This section allows you to define the information that the segments or combinations of segments will be validated against.

;[FieldName]:Definition
These units must be numbered 11 and greater in order to be separate from the original GL segments.
!Validate Segments
You may set up validation for different combinations within the predefined segments. For example: You have defined your distribution mask as ????-??-??? (Division - Cost Centre- Account). You would like to indicate that there are only certain accounts that work with certain cost centres.
Those cost centres are defined by the last three numbers in the cost centre segment. Once those three numbers are defined, you will have a selection of accounts defined by the entire account segment.
Validation will be made for the digits in the 7th through 9th position in this code ????-??-???
If validation is required, you must FIRST turn the ‘Must Validate’ toggle ON in the ‘Input’ tab and then list all valid segments in the ‘G/L Valid Value’ field. The ‘Validate’ tab allows you to define the length of the portion to be validated. This could be either entire segments or other portions of segments.
The combinations of segments, or segment portions must be contiguous. That is, you cannot validate the combination of segment 3 and segment 7 together Even if no validation is needed, it is necessary that the Segment form be completed with the segment description. This allows users to have a more descriptive screen of information when using the distribution editor button in the Department, Job, Position, and Assignment forms, etc.
;[Validate Unit | GL_SEGMENT_NUMBER]:This is the sequential order of the validation units. These units must be numbered 11 and greater in order to be separate from the original GL segments. For example, if the original G/L segment is 1234-56-789, then possible units are:
Unit 11 is digits 123456
Unit 12 is digits 56789
Unit 13 is digits 345678
;[From | FIELD_START_BYTE]:This is the starting position of the unit. Characters such as ‘-’ or ‘.’ are NOT considered positions.
For example, if the original G/L segment is 1234-56-789, then:
Unit 11 starts at position 1
Unit 12 starts at position 5
Unit 13 starts at position 3
;[Length | VALUE_LENGTH]:This is the number of characters in the unit. For example, if the original G/L segment is 1234-56-789, then:
Unit 11 starting at position 1 has a length of 6 (1234-56)
Unit 12 starting at position 5 has a length of 5 (56-789)
Unit 13 starting at position 3 has a length of 6 (34-56-78)
;[Validation Name | DESCRIPTION]:This field provides the name of the unit.
;[G/L Valid Value | GL_VALID_VALUE]:The actual valid unit value to be compared to what the user may be entering as a distribution code.
For example, if the only valid value for a specific unit is 1235-6?-???, input 12356 in this field.
;[Description | DESCRIPTION]:If desired, a description of the unit may be entered. This may aid users in determining the values they require.
