Ok, so you have maintained "A" at the sales document level.

So are you able to get Warning message stating "PO number already used for sales order xxxx"...??

Let me know...

Sunil,

So you want the system to throw an Error message or no message at all...

What type of message are you planning to set up..

Hi,

I want to convert this warning message into an error message...

Sunil,

To convert this message from Waring to Error, follow the steps below:

SPRO --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Define Variable Messages or altenatively you can use T-code OVAH

This is a config change and requires a CTS number to proceed with;

Here you select the following:

Version = (Blank)

App Ar = V4

<b>Message Number = 115</b>

Message Text for this would be "Purchase order number in document number: & already exists"

Select this and go to "Category" column, here you will find "E" select this and save.

Hope this will help you out!

Hi Sunil,

System Variable messages are those which system proposes by default. For e.g goto IMG> Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Define Variable Messages (T-code-OVAH). Here you can see all V4 messages. In each of the message you can decide weather the message should act as ERROR or WARRNING.

Hope this info helps you.

REWARD if it helps you!!

Hi Sunil,

If you tell the scenarios and error messages(The constant and variable parts of the message,) the development guys should be able to enable the same for you.

They generally create a message class and message number of a message type in SE91.

Then this message will be called within some Z programs/userexits/enhancements.

Reward if t his helps.

Hi Sunil,

you can change the status of variable messages through SPRO- sales and dis- sales docs- define variable messages. to create new mesaages you may heve to explore the ABAP route.
