Customizing SAP returned messages in Process Runner

Previous  Top  Next

Process Runner allows users to customize messages at file level. Previously this option was available only globally for application level (Options-> Transaction-> SAP Return Message Settings).

**File level message customization has precedence over application level messaging. i.e. if you have assigned different messages for same message number both at application level and at file level then file level messaging will be effective.

Let us see in detail how we achieve this with the help of an example.

Notice the data file of MM02-Change Material transaction below.

We have purposely made two entries of Net weight greater than Gross weight. Thus SAP returns the standard message as below

Let us change these messages to something else.

In Home tab, click on More.. button

Go to Advance setting tab and add the message ID. Change the Message to File Level Messaging – Net Weight is greater than Gross Weight. Thus we can know that this is a File level message.

Notice the message below after running the transaction.

Deactivating it will switch back to retrieving original SAP messages.

File level messaging has precedence over global application. We will notice that now.

Enable the file level messaging if not active.

Now add application level message (with same message ID and No.) from Options-> Transaction-> SAP returned messages

If you run the transaction now, it will still display the file level message.

Only if you disable it, it will switch to Application level message that we entered in Options.

Clicking on “Copy All Default Messages” will copy all messages in Options (Application level) in here.
