Error message in GRDC forms when journal entry balance is not 0

[Elizabeth_Girar]

Hello

We are using forms in GRDC. It's possible to adjust some amounts in form (and create journal entries with those adjustments).

However, if the balance is not 0, it will still post the journal entry. In SAP we have the error message when the balance is not 0 (GK869). Is it possible to do the same when it's coming from GRDC? Or an error message directly in GRDC?

Right now we only have 'Visual valdiation' so it's red, but it's no enough.

Thank you

Hello Elizabeth,

Currently, the option to perform a balancing check is not available in the GRDC forms; it is only available for Group Journals. Validations & Substitutions specific to GRDC are planned for future development.

I recommend using the Group Journal Import app instead of the GRDC forms until this functionality becomes available.

Best regards,

AJ

Here is the alternative solution: Group Reporting Data Collection – Add reference link to Forms in the validation rules -- With release 2308, you can copy dynamic links for a form in GRDC Enter Package Data app and add these links as reference links in the Define Validation Rules app (see the screenshots below). You can now amend the generated links to include certain dimensions, for example, the consolidation unit, as variables. When you run your validations, you directly access the GRDC form by clicking on the reference link. This new GRDC feature, called is designed to ease the package validation for business end-users. If an error is detected at data collection level, you can directly correct it in the GRDC form, re-run your validations and check that the result is fine. For more information, see Copy a dynamic link for a form.
