Transaction variants suppression of messages

[Former Member]

Hi,

In transaction variants, I believe it is possible to supress screens. Can we supress an information or warning pop-up dialog box as well ? If so where can I do the setting for this ? Can this setting be user specific ?

Thanks,

No for suppressing them using transaction variants. There may be, but very rarely a way to control them, but you have to give specifics as to which transaction, what messages etc.

When you say 'suppress' what do you mean? Warning and information pop-up dialog boxes or for that matter all pop-up messages, you can suppress the dialog box and show it in the bottom of the screen by setting it in options. In the SAP screen, you see a small colorful icon that you see next to the '?' icon. It says 'customizing of local layout'. Click on that. Select 'Options'. Select the tab for 'Options'. Uncheck the appropriate boxes under the 'Messages' section.

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Srinivas,

I checked in my system and the boxes are already unchecked. The message i am using is a custom message in material master transaction MM12 (called through a transaction variant ).

I don't think the "Options" setting applies to custom messages, because the message gets displayed as a pop-up despite the fact that those checkboxes are unticked.

My question is really very complex. There is a situation where that custom message pops up for USER A and does not display at all for USER B.

I checked the code, and its safe to tell you that there is no check on sy-uname for the message being displayed.

Could this be a profile issue. Is there a way that for certain users the pop-up functionality is suppressed?

Thanks,

As I mentioned, that setting is user specific. So you have to look at the setting of the user who is getting this popup message. It is not system specific but user's local sap gui specific.
