Adjusting Message Records in Purchasing 

Use

This process step is optional. The message determination records are predefined in the IDES standard delivery with dummy printer LP01. To print the forms, you first need to assign a printer to your workplace. If you do not know your printer ID, ask your system administrator. You generally make this adjustment in the message record. However, it is also possible when you create the purchase order or at the time of printing.
