Document types - Validation profiles

Users can access the form by navigating to EDI > Setup > Document types.

Validation profiles are groups of business validation rules that can be applied to a trading partner. They provide the ability to set variable tolerances on various different aspects of the documents business process. Once a validation profile is created it can be configured by adding validation rules to it and defining the error tolerance of the rule.
Once setup for each document type, the validation profile can be assigned to each incoming document on the Trading partner setup in EDI > Setup > Trading partners.
