Business Events assign Call Objectives that must be completed for specific accounts. A Business Event consists of header details, such as the type and time frame, the product and target accounts. Once accounts are targeted, users are assigned call objectives for those accounts. These objectives display when users record calls for the accounts and also as alerts on the homepage.
Business Events include record types for two Japanese-specific use cases: Early Postmarketing Phase Vigilance (EPPV) and Package Inserts (PI). The EPPV use case creates call objectives for mandated user visits to doctors once new drugs come to market and are prescribed to patients. The PI use case creates call objectives for mandated user visits to doctors once package insert information is released or updated. Custom record types can be added to support additional use cases.
Business Events use the Business_Event_vod object. Specific accounts can be targets of the Event using the Business_Event_Target_vod object.

Using Business Events
Business Events and Business Target Events are managed only on the Browser platform.
When a user creates call objectives for Business Event targets in the same territory as the user, the call objective owner is set to the user. If the HCO and the Business Event product owner (user assigned to the product in My Setup) are in different territories, the call objective owner is set to the Account owner.
