Manually Creating and Editing Message Control Records

Use

You can manually create and edit message control records (NAST records) for agency documents to enable you to select parameters, such as message type or communication parameters, that are not defined in Customizing for message determination.

Prerequisites

It must be possible to process the agency document in change mode (for example, documents that have not yet been transferred to Financial Accounting).

Procedure

1. Choose
Agency Business, the relevant agency document category, and then Change.
2. Enter the number of the agency document and choose Execute.

The agency document is displayed in change mode.

3. Choose Extras ® Messages ® Edit header or item

You go to a list that displays the NAST records created for the document.

4. Create a new NAST record or edit the NAST records in the list.

You can enter the following parameters:

• Message type
• Transmission medium of the message
• Partner function
• Partner that receives the message

If you create a NAST record manually, you must also enter an archiving mode (such as Print only) for the message under the Communication method. You can also maintain additional data such as the time when the message is to be sent.

5. Save your entries.
