The Element Event

Element

Function

The EPC element Event is a passive element. It shows that an action was finished and a state was reached, for example Credit limit exceeded. An Event is generally followed by an action (= Function), unless the event was final. The requirements for the next process steps will be defined in the events after branching via XOR Connector.

Successor: Function
Example

The ACME procurement process requires multiple actions. Before the first action can be executed, the process has to be initiated with help of the start event Demand exists. Only then the demand can be recorded. Two possible events may occur: Credit limit adhered or Credit limit exceeded. Depending on which event occured, a different process branch will run through.

Constraint Definition

After an XOR branch, for each succeeding branch a separate event is in which the respective condition is queried. The condition is defined in this field. Logical operators are used for this.

Tip

An overview on logical operators can be found on page XOR Branching.

Start Event

Anchor
Startereignis
Startereignis

Choose this option to mark an event explicitly as start event. This enables immediate identification of the start event, which is especially of importance in larger EPCs to enable faster execution. 

Note

Only ever mark one event as start event in an EPC. If this option is chosen in multiple elements a notification appears: Warning, multiple start events exist.

The EPC's execution is still ensured in this case, the correct start event will be determined automatically.
