which the indicator "Release stop" is active. ( Example)

You can use the same trigger point both as a release stop and to trigger a function.

4.If you want to...

create a trigger point by copying a standard trigger point, press function key Std.trg.pt to select and copy a standard trigger point

create several trigger points by copying a group of standard trigger points, press function key Trig. pt. grp

to select and copy a trigger point group

create a trigger point manually, you have to enter a usage and a description for the trigger point

5.Using a double-click, call up the detail data for the trigger point.

A screen appears with the title Trigger point - Workflow.

6.In the screen section Trigger point - functions, select the function that you want the trigger point to carry out. In addition, enter

the status that is supposed to trigger the function

whether the function should be triggered when the status is Reset, Set, or Set and reset.

whether the function is only to be triggered once

If you have copied a standard trigger point, the system will already have this information.

7.Choose Parameters.

A dialog box appears in which you may need to enter further information.

The fields that appear in the dialog box depend on the function you selected. If, for example, you have chosen "Include reference operation set", you must enter the task list group, the group counter for the reference operation set and also the operation number in the dialog box. The operation number specifies the operation after which the reference operation set is to be included.

You can also enter a selection profile in the dialog box. The function can then only be triggered if the status of the operation matches the selection criteria specified in the selection profile.

8.Choose and save the production order.

Hope this helps.
