Creating Condition Records for Message Determination (SAP Library

Creating Condition Records for Message Determination

Use

For the various target groups (vendor, customer, employee), you create condition records for a Message type:

For target group Vendor at Purchasing organization/vendor level

For target group Customer at Sales organization/distribution channel/division/customer level

For target group Employee at Company code level

For each target group, you can also maintain additional parameters for message output, if required. These parameters then override the data that is maintained as default values in Customizing for the message type.

The following procedure shows how you create condition records for the various message types that are defined in Customizing.

Procedure

Choose Trading contract ® Environment ® Messages ® Edit ® Create.

Enter the Output type (message type) for which you want to create condition records.

If you want to create condition records for the target group Vendor and Customer, enter the Partner function of the business partner.

If you want to create condition records for the target group Employee, do not enter a partner function, as the message type for this target group is marked as partner-independent.

You can also enter the following (optional) parameters in the list:

Partner

You can enter a different recipient of the message.

Transmission medium

You can output the message on a printer or fax machine, for example.

Time of message output

You can start message processing (e.g. printing) manually or automatically at various times.

Language

You can define the language in which the text is displayed, entered, and printed out.

Under Communication, you can define the following data, for example:

Output device
Number of messages
Text for the cover sheet
Storage mode

Save your entries.

Result

The entries are created as condition records in the database.

When message control records are created for a trading contract, the system searches for valid condition records in line with the message types entered in Customizing.
