Add a validation rule segment
Validation rule segments allow you to define how the cost centre code must be entered for each customer code. Valid customer codes may differ from customer to customer and may be segmented. For example, a code like 'AB12345' has one segment and 'AB-345-67' has three segments. A code with multiple segments is separated by a dash and can be defined in terms of the number of characters, value type and entry type. NOTE - So that the code can be correctly validated, only the last segment can have different values for the minimum and maximum number of characters.
To add a segment:
- While in the validation rule, click the Add Segment button.
- In the Add Segment window, enter values for the segment.
- Description: enter a suitable description for this segment.
- Minimum number of characters: enter the minimum number of characters for this segment.
- Maximum number of characters: enter the maximum number of characters for this segment.
- Default Value Type: select default, fixed value or list.
- Type: Select the value entry type. CHECK OUT User Entry, fixed value or list.
- Numeric Only: toggle ON if only numerical values are allowed to be entered in this segment.
- To save this segment, click Apply.
- Define more segments for this code if required.
