Online Validation Against Project Transaction Controls
When you enter project information and either leave or save the record, the information is validated against the project transaction control information in Oracle Projects. This validation ensures that you can charge the type of expenditure to the project and task on the expenditure item date that you specified. If the information that you entered does not pass the project transaction control validation, you will see an error message displayed on the bottom line of the screen. You must enter valid chargeable project information based on the transaction controls in Oracle Projects before you can continue.
If you cannot determine valid project information that is chargeable, you can delete the project-related fields and close the window. You should then determine valid project information and return to the document to enter the project information.
Validation of Distribution Set Project Information
When you create a distribution set in Oracle Payables, the project information for a distribution set line is not validated against the project transaction controls information in Oracle Projects, because you do not enter an expenditure item date which is required for transaction control validation.
Usually, distribution sets are used on recurring transactions, and the associated project does not have transaction controls. The only validation Oracle Projects performs on a distribution set is at the time you create the distribution set lines. Oracle Projects validate the project and task number.
