Urgent:Time Entry Rule Creating Issue on Hitting Back Button

Question

Hello,
We have created a Time Entry Rule to see if one of the Field either a Department or Project on the TimeCard is entered. The validation works fine for the first time when hitting the continue button.
However on hitting the back button the validation fires again although department is there. Here is the snippet of the code.
Can somebody please tell me what is the additional check that i need to perform so as to ensure that it doesnt fir again on hitting the back button.
i NUMBER := 0;
j NUMBER := 0;
l_status NUMBER := 0;
tc_blocks                Hxc_Self_Service_Time_Deposit.timecard_info;
tc_attribs                Hxc_Self_Service_Time_Deposit.building_block_attribute_info;
pragma autonomous_transaction;
BEGIN
tc_blocks := Hxc_Self_Service_Time_Deposit.get_building_blocks;
tc_attribs := Hxc_Self_Service_Time_Deposit.get_block_attributes;
hr_utility.set_location ('Prior Loop',1);
i := tc_blocks.FIRST;
--hr_utility.trace_on(null,'ORACLE');
hr_utility.set_location ('Entering ff_formulas_pkg.OGER_CHK_TIMECARD_FIELDS', 1);
WHILE i IS NOT NULL
LOOP
IF(tc_blocks(i).scope = 'TIMECARD') THEN
j:=tc_attribs.FIRST;
WHILE j IS NOT NULL
LOOP
BEGIN
INSERT INTO LOG VALUES(UPPER(tc_attribs(j).attribute_category)||' '||tc_attribs(j).attribute6);
commit;
IF (UPPER(tc_attribs(j).attribute_category) = 'ELEMENT - 176' and (tc_attribs(j).attribute6 IS NOT NULL OR tc_attribs(j).ATTRIBUTE3 IS NOT NULL)) THEN
l_status := 1;
EXIT;
END IF;
END;
j:=tc_attribs.NEXT(j);
END LOOP;
END IF;
i:=tc_blocks.NEXT(i);
END LOOP;
RETURN l_status;
