Conditional Execution of Validation Rule defined in EO

Hi All
I'm developing a web application using jdeveloper 11.1.0.3
I have a drop down list with some values. There is a compare validation rule defined in EO object for an attribute. But I dont want to fire this validation only when a certain value from the drop down list is selected.
When we go to edit option of this validation rule there is a tsb called validation execution. I want to know how to fill conditional execution area to full fill my problem

You can create a Groovy expression in the 'Validation Execution' tab to return true based on which the validation rule will be applied. The new value of the attribute can be accessed via the attribute context validation variable 'newValue'
Check this blog for more details on validation rules:

hope this helps.

Assigning Validation Rules to a Condition for Order Line entity

Hi,
Do we have any API(or interface) to load some validation rule( rule like 'Inventory Item= some item numbers) to a condition for Order line entity. (i.e. to load records into OE_DEF_CONDN_ELEMS).
Please let me know, thanks in advance

I am not sure of the purpose, if this to enforce a processing constraint, I will use API in the validation template defitniion and in the API I will qualify the items.
You can have these items setup in value set of a look up (custom) and then have user interface control on the same.
Is that what you are looking for?
Thanks

Hi samatha b
Thanks for your response. I have done as you said and now i can rise the exception.
I have another requirement as per the validation transformation the data will load into Pass table and Fail table after job execution. If any data entered into fail table i have delete the data loaded into Pass table.
Here i am facing problem as my target tables are MySQL tables and when i am writing scripts i wrote the script as
sql('database','delete from <tablename>');
but as it is an SQL Query execution it is rising exception for the query.
How can i delete the data loaded into MySQL Target table using scripts.
Please guide me for this error also
Thanks in Advance

Validation rule revision

I define a validation rule in OB28, for company code , if account=cost of sales account, cost center not equal to 1100, then issue error message, it works fine for FB50. but when SD perform goods issue in delivery, it block the posting to Cost of goods sold account, and display the error message i defined in OB28
our cost account doesn't have cost element, so how can I revise my OB28 validation rule?
should I write "company code=1200 and (T-code=FB50 or T-code=FB60 or T-code=F-02) and account=cost account" in OB28 condition, can it solve the problem, does goods issue call F-02?
if I use OKC7, OKC9 co validation rule, should I write "controling area= 1200 and cost element=cost account" in condition, does it also solve the problem?

hi
exclude the document type in you validation in table BKPF and field is Blart Not equal to document type
AND BKPF-BLART <> 'RC'

Validation Rule Error :Invalid Member Name In Lookup ({|0|}) value

We defined fdm validation rule as follows.
|Actual, April, 2010, YTD, ENTITY CURRENCY, Mumbai, TotalAssets, [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE]|-|Actual, April, 2010, YTD, ENTITY CURRENCY, Mumbai, TotalLiabilities, [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE]|= 0
After testing the above rule definition, it gives below error message.

C4: [NONE] [0]
Also we could see in the Expression after lookup substitution (scratch pad): we are getting 0-0=0.
Please provide you inputs.

I have not looked closely, but C1 is showing as "Missing Value". Have you checked to see if [None] is a valid member for the account you have selected (TotalLiabilities)?

Exit in the Validation rule is not working in Project system

Hi Team,
I have created a validation rule for wbs and inserted a exit under check condition. But when i trying to test the validation rule, exit is not called. Is there any other step to activate the exit??

Hi,
The code you have written in the exit must be activated. Please check the same.

Asset master record validation rule

Dear All,
Could you tell me the way, how i can write a validation/substitution rule in the Asset master record. I need to make sure the below steps shoud be the same:
A. Cost center in the Aseet master record.
B. Responsible cost center in the asset master record.
C. Responsible cost center in the WBS element of the same asset.
The above three should be the same. User should not be allowed to change, if tries to change error shoud be thrown.
Regards,
Suresh Patipati.

OACV Define Validation
OACS Define Substitution
The Respond cost center is copied from the WBS to Asset. Set this field on display int he asset.
Financial Accounting / Asset Accounting / Master Data / Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data / Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data
When this give problems with the copy rule from PS you can set-up authorization groups
Financial Accounting / Asset Accounting / Preparing for Production Startup / Authorization Management / Process Asset Views

Cross Validation Rules

I accidentally defined a cross validation rule (CVR) wrongly. My intention was to ensure that cost centre values other than 999 couldnt be combined with balance sheet accounts.
It appears to work initially, except that it prevents me from posting to any non-balance sheet accounts codes, because in the journal entry window the only cost centre segment value that I see is 999, and in the account code segment, the only values that I see are balance sheet account codes.
I need to see other cost centre values and account code values so as to post to P&L account codes, but they are not showing in the journal entry window. I have tried many times to disable the CVR but it hasnt help. I tried to change the CVR and saved it but it hasnt help either.
Can someone let me know how to remove this annoying cross validation rule altogether so that I will be back to where I started?

hi colin,
obviously it is not the CVR problem, coz CVRs will not effect the LOVs. check the security for the responsibility you are using.
thanks,

Apply MRU conditional execution

Hi!
I am using a tabular form and would like to update the rows (using ApplyMRU) only if two values in items P2_SUM_PLN and P2_FIKSNI_BR are equal.
I have tried by adding a condition to the process but it seems that the process does not fetch the values of the items.
e.g. Value of Item / Column in Exp 1 = Exp 2
Exp 1 = P2_FIKSNI_BR
Exp 2 = &P2_SUM_PLN.
The same condition works as a Dynamic Action.
The value of the number in P2_FIKSNI_BR is calculated via a SQL command, and the value of P2_SUM_PLN via a JavaScript.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am not sure what kind of "Conditional Execution" you are looking for.
Syndication Server is based on the "Port" concept and we can associate an already saved Syndicator Map that also includes your Search criteria. So, the syndication server simply executes this map at a defined interval and places the file in the appropriate folder of the "Port". But, Syndication server cannot determine the map to be executed based on a condition and it also cannot determine search criteria within a map based on a condition.
If your requirement is to execute a map based on a condition, I suggest you to use "Syndicator Batch" commands and use a program that triggers appropriate map based on this condition.
Hope this helps,

Conditional execution of main DataTemplate

Hi All,
I am working on a Report in BI Publisher where the Data Model consists of three data sets of type-data template which are as below:
1) Before Trigger
2) Main DataTemplate
3) After Trigger
Now, I need to conditionally execute the main DataTemplate, depending on the return value of a function called in "Before Trigger". So, when function returns true, "Main DataTemplate" code is to be included in execution, and when it returns false we need only the code in "After Trigger" to be executed.
Please guide me in achieving the above.
Thanks
Actual Problem- Elaborated:-
In a report, first we need to check if the table used in code exists. In case it does, actual report is to be generated, and in case the table does not exist an error message is to be displayed as pdf output.
To achieve this we have a function in "Before Trigger" that returns true/false based on table's existence. Now we need to execute the report code depending on the outcome of this function.
For value = true, normal execution of report is to take place
For value = false, code of main datatemplate needs to be bypassed, and flow to "After Trigger" so as to avoid BI Publisher error "table or view does not exist".
The display of report/customised error message as output can be handled at the rtf level using sub-templates and if-else statements.
Please let me know in case you need some other details from my end.

Validation rule for expense type

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to create a validation rule for expense type and personnel number.
I need to lock some expense types for some personnel number.
Thanks in advance.
Osmar Tardivo.

Hello,
Sorry to say but I am not aware of any customization which restrict an expenses type based on personal number..
There is a setting which can restrict Travel Expense Types based on Employee Grouping. Please go through below path.
Travel Management-> Travel Expenses-> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses-> Control Parameters from Travel Privileges-> Define Employee Grouping for Travel Expense Types
Hope this help you!
Thanks,

CO validation rule for cost center

we want system to show error message when user post to cost center other than 1111 for GL account between 540000 to 541000, how to define the validation rule?

You can put FI validation (Ob28) , give restriction to co code BSEG-BUKRS ( for your co code ) and BSEH-HKONT ( for GL account for you want to restrict) and have check on BSEG-KOSTL and then assign the error message.

Validation rule in Funds management.

Dear Friends,
We use commitment items to monitor the budgets with overall budget for budget type Payment budget
In some cases, users are posting some adjustment entries to transfer the consumed budget values from one commitment item to another.
Ex:
Original Entry: Expenses incurred 1000, So entry booked with PK40, 123456 (expense GL), amt 1000, and commitment item ABC.
So at a later stage they came to know that they have used a wrong commitment item for the above document.(Correct CI would have been DEF)
So they are posting an adjustment entry like
PK40 GL123456 amt 1000 CI DEF
PK50 GL123456 amt 1000 CI ABC
So when i check the funds management doc for the above doc, FM uses VALUE TYPE 66 to do the transfer postings to commitment items, since these documents are giving wrong impact on my CI overall balances report FMRP_RFFMTO31X - Overall Budget -> Totals Records .
For the debit commitment item, it is not adding that amount in invoice column of above report, but it is comsuming the budget. So there is a mismatch in my total record for the debited commitment item.
For the credti commitment item, it is not deducting that amount in invoice column of above report, but it is increasing the budget. So there is a mismatch in my total record for the credited commitment item.
(Ex: Total budget-invoices-open items = Available budget) This is not happening at all
So i tried to restrict these kind of postings with a validation in FM like
Prerequisite: BPJA_VALID-FIKRS = 'AE69' (AE69 is my FM area)
Check: BPJA_VALID-WRTTP < > '66'
Message: Error message.
And activated the same in SPRO->PSM->FMG->Budgeting and Avl Control (Former Budgeting)->Budgeting (Former Budgeting)->Validation rules->Activate Funds Management Validation----
But still i am able to post those kind of documents.
Is there any other workaround for this restriction or can only be restricted by a validation?
Please corret me if i am wrong in validation condition expressions.
Thanks,
Srinu

Hi,
Actually we are using a Z program, which is copied from standard program as said earlier.
In the z program, we made some conditions to treat value type 66 also as like 54.
Now we are getting our report as expected.
Thanks,
Srinu...
