Description of Page

To add a new message category, enter a Message Category number and Description.

CAUTION:
Message category 80000 or greater must be used to define new messages introduced for a specific implementation of the system. Changes to other Message Text will be overwritten when you next upgrade. If you want to make a change to a Message, drill down on the message and specify Customer Specific Message Text. Note that even for message categories 80000 and higher, message numbers lower than 1000 are reserved for common base product messages.
Note: Owner indicates if this message category is owned by the base product or by your implementation (Customer Modification). The system sets the owner to Customer Modification when you add a category. This information is display-only.

To update a message, you must first display its Message Category. You can optionally start the message grid at a Starting Message Number.

To override the message text or detailed description of messages owned by the base product, click on the message's go to button. When clicked, the system takes you to the Details tab on which you can enter your implementation's override text.

The following points describe how to maintain messages owned by your implementation:
