PostAssignmentValidateExpressions

Description

The PostAssignmentValidateExpressions business rule is optionally associated with a transaction as a transaction override. It does not exist in the TransactionBusinessRulePacket. This allows the rule to process each time the activity processes while in an NUV pending state. The rule contains a math section that allows for standard math calculations, and a validation section that supports standard validation expressions.

Note: Named MathVariables in this rule must be unique and not replace any MathVariables in the transaction math section. However, MathVariables from the transaction are available to the math section of this rule. Valuation values modified by Assignment processing are also available.

PostAssignmentValidateExpressions Element/Attribute Table
Element/Tag	Definition	Attribute	Element/Attribute Value and Description
<PostAssignmentValidateExpressions>	The opening and closing tag		Overridden at the transaction level.

<MathVariable>	Standard math syntax
<ValidateExpressions>	Standard validation section
<Expression>	Required and Repeatable Element: This tag specifies a condition to be evaluated True/ False, and the error message to be displayed on the screen if the condition is met.		Required Element value: Expression Specifies the condition that needs to be evaluated upon trying to process the transaction.
