Setup Action Messages

Setup Action Messages – Item Level

This activity allows you to setup action messages for a specific item/item group. You can set the action messages either at plant or the business unit level. The system retrieves the corresponding action messages defined for that item/item group at the plant or business unit level. The parameters are set for the action messages and the parameter value can be specified based on each parameter and action message defined. Once the value is specified, you can deploy the messages for the item/item group.

A single action message can have more than one parameter defined and when this action message is deployed, the system displays a success message for the entire set of the action message and not for each individual message. The system updates the login ID of the user and the system date as a part of creation and modification details.
