Validating line items in an invoice solution

Note that this information applies to the fields used with invoice profiles (more information). Fields are also used when preparing document specifications (more information).

Line items are automatically validated according to the values specified in Eiglobalextra.ini.

Each line item field has an icon that represents its status. Each line item table also has a status displayed on its tab, so you can quickly see if a table needs attention without looking at all of the fields in the table.

If you correct a value, the line item is validated again, and the status icon is updated accordingly. You can turn off line item validation for invoices that often fail validation due to their complexity or any other reason.

To enable line item validation

Line item validation is used automatically for all new PO invoice profiles whose country profile includes line item tables by default (for example Great Britain, Germany, and the United States). If the invoice profile does not contain a line item table by default, and you add one, you must manually enable line item validation:

1. Set DoLineItemRowTotalValidation and DoLineItemTableTotalTaxableAmountValidation to 1 in Eiglobalextra.ini.

2. Add the LIT_VatExcludedAmount field to the line item table (if you have not already done so).
