A Question about Event Creation Using Message Control

[David Holland]

Mike,
As far as distinguishing between the two, I noticed that the 3rd output type 
I created (ZWF3) using the already created CREATED event actually triggered 
another workflow already in operation.
I'm not sure why the output type (ZWF1) configured for VBRK.CREATED didn't 
get created when I created a normal bill because ZWF1 is configured for 
VBRK.CREATED for Normal Bills billing type.

I think I might play safe and go for a new ZCREATED event.

Thanks
Dave
