The Column Violations windows displays all column rule violations. You then use this data to correct the problems, or you can choose to ignore the violations. Most corrections require entries in the code conversion values table, correct positioning of internal and external codes in the interface data file, or data set up in the base application.

When a column rule is violated, the transaction is marked with a violation. All violations appear in the Column Violations window. You can choose to override the violation in that particular transaction by selecting Ignore. Doing so means the column rule is ignored when you resubmit the transaction.

To view column violations:

1. Navigate to the Column Violations window. Do this by clicking the Columns... button on the View Staged Documents window.

   All fields in the Column Violations window are read-only, except for Display: All Columns, Display: Errors Only, and Ignore.

2. Select what to display, all columns or only those with errors.

   Note: If the record layouts defined in the e-Commerce Gateway do not match those in the EDI translator, data elements will not fall into the correct position. Data elements may be truncated, merged with another data element, and so on. Verify that record layouts are identical.

3. If you want to ignore the violated rule when you resubmit this document for processing, select Ignore.

4. When finished, choose Done. The window closes.
