The incompleteness check reminds you that data essential for processing is missing from the trading contract. The system creates a log in the status view listing all missing data. You may be allowed to save a trading contract containing incomplete fields, but you are not allowed to release the trading contract for further processing. Subsequent processes can only be carried out when the data in a trading contract is complete.

You determine which data should be logged when missing and establish whether you are allowed to save the document with missing data. The incompleteness check that you define specifies different missing data fields for different types of trading contracts.

For example, when entering data in a trading contract for export business, you require an Incoterm entry. If you do not enter the Incoterm, this field is listed on the incompleteness log and further processing is blocked.

You can check which data is incomplete during trading contract processing.

1. Go to the status view in trading contract, the completeness check option is displayed in the right top corner. A red signal shows particular data is missing from the trading contract. Select the list button to see detailed information on the missing data.
2. When you select line in the incompleteness log the system displays the appropriate maintenance screen.
3. The status signal turns to green when all missing data is maintained.
