Intro

You can use the rule editor to create a rule with corresponding messages for each master data field in the UI. You need admin rights to call up the rule editor.  

You can access the rule editor by entering "Rules Editor" in the menu bar.

The rules should serve two main purposes: Validation and automatic filtering/setting. This means that when saving master data, a validation of all relevant rules should reflect the implied fields and when updating master data on the user interface, the changes implied by the rules should reflect the processed master data. In the first step, however, only the validation is implemented. This means that when master data is saved, a check of all relevant rules is processed and warning or error messages for triggered rules are displayed in the front-end of the master data user interface.

The rule editor includes two main areas:

  • The rule engine editor deals with the creation and management of rules and the validation of the module that invokes them.
  • The rules defined in the rule engine are processed when the user saves a master data object and when the user opens existing master data..
