Use the Assign Process Rules window to assign data validation rules and the action(s) to follow if the rule is violated for any transaction. You may set the action to Disabled so that a particular rule is not enforced.

The Assign Process Rules window shows the current transaction and all associated process rules. These fields are read-only. For each of the process rules (Invalid Document Address, Invalid Trading Partner, and Test Production Discrepancy), select the appropriate action. The process rules are:

• Invalid Document Address

  Any address referenced in an inbound interface data file (ship-to, bill-to, remit-to) must correspond to an address or location record in Oracle Applications. A common address derivation function uses location codes, location IDs, and physical address data to establish this link between address data on the interface data file and an address in Oracle Applications. If an address or location record cannot be derived by this function, a process rule violation occurs for the specified transaction.

• Invalid Trading Partner

  Checks if the incoming translator code and location code (on control record 0010) match those in the trading partner setup. If there is not a match, the customer or supplier for this transaction could not be derived based on the data in the control record. The rule is also violated if the transaction is not enabled.

• Test/Production Discrepancy

  Checks if the incoming flag is the same as in the trading partner setup.

To assign process rules:

1. Navigate to the Assign Process Rules window. Do this by choosing Process Rules from the Interface File Definition window.

2. For each predefined column rule, select an action:

   Abort Run: stops the processing of the document and sets status to Error.

   Disabled: Prevents the rule from being enforced.

   Log Only: Places a message in the log file and continues processing.

   Skip Document: Skip current document and processes the next.

3. Save your work.
