Specify User-Def.Msg Types for Sales Order Costing and Order BOM Costing

In this step you can change the default message type for certain messages for sales order cost estimates and order BOM cost estimates.

Example

The following example is from the user-defined error management of Product Cost Planning:

There is no minimum message type for the message CK 037 "Lot size & & transferred from the costing view".

If you set the message type to " " (Blank), the message is not displayed in the log.

If you set the message type to "I" (Information), the message is displayed in the log. The cost estimate receives the status "calculated".

If you set the message type to "E" (Error), the cost estimate receives the status "With errors" after the message is issued and cannot be marked and released. .

The minimum message type is "I" (Information) for the message CK 065 "The activity type & in controlling area & cannot be allocated".

If the message type is "I" (Information), the message is displayed in the log. The cost estimate receives the status "Costed" and can be marked and released.

If you set the message type to "E" (Error), the cost estimate receives the status "With errors" after the message is issued and cannot be marked and released.

You cannot set the message type " " (Blank) for this message.

Standard Settings

2. Position your cursor on the desired message type and choose Enter . The system changes the message type for the selected message.
