4.1.6 Cost Center Validation Tables

Cost Center Validation Tables provide a method for ensuring
that erroneous data is not entered into the Budgets, Debits
and Credits, or Cost Center Attributes tables.  This may be
significant for installations in which online data entry is
not performed by individuals who are intimately familiar with
the cost center codes.  In addition, initialization of a
Validation Table for a given cost center level automatically
provides selection list entry support for that level.  That
is, if you are unsure of the proper code to enter, you can
enter a question mark and the contents of the validation
table is displayed as a selection list.  An entry selected
from this list will replace the question mark in the original
field.

The validation tables are also used if the online Cost Center
Attributes ISPF table is loaded from the SAS file (ACTCCA01)
by the ACTCCALD job.

Descriptions entered on a cost center validation table can
optionally be used on invoices instead of the actual cost
center values.
