In this step, you define your message determination schemas (sometimes referred to in the system as "output determination schemas") for Agency Business.

The permitted message types for each message application are stored in a message determination schema. As a result, it is possible to have the system enter a default for the relevant messages in a settlement run.

You must first define the message types and then include them in a message determination schema.

Example

Requirements

To define a new message determination schema, copy a similar, existing schema and make the necessary changes.

If you define your own message determination schema, take account of the name space conventions.

Standard settings

Agency Business contains various document categories, which enables you to differentiate between the documents created:

  • Vendor billing document
  • Settlement request
  • Posting list
  • Settlement request list
  • Remuneration list of vendor billing documents
  • Remuneration list of settlement requests

A separate message determination schema is provided as standard at header level, and also, in the case of document lists, at item level.

The following message determination schemas are provided as standard:

  • WRKA00 (header messages, vendor billing documents)

    Includes message types WKAM and WKAO

  • WRKB00 (header messages, settlement requests)

    Includes message types WKBM and WKBO

  • WRKC00 (header messages, posting lists)

    Includes message types WKCM and WKCO

  • WRPC00 (item messages, posting lists)

    Includes the message types WPBM and WPBO

  • WRKD00 (header messages, settlement request lists)

    Includes message types WKDM and WKDO

  • WRPD00 (item messages, settlement request lists)

    Includes message types WPBM and WPBO

  • WRKE00 (header messages, remuneration lists of vendor billing documents)

    Includes message types WKEM and WKEO

  • WRPE00 (item messages, remuneration lists of vendor billing documents)

    Includes message types WPAM and WPAO

  • WRKF00 (header messages, remuneration lists of settlement requests)

    Includes message types WKFM, WKFN, WKFO and WKFQ

  • WRPF00 (item messages, remuneration lists of settlement requests)

    Includes message types WPBM, WPCM, WPDM, WPBO, WPCO and WPDO

Recommendation

To create a new message determination schema, copy a similar, existing schema and make the necessary changes.

If you define your own message determination schema, take account of the name space conventions.

Activities

  1. Check the extent to which you can use the standard schemas and what changes you would have to make. Check the assignment of the message determination schemas to the billing type.
  2. Define your message determination schemas for Agency Business.
  3. Assign your message determination schema to the billing type.

Further notes

Ensure that multiply messages are not created for documents (vendor billing documents, settlement requests) that are also processed in document lists (e.g. remuneration lists, posting lists). Multiple messages are created in the following situation:

  • A message is created during processing of the document
  • Messages are created at item level during processing of the list to which the document is assigned.

Organizational measures needed to avoid this are described here using the example of the vendor billing document. In these measures, a message is not created during processing of a vendor billing document that is processed in a remuneration list. Message creation is only triggered when the remuneration list is processed.

  1. Define two billing types, 'LF01' and 'LF02', for the vendor billing document.
  2. Define a billing type for remuneration lists of vendor billing documents, 'RLF0'
  3. Assign message determination schema WRKA00 to billing type LF01
  4. Do not assign a message determination schema to billing type LF02
  5. Assign message determination schema WRKE00 to billing type 'RLF0' at header level, and message determination schema WRPE00 at item level.
  6. Only use billing type 'LF01' for vendor billing documents that you do not process in remuneration lists.
  7. Only use billing type 'LF02' for vendor billing documents that you process in remuneration lists.
