Price Catalog Error Recording

Error recording is the first step in error management. In enhanced price catalog editing, you can manually record and save incorrect article proposals (from the price catalog tables) as errors. You can then use the message manager to send the recorded errors to the vendors for correction (this is the second step in error management).

Prerequisites

Features

Options in enhanced price catalog editing (transaction W_PRICAT_MAINTAIN)

Use (Record Error for Selected Field) to start error recording. Depending on the field for which you use the pushbutton, it displays a different text and enables various types of error recording.

Use (Show/Hide Error Overview) to open the window for error recording, and show all errors that are currently in processing for the current price catalog.

For more information on how to proceed, see Recording Errors in the Price Catalog.

Lines/columns in the error details

Line/Column	Function
GTIN of UoM	ID of a trade item: This can relate to either the base unit of measure or a packaging unit.
Field description	Name of the field for which an error is recorded.
Error code	Frequently-occurring errors are stored in a Customizing table, with a four-digit code (error code) and an error description in short form. You can select one of these codes here, using the F4 help. The error code has a description in the Customizing table, and can also have an optional long text. If the indicator Internal Error is set in Customizing for an error code, the error is not sent to the vendor and is therefore available only for internal use. In the overview, it is shown as Solved. The remaining error codes are taken into account when sending the vendor message. For more information, see Confirmation Using Message Manager (with Error Recording).
Incorrect value	Specifies the current value of the relevant field. This is the value from the original line for the trade item.
Expected value	You specify the value that you expect here, that is, the correct value for the field.
Error code description	Contains the description (short text) for an error code.
Language	Language selection.
Error text	You can enter a text for the error here. This text can also be predefined in Customizing for each error code; it is then shown here, and you can adapt it.
Internal note	Input window for internal information.
