) is added to each ROP rule that needs to be corrected. (Click Validation Error(s) pop-up window to see a sample.)
Once you have finished modifying or setting up an ROP model or an ROP calculation, you click the Accept button on the ROP Model screen of the Purchasing tab to save your changes. At that point, the system validates, or checks, the calculations. This validation occurs before any of your updates are saved to your system's database.
If the system finds any validation errors, a warning message is displayed in a Validation Error(s) pop-up window to let you know that errors exist. In addition, a circle with a red exclamation point () is added to each ROP rule that needs to be corrected. (Click Validation Error(s) pop-up window to see a sample.)
Such validation errors do not occur often. However, if an error does occur, you can easily correct it.
Note: To access the ROP Model screen, you must have the proper security privileges. The ROP Maintenance job function needs to be assigned to one of your roles.
