How Cross-Validation Rule Violations Are Managed
Cross-validation rules determine whether a selected value for a particular segment of an account combination can be combined with specific values in other segments to form a new account combination.
The Manage Cross-Validation Rule Violations process lists and optionally disables account combinations that violate cross-validation rules for a given chart of accounts. The process also lets you preserve attributes of account combinations to prevent the Inherit Segment Value process from reenabling them.
After you define a cross-validation rule, you can run the Manage Cross-Validation Rule Violations process to:
-
Test that the rule is set up correctly.
-
Identify existing account combinations that violate the rule and optionally disable them.
How Cross-Validation Rule Violations Are Processed
The Manage Cross-Validation Rules process evaluates all account combinations that are enabled and not end-dated when the process is submitted. The Enabled setting on the Manage Cross-Validation Rules page also affects the process.
You can submit the process from the Scheduled Processes work area and from the Manage Cross-Validations page. Here's how you submit it from the page:
- In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Cross-Validation Rules
task:
- Offering: Financials
- Functional Area: Financial Reporting Structures
- Task: Manage Cross-Validation Rules
- On the Rules tab, select Manage Rules from the Actions menu. The Manage Account Combination Validation Rules process dialog box opens.
- In the Validation Type field, select Cross-validation rules.
- In the Action field, select Review violations.
- Select values for the rest of the parameters, which are the same as the Manage Cross-Validation Rule Violations process when submitted from the Scheduled Processes work area.
