      <Paragraph>In mixed model flow production environments many activities are
		based on the progress information of individual orders. When an event selected
		by the user occurs for an order on a certain line station another activity can
		be started. In the system, process triggering covers the automatic start and
		execution of a process baded on an event.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>The concept of process triggering holds that an event at a
		certain line station is used as a trigger to fire the execution of a session.
		For example, the completion of a line station order can be used as a trigger to
		execute the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc5451m000" role="session">Start Print Work Instructions (tiasc5451m000)</GUIRef> session to print work
		instructions for the next line station. This way you can also use events on a
		main assembly line to trigger processes on a supplying line to synchronize the
		production process.</Paragraph>

         <ListIntro>These events can trigger processes:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Completion of a line station order.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Offsetting of a line station order.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>When an event occurs at a certain station it can trigger the
		  start and automatic execution of activities on a specified other station such
		  as:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Requesting assembly start at a supplying line.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Printing of work instructions.</ListItem>

            <ListItem>You must use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl8210m000" role="session">Display and Handle Process Triggers (tiasl8210m000)</GUIRef> session to enable the
