Setting Up Overdue Event Types

An overdue event type encapsulates the business rules that govern a given type of overdue event. Open Admin Menu, Overdue Event Type to set up overdue event types.

Note: Recommendation. Before using this transaction, we strongly recommend that you review The Big Picture Of Overdue Events.

Description of Page

Enter a unique Overdue Event Type code and Description for the overdue event type.

Use Long Description to provide a more detailed explanation of the purpose of the overdue event type.

The Algorithms grid contains algorithms that control important functions. You must define the following for each algorithm:

Specify the algorithm's System Event (see the following table for a description of all possible events).
Specify the Algorithm to be executed when the System Event executes. Set the Sequence to 10 unless you have a System Event that has multiple Algorithms. In this case, you need to tell the system the Sequence in which they should execute.

The following table describes each system event (note, all system events are optional and you can define an unlimited number of algorithms for each event):
System Event	Optional / Required	Description
`Cancel Logic`	Required	This algorithm is executed to cancel an overdue event. Refer to How Are Events Canceled for the details. Click here to see the algorithm types available for this system event.
`Event Activation`	Required	This algorithm is executed to activate an overdue event on its trigger date. Refer to Overdue Events Can Do Many Things and How and When Events Are Activated for the details. Click here to see the algorithm types available for this system event.
`Event Information`	Optional - only used if you want to override an overdue event's info string	This algorithm is executed to construct an overdue event's override info string. Refer to Overdue Event Information Is Overridable for the details. Click here to see the algorithm types available for this system event.
`Monitor Waiting Events`	Optional - only used if events of this type can enter the `Waiting` state	This algorithm is invoked by the Overdue Event Manager for events in the Waiting state. Refer to Some Events Wait For Something Before Completing for the details. Click here to see the algorithm types available for this system event.
