Definition

A validation category defines the category of a validation

Use

The business object processing framework distinguishes between action validations and consistency validations.

Action validations can be used to check if an action can be carried out.

Consistency validations can be used to check the consistency of a business object. They can be assigned to the framework actions check of each node. Consistency validations are carried out when this action is called or automatically after a change is made if they are triggered via trigger nodes based on the changes.

Dependencies

Action validations can be assigned to object-specific actions and to the framework actions create, update, delete and save.
