An Example of using System Message
Problem in Purchasing documents
1) I had a problem while creating a P.O (Doc.type RO) referring the contract. The contract is a (WK) doc.type,value mentioned for 1 lakh, When I make a P.O referring the contract, I put Qty of items and Price in such a way by calculating, it exceeds the contract value,and the P.O gets posts and document is generated.
The sytem should not allow the P.O to post, when the contract value is exceeding, I am unable to understand where I have gone wrong.
2) The Purchase Requistion (Any Doc.type) is made and released.Immediately for checking point of view I cancel the release and do some changes and again tried to release the same It is not getting into release strategy.

The answer to your first problem is as follows:
You need to go into config (IMG): Materials Management
-> Purchasing -> Environment Data -> Define Attributes of System Messages.
Double click on "System Messages".
Find the message that corresponds to your problem: (e.g. Target value of contract & exceeded by & &) or (Target quantity exceeded by & &). In the column on the right side headed CAT set this to "E" for ERROR.
If you do this then when the target value or target quantity is exceeded an error message will appear. The system will then NOT allow you to exceed these quantities. Likewise if you only want to WARN the user that the value/quantity is being exceeded then set this to a W for warning.
