Solve EDI sales order validation errors
Business Integration Solutions task

If you use staging in your EDI process for sales orders, the sales orders that you receive with the 'Sales - XML to EDI order' message are stored in the EDI sales order journal.
These EDI sales orders are validated according to the applicable journal validation setup. If the applicable validation rules are not met, an error or warning is given. Before the EDI sales order can be processed further, review the errors and warnings, and take appropriate actions.
If journal validation errors are given, you have these options:
  • Solve the errors. You can solve validation errors in:
    • The EDI sales order, where you can make the appropriate changes.
    • Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. For example, if the setup must be changed to solve the error.
  • Cancel the EDI sales order, line, or address with errors.
You cannot accept headers, lines, or addresses with errors. If you do so, and approve the EDI sales order, the header, line, or address with errors is again set to Rejected.
If the errors are solved or lines or addresses with errors are canceled, approve the EDI sales order.
