Message Mapping

With the help of this tool, you can substitute non-applicable or non-specific system messages (such as information, error messages, warnings, success messages, cancellation messages, and exit messages) with appropriate messages. You can make the required settings in Customizing for HR Administrative Services under Tools → Message Mapping.

Alongside this general kind of message mapping, you have the ability to define a specific kind of message mapping according to the form scenario. For more information, see Message Mapping Based on Form Scenarios .

You have several options for defining the message mapping:

Message mapping according to message type, message ID, and message number

Message mapping according to error category and message type

The following graphic gives you an overview of how the individual customer and standard customizing settings are read through the system.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

This excerpt from the flow chart should be read as follows:

The system reads the customer settings in the Customizing view V_T5ASRMSGMAP1C ( Customer: Message Mapping According to Message Type ) for the entered context, the entered processor role, and the entered message type. No values are specified for message ID and message number.

This means that the message mapping for the value entered is read.

Empty

This means that the message mapping will be applied to every message ID and message number.
