As a user of SAP, in addition to the standard SAP data validation, you can set up Sana specific validation rules.

You can access data validation rules either from the main window of the Sana Commerce solution (/n/sanaecom/webstore) or by calling the transaction /n/sanaecom/validate.

Set Up Data Validation Rules

Data validation rules affect data retrieving. For example, you can configure validation rules which define if a product is orderable or a customer is allowed to order. Only data which satisfies the selected criteria can be processed by Sana.

Step 1: In the Webstore Id field, select a webstore. If you have multiple webstores, you can set up data validation rules for each webstore.

Step 2: Select Customer or Product. You can set up validation rules to validate customer data and product data.

Step 3: Click Continue.

Step 4: To add data validation rule, click Insert.

The table below provides the description of the data validation rule fields.
