Customer Interface Validation Rules

•Validates the data you load in the Customer Interface tables by
ensuring that the columns in the interface tables reference the
appropriate values and columns in the rest of the system.

•Considers a customer’s address to be foreign if the country

segment is not the same as the Default Country you defined in the
System Options window. It will not create location combinations
for foreign locations.

•If you are trying to perform updates, it ensures that the record to
be updated already exists within the system.

•It also ensures that records marked for insertion are unique.
