The following table describes the automatic validation process for final actions on records processed interactively or via batch:

Final action Validation performed
Update Holdings For existing records: No automatic validation by default.

Select validation level for these actions in Tools > Options > General / Validation Level Options.

 Note: When you update holdings, even with validation level set to Structure (the minimum), the system verifies that:
  • Indicators
  • The following fields are present and, for some, checks for valid data: Leader, 001, 005, 008, 040 $c, 049 and 245 $a or 245 $k.

    If these structure checks fail, you receive an error message with a list of validation errors.
