Validation of Document Splitting 

Use

Validation is an important step for the migration if document splitting is introduced. Since the posting logic may in some cases change considerably, it can assist users in learning the new logic to perform the introduction in production operation. Validation helps you to perform the transition to the new posting rules and offers the following options for posting activities:

●     Log

At the start of the validation, it may be the case that not all of the rules for document splitting have been set up in the system. The system logs all missing entries. While the user performing the postings remains unaware of the transition, the project team can analyze the documents posted and change over the Customizing settings correspondingly, or define tasks for a training session.

●     Output of a Warning Message.

The user is now made aware each time a document he or she has posted contravenes the rules on document splitting. It is useful to apply this setting once the users have attended a training session and know how postings need to be performed.

●     Output of an Error Message.

Using this setting produces the situation that would occur after the migration. A document cannot be posted when an error is made (be it a user error or a Customizing error).
