Define Message Schema for Request for Quotation (SAP Library

Define Message Schema for Request for Quotation

In this step, you define your message schema for the request for quotation and assign it to the RFQ.

The allowed message types for each message application (new printout, expediter, etc.) are stored in a message schema. This enables the system to suggest the relevant message automatically in an RFQ.
You must first define the message types and then enter them in a message schema.

Note

Only one schema and one message type can be assigned to the RFQ.

Recommendation

To define a new message schema, copy a similar, already-existing schema and make any necessary changes.

If you define your own message schema, the key should begin with the letter Y or Z, because SAP keeps these name slots free in the standard system supplied.

Activities

1. Check to what extent you can use the message schemas included in the standard SAP System and to what extent you must change them. Also check the assignment of the message schema to the RFQ.

2. Define your message schema for the RFQ.

3. Assign your message schema to the message application of the RFQ. To do so, choose the step Assign Schema to RFQ in the Customizing activity.
