Message Class for Validations

Former Member — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:20:14 GMT

Dear Experts,

We are on SAP 4.6C. I am trying to create a validation on WBS elements

for a project. Using transaction GGB0. I would like to issue an error

message from a different custom message class. However, I cannot

change the message class for the WBS element validation. The "Message

ID" field on the Create/Change Validation screen is greyed out and the

Extras -> Change Message Class is also greyed out.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Venkat.

Hi,

1. Double click on WBS element node

2. Select Environment --> Change Message Class from menu

3. Enter boolean class as 71 for WBS element

4. Enter old message class and new

5. Select test run to see if it can be changed.

6. If no error then execute wihout test.

Hope this helps.

Enjoy SAP.

Pankaj Singh.

Hi Pankaj,

After step 5, it comes back with an error message: "Data inconsistency in validation check CSFELM step ****, client <number>"

Do you have any suggestions? Point to note is that it still saves the change if we ignore the message and go forward. But, is this OK?

The error was caused due to a message class created in DEV without using a transport request. Removed the validation and it's working now. Thanks for the answer.
