Documentation

Definition

This key determines how each system message is processed by the system.

Use

For a number of situations in shipping the message type can be rerouted within certain defined limits. Using these you can influence:

1. whether a message should appear in collective processing or in an interactive log
2. whether a message should appear at all
3. how the system responds to a situation: normally message type 'E' does not allow any further processing. You cannot create or change items.

You can use the following categories to control the message type in certain situations during shipping processing:

Message type ' ':

• No message

Message type I:

• can appear in the collective processing log if this has been defined in Customizing activity Copy messages with type 'I' into collective processing log.
• appears in a dialog box as an information message.

Message type W:

• does not appear in the log
• appears in a dialog box as a warning.

Message type E:

• appears in the log and the system prevents further processing.
• appears in a dialog box as an error.
