Hi,
Validation in Accounting Documents
In this activity, you define additional checks for accounting documents in the form of validations for each of your company codes. You can assign a validation for the document header and one for the line items to each company code. The assigned validations are valid both for manual entry of documents as well as for the automatic creation of documents (for example, payment program).
For every company code to which you want to assign a validation, you store the following information:
Validation callup point
Here you enter key "1" for "Check document header" and key "2" for "Check line item".
Validation
Here there are the names of validations which already exist which you can display or change. A new validation must firstly be created by you. Afterwards the name appears in the overview.
Description of the validation
Activation level
Here you enter key "0" for inactive, key "1" for active and key "2" for active except for batch input.
Example
For example, you can use the validation for the following situation: You want to make sure that postings to the expense account "Telephone costs" can only be posted to the services cost center "Telephone". You can carry out the checks needed for this by using the validation.
Activities
If you want to define new validations, go through the following activities:
1. Place the cursor on a line in which company code and callup point are entered (you can enter company code and validation callup point via Edit -> New entries).
2. Afterwards select Environment -> Validation. You reach the first screen for maintaining a validation.
3. Select Validation -> Create. Enter the required name. After pressing ENTER, you come to an overview screen of the validation activities belonging to the validation.
4. Select Insert entry. On the next screen you can describe a new validation activity. You describe the check requirements and the actual check for this. The syntax to be used for this is described in the online help (F1 help) for the input fields for Requirements and Check. You can also define a message (warning or error message) which is sent if the check is not successful.
If you want to change validations which already exist, proceed as follows:
1. Place the cursor on an already existing entry and select Goto -> Validation.
2. On the next screen select Validation -> Display or Validation -> Change. After pressing ENTER, you get to the overview screen of the validation activities belonging to the validation. If you select Insert entry, you can carry out changes if necessary.
