Warnings are messages in the form of a question that the user must respond to. Warnings allow the user to continue or terminate an action.

Warnings should be direct and concise. For example, use "Delete this Order?" rather than "Do you really want to delete this Order?"

(OMS-75019) Warning messages show a "yield" sign, the message text (ending with a question mark), and relevant buttons (such as "Yes" and "No" or "Delete" and "Cancel").

Examples:

"Delete this Purchase Order?"

"Cancel this Order?" ("Yes" & "No" buttons)

"Copy all the Lines on this Invoice?"

"This customer is on Credit Hold. Continue the Order?"

(OMS-75035) The standard generic delete message used in Oracle Applications is "Delete this record? (Cancel/Delete)" with Delete as the default button on the right. More specific delete messages are used where appropriate.
