Validate Worksheet

Access this feature using Activities>Budget Worksheet> Validate Worksheet.

Use this button to automatically validate every budget item in the worksheet before transferring the worksheet. A worksheet, or a portion of a worksheet, can be validated at any time.

  • To validate a row or set of rows, select the rows (or cells in the rows), right-click on the worksheet, and select Validate Rows.
  • To validate the entire worksheet, click the Validate button.

 

New Worksheets: Only the G/L Code, Segment Code, Effective Date, and budget entry columns are subject to validation.

All Worksheets Types: Each budget item receives Pass, Warning, or Error in the Status column of validated rows, followed by an explanation of why the system returned that value.
