Controlling SAP Customizable Messages

This document provides an overview of how to control customizable SAP messages. It explains that certain standard SAP error messages can be changed to warnings, information, or switched off. To register a message for customization, you use transaction SM31 to enter the application area and message number in table T100S. You can then set the message control for individual users or all users using transaction OBA5 or OBMSG by entering the message number and specifying the type (e.g. error, warning) for both dialog and background processing. This allows different message types to be set for different user groups.

The purpose of this WIKI is to explain how to control SAP customizable messages.

Set the Message Control


Call transaction OBA5 or OBMSG. Enter an application area. This is usually the same as the message class (i.e.: FICUSTOM). You can set
Message Control individually for every user or generally for all users. If a message does not yet exist, or if no entry exists for the required user,
choose 'New entries': Enter the message number in the "MsgNr" column. Enter users in the "User Name" column, if necessary. Enter message
control for dialog in the "Dialog" column (message types as above, also "-" = switch off message.
Enter message control for background in the "Batchl" column.

If you enter a specific user, for instance, end users receive the standard error message but a user in the SAP Support group only receives a
warning and is able to bypass the error.
