Documentation

Definition

A validation is an element of a business object node that describes some internal checking business logic on the business object.

Use

Action Validation: a validation can be used to check if an action is allowed.

Consistency Validation: a validation can be used to check the consistency of a business object.

Dependencies

An action validation is carried out when an action is called before it is performed. If some validations fail, the action is not performed for the instances where the validation failed. Depending on the action settings, the action is not performed.

A consistency validation is only triggered if some of the trigger nodes are assigned and instances of these trigger nodes are changed.

Example

• Check if an order can be released depending on a defined time interval for release.
• Check if the master data exists and is valid.
