Making a warning message to Error in VA01 transaction

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to change warning message to error while creating order with reference to a quotation using VA01 transaction .

Message : 'Reference document was only valid until &'

Message No: 009

Message Class: V2.

Right now standard SAP gives warning message and allows to create order eventhough the quotation is invalid but instead I want the system to give hard error and stop creating the order.

I have checked transaction OVAH and OVM1 but they are of no use.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Sonali.

Please check in the sales document the Incomplete Message Icon is active or not. If it not then check the icon. If the icon is checked it will not allow you to save the document if there is an incomplete data in order

Hi Sonali,

1. In VOFM, Data Transfer -> Orders, copy routine 051 into new one (e.g. 901).

2. In this newly created routine add following statements along with the existing statements form 051.

IF cvbak-bnddt < sy-datum.

MESSAGE E247 WITH '051'.

ENDIF.

3. In transaction VTAA, choose target is S/O and source it Quotation. In Data Transfer routine at header level put 901.

This will stop creating S/O form Quotation which are expire.

Regards,

Mandar
