ERROR CORRECTION
The data elements contained in accounting transactions will be subject to a variety of edit checks. Some data elements are required on all transactions, while others are required only if flagged in the Transaction Code Decision Table.
Some data elements can be defined only to the extent that they must be all numeric or all alphabetic. These elements are checked by "field" edits. Other data elements are compared to various system tables and can be established as valid or invalid. These elements are checked by "Table Look-Up" edits.
In most cases, transactions failing one field or table look-up edit will be further edited. However, if the transaction code is invalid, no further editing will be performed.
