Activating Validations for Data Transfer (SAP Library - Executive Information System and Business Planning)

Activating Validations for Data Transfer

Activating

After you have created Validations, you establish when and which of the validations are checked during the data transfer. Activation of validations also occurs in Customizing.

On the initial screen of the validation maintenance, choose the menu path Validation ® Activate for ® Data transfer. A table appears with the sender structures of the aspect. Here you can assign a validation and/or a matrix validation to the various sender structures. (For general information on data transfer, see Data Transfer).

Checking data during data transfer

After you have started the data transfer, the validation is automatically executed after the summarization of the data (with receiver records).

If the data does not correspond to one of the validation rules, the message created for it appears:

If there are only messages of type W (Warning) or I (Information), a log is written but the data is saved anyway.
If a message of type A (Termination) or E (Error) is present, the data is not saved. It is noted in both the validation log and the transfer log that the validation has registered errors.

Evaluating validation logs

To see the validation logs: in the EC-EIS application menu choose Transaction data ® Data entry ® Display logs, and in the EC-BP application menu choose Plan data ® Transfers ® Validation log. On the following screen you can then limit the selection of the logs.
