Understanding Message Setup

You can define two types of messages throughout JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems:

• Print messages, which are messages that you attach to different document types, customers, or suppliers.

• Item notes, which are messages that you attach to items.

You can easily and efficiently set up print messages and item notes by selecting an existing message as a base and modifying the description and text. You should also use a base message to define the same message or note in multiple languages.

On the Work with Print Message form, you have the option to display:

• Print messages or item notes.

• Current messages.

• All messages, including those that have expired.

To print a message, you can select an existing version from the versions list or create a new version.

You also can delete a message, although you should consider that:

• If you delete a message in a specific language, the system deletes only that message.

  No other languages are affected.

• If you delete the base message, the system deletes all messages that are related to the base message.

• The system removes the message code, detail information, and text lines from the text tables.
