Message Control (SAP Library - Product Cost Planning (CO-PC-PCP))

Message Control

Use

To be able to send system messages as user messages, you can create the link between error management and message control in Customizing for Product Cost Planning. You can specify the following:

Who should receive the message
Which role this person has (for example, mail partner)
How the message should be created and sent (such as by mail or fax)
When the message should be sent (for example, when the cost estimate is saved)
The language of the message

Features

You can define the parameters for message transmission for a certain message or for a group of messages. You have the following options:

Area of responsibility and functional specification

Here you link the control parameters for message transmission to a area of responsibility (such as Purchasing) and to one of the organizational units within the area of responsibility (for example, purchasing group).

Area of responsibility

Here you link the control parameters for message transmission to a particular area of responsibility (for example, Costing).

Application area and output number

Here you link the control parameters for message transmission to a particular message. The application and output number identify the system messages.

The system uses the following sequence when it searches for a receiver of a message:

Area of responsibility and functional specification
Area of responsibility
Application area and output number
