Define Attributes of System Messages

In Purchasing, certain system messages containing important information for users may be issued from time to time (for example, "Net price of purchase order is higher than material price"). Users can act on the information thus provided.

In this step, you can specify whether the SAP System:

In the case of an
error message, processing cannot be continued until user input has been corrected. You can also group the messages according to user classes by saving the messages as different versions.

Activities

1. Process the list of system messages by assigning each one to a message category.
2. After having saved the message categories as different versions, you can assign a version to certain users. This results in the same message appearing as an error message for one user, but as warning for another.
For this purpose, you must assign the parameter ID "MSV" and the version number to the relevant user master records.
