Grouping Messages
Use
In order to analyze error situations and control postprocessing of messages, you can group messages according to two different criteria.

In Customizing, you can group time evaluation messages in two ways:
Origin of messages for analysis of an error situation
Time evaluation can generate messages at various stages of processing, such as during pair formation or in day processing, for example. The message types are categorized so that the system can identify the origin of the messages. This simplifies the task of
analyzing the error situation. The category of message type is contained in the key of a message type in the Time Evaluation Messages view (V_T555E). The category of message type tells you the point in processing at which a message was generated.For more information, see the Implementation Guide by choosing Personnel Time Management ® Time Evaluation ® Time Evaluation With Clock Times/Time Evaluation Without Clock Times ® Message Output ® Create Message Descriptions.
Categories of messages for postprocessing
Messages are grouped into various categories,
whichThe categories are as follows:
Termination
Some errors lead to an abnormal termination of the time evaluation program for an employee. This happens if the employee’s daily work schedule is not active at the time of the evaluation, for example. The system is then unable to evaluate the employee’s time data.
Errors that cause time evaluation to terminate automatically trigger a recalculation as of the day with errors. The errors are listed in message processing until they have been corrected.
Error
Less serious errors do not lead to a termination of time evaluation. They must still be postprocessed, however, to ensure that data is correct. An example of an error is a clock-out posting made after a daily work schedule has ended.
Errors automatically set a recalculation as of the day in question. They remain in message processing until they have been corrected.
Information
Particular situations require the attention of the time data administrator, even though they do not cause and error. Administrators must acknowledge information messages so that they disappear from the message processing function.
Note
Notes appear for information purposes only. They are displayed only once in message processing and are then flagged as completed.
Information messages and notes are not linked to a recalculation, however, they reappear every time a recalculation is triggered for the day to which they refer. If you do not want the messages to reappear, you can set an indicator that prevents this, in Customizing for message types.
