Validating MassAllocation and MassBudget Batches
After you define a new allocation batch, or change an allocation formula, you must validate the batch by running the MassAllocation/ MassBudgeting Validation program. The program verifies that your allocation formulas conform to the allocation formula definition rules.
You can run the program to validate all previously unvalidated batches, or you can validate all unvalidated batches when you close the window.
To validate all unvalidated MassAllocation and MassBudget batches:
1. Navigate to the Define MassAllocation or Define MassBudgets window.
2. Choose Validate All. General Ledger automatically starts a concurrent request to run the MassAllocation/MassBudgeting Validation program.
3. Check the validation status after the concurrent request completes.
To review the batch validation status:
1. Navigate to the Define MassAllocation or Define MassBudgets window.
2. Query the name of the allocation batch you want to check.
3. Review the batch Status. Your batch will have one of the following statuses:
Valid: General Ledger has validated your batch. You can use your formula to generate journals.
Not Validated: General Ledger has not yet run the MassAllocation/MassBudgeting Validation program to check your batch. This program must validate this batch before you can generate it.
In Process: General Ledger has started the MassAllocation/MassBudgeting Validation program to check your batch. If you want to make changes to this batch, you must wait until the program completes.
Error: General Ledger found definition errors in your batch.
4. If your batch fails validation, use the Request ID to locate the problems on the MassAllocations/MassBudgeting Validation Report. Correct your errors in the Define MassAllocations or Define MassBudgets window. When you save your changes and close the window, you can validate all unvalidated batches.
