In this step, you define the message types for the arrangements.

In the SAP system, the message type is used to map various messages such as arrangements and settlement runs.

To define a message type, you must make the following entries:

  1. Message type

    Alphanumerical key with up to 4 characters, which uniquely identifies a message type.

  2. Access sequence

    Key of the access sequence.

  3. Description

    Text that describes the message type

  4. Detailed data (only the most important detailed data is described):
    1. Transmission medium

      One-character, numerical key that defines the type of message processing (such as printout, fax).

    2. Time

      One-character, numerical key that describes the time of message processing (for example, immediately when the document is saved, or at the next selection run).

    3. Partner function

      Partner function that defines the recipient.

    4. Condition access

      Indicator that you use to define that the message default for this message is to be obtained from the condition technique.

    5. Print parameters

      One-character, numerical key that defines the conditions with which the print parameters are to be determined. (see Assign Output Devices and Print Parameters).

    6. Archiving mode

      This field controls whether a document is to be printed, or archived, or both.

    7. Document type

      This field identifies the archived messages and determines whether they are arrangements, invoices etc.

Note

The values entered in the detailed data for transmission medium, time, and partner function, are automatically adopted as default values for the message type when a message record is created.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

The following message types are provided as standard:

  • WSDK: Printing of credit-side arrangement

    The condition granter can be informed of an arrangement. Printer and fax are supported as transmission media. The standard system contains a form routine for replacing text symbols. This form routine also replaces variables that relate to the fields of table KONA.

  • WSDD: Printing of debit-side arrangement

    The rebate recipient can be informed of an arrangement. Printer and fax are supported as transmission media. The standard system contains a form routine for replacing text symbols. This form routine also replaces variables that relate to the fields of table KONA.

Recommendation

To create a new message type, you copy a similar, existing message type and make the necessary changes.

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

Activities

  1. Check whether you can use the message types in the standard system and the extent to which you have to change these.
  2. Define you message types for the arrangements.
