About the Validation of Multi-Site Quotes

To validate a multi-site quote, the ValidateMSQ method in the MSQ Service business service compares different dates in the multi-site quote to the requested date of the multi-site quote. If the validation process finds an error in the information for the multi-site quote, then you see an error message. The validation of a multi-site quote includes the following validations:

• The product groups are validated as follows:
  • If the ProductSiteTypeMatch user property is TRUE, then all of the sites and products in a product group must have the same service type. If all of the sites and products do not have the same service type, then the validation process shows an error message, and no order line items are created.

    If the ProductSiteTypeMatch user property is FALSE, then all of the sites and products in the product group do not have to have the same service type. If all of the sites and products do not have the same service type, then the validation process does not show an error message, and order line items are created only for the sites and products with the same service type.

  • The Billing Account field for the sites in a product group must not be blank.
  • If the Action field for a site in a product group is a value of New, then the Entry Date field for that site must be the same as or later than the requested date for the multi-site quote.
  • If the Action field for a site in a product group is a value of New or Update, then the Exit Date field for that site must be the same as or later than the requested date for the multi-site quote.
• The Effective Date fields for products are validated as follows
  • The value in the Effective Date field must be the same as or later than the requested date for the multi-site quote.
  • When you change the configuration of existing products in multi-site quote revisions, the value in the Effective Date field must not be blank.
  • When you do not change the configuration of existing products in multi-site quote revisions, the value in the Effective Date field must be blank.
• The Billing Transfer Date fields are validated as follows:
  • The value in the Billing Transfer Date field must be the same as or later than the requested date for the multi-site revision.
