Validation and Error Handling
When a contract is created or modified, validation is performed to verify that the attributes provided for the contract and its performance obligations are correct. If any errors occur during this process, the system provides several functions for error handling.
Error worklist
The error worklist allows you to identify errors and make corrections.
Suspending revenue posting
This feature prevents transactions for certain performance obligations from being posted to the general ledger.
Customizable messages and severity levels
Some of the messages reported by Revenue Accounting can be customized. Each message indicates an exception scenario, not necessarily an error, that occurs during revenue accounting transactions. You can configure whether this message is ignored, handled as a warning, or handled as an error.
Reprocessing contracts
Errors may occur because of incorrect configurations on the back-end operational system. After you have corrected the configurations and made sure that the operational document contains correct attributes, you can trigger reprocessing so that the contract can be updated with the latest values on the operational document.
