In this IMG activity, you set the appearances of system messages to meet your requirements.

You can do the following:

  • Determine the message type (error, warning, note)
  • Deactivate messages completely

You can also make different settings for online and background processing.

The corresponding determinations can apply to a client or to an individual user if necessary.

Recommendation

Use standard system messages at the beginning. If a changeable message appears, you have the option of branching to message maintenance from the message long text.

Activities

  1. Enter the work area from which the messages come. In Controlling, enter "KI" for CO checks.
  2. Choose "Edit -> New entries".
  3. Enter the following data:
    • Message number
      • Note that you can change only certain messages in a work area; others are fixed.
    • User name
      • If you enter a name, the settings are valid for this user only. If you enter a blank space, the settings are valid for all client users.
    • Message type
      • Enter the given message type.
    • Save your entries. The message texts are automatically implemented.
