Overriding Validation Errors

If the return value for a specification does not fall into the range that is defined by the target value, the validation results produce an error. The error can be hard or soft, depending on how you set up the specification. If you set up the specification to perform only a soft validation, you can save or close an operation despite the error. If you set up the validation with a hard error, you must intervene by providing a reason code for accepting the error before you can close the operation. As an alternative, you can also make a correction to the operation so that the value of the lot attribute falls within the specification. For example, if a pH value is out of spec, you might need to change the amount of additive.
