In this section, you define the message types for the settlement runs.

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

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

  1. Message type

    Alphanumeric key with up to 4 characters, which uniquely identifies the 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 (e.g. printout, send by fax).

    2. Time

      One-character, numerical key that defines the time of message processing (e.g. 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 the message is to be provided via the condition technique.

    5. Print parameters

      One-character, numerical key that defines the conditions that are used to define the print parameters (see step Assign Output Devices and Print Parameters).

    6. Archiving mode

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

    7. Document type

      This field identifies the archived messages and determines whether they are settlement runs for an arrangement, etc.

Note

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

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

The following message types are provided in the standard system:

  • WNAK: Settlement of credit-side arrangements

    The condition granter can be informed of a settlement run. 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 tables KONA and EBAB.

  • WNAD: Settlement of debit-side arrangements

    The rebate recipient can be informed of a settlement run. 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 tables KONA and EBAB.

Recommendation

To create a new message type, 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 the extent to which you can use the standard message types, and how much you would have to change these.
  2. Define your message types for the settlement runs.
