Changing messages from warning to error

[Former Member]

Hi

when i am entering wrong entries i will get warning messages. These warning messages may be v1,v2,v4 type. I know how to make the warning messages to error of V4 type. But i don't know how to make remaining message types as error.

So, plz tell how to make V1 message type as error message not by abap work.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

in most cases you need to change the program (ABAP). But in some cases (for V4 messages) you can check, if the message is applied in the transaction OVAH - than you can change the setting there. I hope, it helps you.

Best regards,

We are trying to change message V4-019 from Information to Error, but it does not appear in OVAH to make this change. Do you know how we bring in to OVAH?

OVAH does not have a "New Entries" button for the reasons discussed in SAP note 74055.

You should be aware that some messages in the SAP system are not customisable; SAP Note 544444 described this a little more (albeit for PP area but it is applicable throughout the SAP system).

It would be advisable to check with your ABAPER, the exact location where the message is being raised, to determine if it is customisable. Often, there is a call to a T160M function just before a message is raised, when it is customisable.

Hope this helps.

You want to do this without ABAP! I dont think it is possible.
