Re-Outputting of Messages/Change Messages Entering Text, Printing and Transmitting Documents MM

Use

You can re-output a message that has already been outputted (printed or transmitted). Various options are available to you, including the following:

• "Repeat message" function

You use this function if you wish to print out or transmit again a complete purchasing document that has already been outputted. Note that the system takes account in the message of any changes made to the purchasing document since it was last outputted - i.e. the system always outputs the current status of the document. If you wish to have old statuses available, you must optically archive the purchasing document. (See BC Storing Outgoing Purchasing Documents (MM-PUR)).

• Change message

You use this function if you only wish to output the changes made to the purchasing document since the last message output. Note that these changes must be output-relevant, otherwise, although the system generates a message in the queue, it is not outputted because there are no print-relevant changes. The status of the message is then "successfully processed".

Print-relevant (output-relevant) changes are changes made to the fields listed in table T166C.

Activities

1. You invoke the Messages screen as follows:

– Via the purchasing document itself (Header ® Messages) or

– Via <Purchasing document> ® Messages ® Print/transmit.

Enter the processing status 1 (successfully processed) and display the messages.

Select the desired message and choose Goto ® Message details.

2. Choose Edit
® Repeat message or Change message.

The system inserts the new message. If a change message is involved, the system sets the Change indicator.

3. Save your data.
