Purpose

In the Trading Contract component, you can use message determination to create messages for trading contracts for the following target groups:

Messages for the target group Customer only contain sales-related information on products and services (such as sales prices and quantities). Information on the vendor and the prices they are asking is not provided.

Messages for the target group Vendor only contain purchasing-related information on products and services (such as purchase prices and quantities). Information on the customer and prices they are prepared to pay is not provided.

Messages for the target group Employee contain sales- and purchasing-related information for the trading contract.

You can use various transmission media, such as print output, fax or e-mail, to output/send the messages that are created.

Prerequisites

You must maintain the necessary settings for message determination in Customizing for Trading Contract. To create message control records (see below), you must have created condition records for the message types.

For further information see:
