All error, warning and informational messages that are displayed
in the system are maintained on the message table. Every message is
identified by a combination of two fields:
-
Message category number. Think of a message category as
a library of messages related to a given functional area. For example,
there is a message category for billing messages and another one for
payment messages.
-
Message number. A unique number identifies each message
within a category.
Every message has two components: a brief text message and a long
description. On the Main tab, you can only maintain the brief
message. If you need to update a message's long description, you must
display the message on the Details tab.
Note:
You cannot change the product’s text. If the message
is "owned" by the product, you cannot change the product’s message
or detailed description. If you want your users to see a different
message or detailed description other than that supplied by the product,
display the message on the
Details tab and enter your desired
verbiage in the "customer specific" fields (and flush the
cache).
