Message Determination Schemas

In this section, you define your message determination schemas and assign them to the relevant purchasing documents.

A message determination schema contains the permissible message types for each message application (new printout, reminder, etc.). This allows the system to automatically suggest the associated messages as defaults in purchasing documents.

Prerequisites

You must first define the message types. Then you must include them in a message determination schema.

Note

Only one schema and only one message type can be assigned to each purchasing document.

Recommendation

• To define a new message determination schema, copy a similar, already-existing one and make the necessary changes.

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

Actions

Check to what extent you can use the message schemas included in the standard SAP System and to what extent you have to change them. Also check the assignment of the message schemas to the purchasing documents.
