Consolidation (EC-CS)

A process of checking values and combinations of values as they are entered into the SAP System.

Entered values are checked using a user-defined Boolean statement (this is a prerequisite). If the statement is true, the SAP system validates the data using a second Boolean statement (as a check).

• If the check statement is true, the system posts the data.
• If the check statement is false, the system displays a user-defined message.

Whether the entry can be posted depends on the message type.

Validation occurs before the data is posted so that only valid data is posted.
