Why is my validation working in this way?

Question

I have a form which consists of Invoice Header data.
-For the Invoice header it consists of Multiple Invoice Line Details.
-For each of these line Detail, i have multiple Invoice Distribution Lines
Now For each Invoice Line we have Line Amount.
Also For each Distribution line we have to enter Distribution Amount.
Now the Line Amount should be equal to the Sum of the Distribution Amount of each Distribution Line under the Invoice Lines.
Here is the code that i wrote for this validation in the validateEntity() method of the EO for the Invoice Lines.
RowIterator rowset=getDistEO();// get the rowset for the Distribution Lines EO
System.out.println("the number of rows are ="+rowset.getRangeSize());
Row row=null;
int distLineTotal=0;//set the variable for Total Distribution amt as 0
int lineAmt=getAmount().intValue();// get the Line Amount for the Invoice Line
System.out.println("in Line EO Line amt is = "+ lineAmt);
//do the validation only if the any Distribution Line is present
if( rowset.getRangeSize()>0){
while((row=rowset.next())!=null){
//Loop and set the Distribution Amount total
distLineTotal=distLineTotal+((Number)row.getAttribute("Amount")).intValue();
System.out.println("distLineTotal is = "+ distLineTotal);
if(distLineTotal>lineAmt &&distLineTotal==0){
// Throw the exception if the Line Amount is less than Distribution Amount Total
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,getEntityDef().getFullName(),getPrimaryKey(),"Amount",getAmount(),"XXLBCARC","XXLBC_LINE_GREATER_THAN_DIST" );
}else if(distLineTotal<getAmount().intValue()&&distLineTotal==0){
// Throw the exception if the Line Amount is greater than Distribution Amount Total
throw new OAAttrValException(OAException.TYP_ENTITY_OBJECT,getEntityDef().getFullName(),getPrimaryKey(),"Amount",getAmount(),"XXLBCARC","XXLBC_LINE_LESSER_THAN_DIST" );
Also for the Invoice Lines i have a Image by pressing which we would go to the Distribution Lines page.
For this button i have set the disable the server side and client side validation to TRUE
Now the validation works fine and suppose for the Invoice Line which is an Advanced table, if for rows 1 and 2 the Following exception is thrown.
Error
Row 1 Error - The Line Amount is Greater than the Distribution Line Amount Total.
Row 2 Error - The Line Amount is Lesser than the Distribution Line Amount Total.
Now this is fine.
But Now suppose i click on the Image for Distribution Line, for the Invoice line 1 i.e. Row 1
, it wont let me go to the Distribution Page.
Instead the the error lines get added at the top of my screen like the following:
Row 1 Error - The Line Amount is Greater than the Distribution Line Amount Total.
Row 2 Error - The Line Amount is Lesser than the Distribution Line Amount Total.
Row 2 Error - The Line Amount is Lesser than the Distribution Line Amount Total.
Row 2 Error - The Line Amount is Lesser than the Distribution Line Amount Total.
I have to first click on the Image for Distribution Line, for the Invoice line 2 i.e. Row 2, make the correction in the Distribution Page for that, then come back to the Invoice Line page and then I can make changes for the
Invoice line 1 i.e. Row 1.
Why cant i make changes to Invoice line 1 i.e. Row and the go to Invoice line 1 i.e. Row 2?
