Order
Management provides you the ability to define your own validation conditions by
the use of validation templates. A validation template names a condition and
defines the semantics of how to validate that condition. Validation templates
can be used in the processing constraints framework to specify the constraining
conditions for a given constraint.
These
conditions are based on:
•
Where the entity is in its workflow
•
The state of attributes on an entity
•
Any other validation condition that cannot be modeled using the above methods
API
based validation templates are not available if constrained entity is different
from the entity for which the validation template has been defined (or the
Validation templates are not available even if the record set being used is
anything other than the primary key record set).
For
example, API based Validation template Pick Released has been set up for entity
Order Line. If you set up a constraint for attribute Ship To on Order Line, the
validation template Pick Released is available but for a constraint on
attribute Ship To on Order Header, Pick Released will not be available.
For
attribute Ship To on Order Line, if the constraint condition uses any record
set (ATO Configuration, for example) other than the primary key record set
Order Line, the validation template Pick Released will not be available.
Define a validation template:
Validation
Types
Select
the Validation Type to be performed by the condition. Select from:
WF: (validation is based on the workflow status of
this entity):
•
Select the Activity for the condition
•
Select the Activity Status for the
condition. Select from: Active, Complete, Error, Notified, and suspended
•
Select the activity Result for the
condition
•
Save your work
API (validation is completed through an Application
Program Interface):
•
Select the PL/SQL Package you wish to
interface with the constraint condition
•
Enter the Procedure name of the API
•
Save your work
TBL (validation is based on the values of database
columns on this entity):
•
Select the Attribute Column name on
the entity for the constraint condition
•
Select the Validation Operation for
the constraint condition. Select from: = (Equal To), <> (Not Equal To),
Is NULL, Is Not NULL
•
Select the Value String you want to
validate against the value of the column
