Cross-Validation Rules

Cross-Validation Rules

                Cross validation rules are used to restrict the combinations between the segments of a chart of accounts. For one chart of accounts we can define one or more cross validation rules.

Steps required defining cross validation rules:

Step1:

·         Enable cross validate segments option at our chart of accounts

Navigation:

                                Setup => financials  => flex field => key => segments

o   Select structure

o   Disable freeze flexfield definition

o   Enable cross validate segments

o   Enable freeze flex field definition

o   Compile structure

Step2:

·         Define cross validation rules

Navigation:

                                Setup => financials =>flexfields => key => rules

o   Select structure

o   Enter cross validation rule name and description

o   Enter error message and error segment

o   Select exclude and include rules

Include and exclude rules:

1.       For each cross validation rule we have a include rule

2.       Include rule is to determine to include all the combinations between the segments

3.       One include rule can have one or more exclude rules

4.       An exclude rule is to determined to exclude the combinations from an include rule.
