If there are validation errors with the new Product, Style or Options

  • If validation errors are found during processing, these will be called out on the review screen with a red triangle to the left of the line(s) with errors
  • Expanding the line(s) will show you the error messages




  • You can still continue with the replacement when errors are present 
  • The quote or sale will flag the line item(s) with validation errors in the Line Items section on the Quote Review page
  • Until the errors are corrected, a user cannot product any customer output.  The only selection in Generate Reports will be the Internal Order
  • Until the errors are corrected, the quote cannot be converted to a sale.  A sale cannot be ordered while errors are present.
