Control message in F-47

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I need to know whether there is a way to control the message F5 371 - Purchasing document belongs to another supplier . SAP does not allow to change this message in message control. (SPRO>Investment Management>Appropriation Requests>Master Data>Control Data>Maintain Message Control)

This is only a warning message in F-47.  I need to make this to an error. Please give your ideas.

Regards,

Hi Jeewana,

To change the message status:

> Go to Tcode OBA5

> Enter F5 in the application area and press enter

> Click on new entries

> Press F4 on Msg no. and system will provide a list of messages which can be edited.

But F5 371 happens to be one of the messages - the status of which cannot be changed.

That's the thing. Why SAP has made it unchangeable? Is there any way we can change it without the help of an ABAPer?

Hi Jeewana,

You can give it a try through VALIDATION.

Hi Jeewana,

Since it is not effecting any balances (only noted items in t.code fbl1n/fbl5n) SAP has provided feasibility to change the vendor master while making the Down payment request (f-47) against Purchase order vendor.

I don't think so it is possible through normal validation. Either  user exit or any BADI's needs to be done.
