Changing BCS error messages

[eoin_butler]

Hi,

Is it possible to customise the error messages that appear in the consolidation monitor instead of having to change the SAP standard messages. Our end users find these standard messages to be overly technical in nature, therefore more business text would assist with their understanding.

In summary, can we create z messages.

Hi,

I use the se91 transaction,where I can create the sort message in the sort-explanatory for each validation rule. This sort message you can see in the validation view, or you can write short progarm to load with PDF or excel form, so everbody can knows that is behind validation. This sort message is for example:

XXX_001. Net income BS = total income statement

Validation type: ERROR, on periodic base

The DTIFRS total of income statement positions must equal the DT-IFRS net income
reported in shareholders equity (496702000).

PL accounts= 496702000

Message: XXX_001. Net income BS<>PL!(amount1)<>(amount2)

Hi,

Technically, I think yes. Search for topic "modify standard error message".

If it is completely z message with ID and content, you could use validation. This method depends on whether or not there is enhancement/validation support in the business function.

In my opinion, when you are already in operation for sometime, it is not expected to see many errors. With the error appear frequently you should have guideline which collect all necessary checks/fixes.

Best regards.
