Hi ,
Just check the below info on Message Control.
Message Control
The objective of Message Control is the exchange of information between various partners and the launching of subsequent processing that is partner-independent. Message Control provides interfaces to make this possible.
You can use the Message Control interfaces to describe various data combinations along with the required processing. If one of these data combinations is found to be applicable during the processing of an application object, the appropriate processing is started (synchronously or asynchronously).
Message Control is a "service program" for other applications. It is initiated via ABAP function modules. Information about which programs carry out the subsequent processing is managed in tables . The conditions determining when programs are called are often very complex and also depend on the individual customer situation. Message Control offers the flexibility needed to represent these various situations .
Purpose
The output or follow up processing of partner-dependent messages is automated via Message Control. The application then calls the Message Control via the specified interfaces.
You can use these interfaces to describe various data combinations along with the required processing. If one of these data combinations appears during processing, the appropriate processing is started (synchronously or asynchronously). You can define processing with several different methods, for example as a workflow, print output or as an IDoc dispatch for EDI.
Implementation considerations
SD and MM applications always use Message Control for message output. You carry out Customizing of the Message Control in the application’s Customizing. The Message Control is also sometimes described here as "output control".
Integration
Message Control is a "service program" for other applications. It is initiated via ABAP function modules. An application that uses Message Control must
Call the Message Control
Transfer files which should be compared with the combinations defined in Customizing.
Provide a processed program, that is called from the Message Control, if the transferred data corresponds with the combinations defined in Customizing
Features
The condition technique in the R/3 System is used to formulate the data combinations required. If the current application data corresponds to the conditions defined in Customizing, message determination was successful and created a message default. If the application supports it, the proposal can be changed (processed).
As a result the message is processed immediately or at a defined time. The processing status of the message is stored in a status record. If the application supports it, a processing log is written as well.
Message Control scenarios:
1. The credit limit has been exceeded in a sales order, whereupon the block indicator is assigned. The Message Control should respond to the block indicator by printing out this customer’s account history.
2. A document is released and receives a corresponding status in its data record. The Message Control should thereupon issue a release message.
There are also applications which can "switch off" message determination and directly generate the message default.
Structure
Condition Components and Condition Records
The individual objects of the Message Control which are relevant in the message determination process and can be configured in Customizing or the application transaction are explained.
Message determination
This section describes how the condition component hierarchy is evaluated and how the condition tables are accessed. Different scenarios, which can be realized by special strategies when Customizing the condition component, are used as examples.
Message Default and Message Editing
The result of message determination is a message default that can be edited manually in the application, if this function is available in the application. If not, any messages found are forwarded directly for automatic processing.
Message processing
This explains how the message found can be processed.
Thanks.
