In Inventory Management, the system issues messages in the course of transactions to inform the user about certain system responses or data situations (for example, a message indicating that the order item is flagged "delivery completed").

In this step, you can define for the type of system message for a version:

  • warning message
  • error message
  • no message

A version (for example, ZZ) is maintained as parameter ID MSV in the user master record, thus representing a user or a user group.

Default Settings

  • All messages that can be controlled are stored in version 00.
  • For Inventory Management, the application area M7 is predefined.

SAP Recommendation

We recommend that you do not change the output types (for example, W for warning message) in version 00, but that you define your own versions (for example, ZZ) for changing the message type.

Caution

Messages M7 021 and M7 022 can only be used for the following cases:

  • Goods movement with reference to a reservation:
    If more than the reserved quantity is withdrawn, you can have either a warning message or an error message issued.
  • Negative stock allowed:
    If the stock balance becomes negative due to a withdrawal of goods, the system can issue a warning or an error message. If no negative stock is allowed, the system always issues an error message.

Note

If you work with goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification, you can configure whether you want to receive an error message or warning message if the invoice quantity is different from the corresponding goods receipt quantity. You configure this for the following messages in the step Define Attributes of System Messages in Customizing for Invoice Verification

  • M8 081 (Invoice quantity is greater than goods receipt quantity)
  • M8 194 (Invoice quantity is less than goods receipt quantity)

Activities

Proceed as follows to control messages according to your needs:

  1. Copy the messages (for which you would like to change the type) into a separate version (for example, ZZ).
  2. Change the type of these messages in the new version.
  3. Allocate the corresponding version to the users as follows: Define a value (for example, ZZ) for the parameter ID MSV in the user master record by selecting Goto -> Parameters.

Notes on transport connection

The features of the system messages are included in the automatic recording of changes.

No transport is supported for user maintenance.

Additional Information

  • If no parameter ID MSV is defined for a given user, the system uses version 00.
  • If no entry exists in the table for a certain version, the system issues the message as a warning.
  • If a certain type does not make sense for a version, the system uses the type from version 00 in your standard setting (usually a warning message).
