Errors in Data Records

You can determine how the system reacts to data records having the following errors. You can do this in the Scheduler, on the tab page Update, via Error Handling.

Errors in transfer rules:

A record has fields that contain characters that are not allowed in updates

A user-defined routine in the transfer rules does not consider the record to be plausible

Technically not plausible: A postal code does not correspond to the five-place format.

Implausible in a business context: An amount is clearly too high.

A record contains (quantity) conversion errors.
