# Set up staging validations

For each document record, you can define data validations to be done when a data record is inserted in the staging journal.

Found validation errors, warnings, or dependencies are stored as validation errors for the relevant staging journal. For a **Staging** document, these standard validation classes are available:

| Validation class | Description |
| --- | --- |
| BisValidationFieldisMantadory | This class checks if the field is filled. The arguments are: **FieldValue** and **Type**. The validation is met if the field has a valid value. For example, for date fields, the value 0 is not valid. |
| BisValidationReferenceExists | This class checks if a record exists in the defined table. The validation is met if at least one record exists in the table. The arguments are **KeyFieldName** or **KeyFieldValue** (only define one of these arguments), and **TableName**. For example, you can check if a customer exists in the CustTable. If the customer does not exist, a validation error is reported. |
| BisValidationMdmDifference | This class if differences exist between the data that is send from the source to the **MDM staging journal** and the current data in the target. This validation defines what happens with **MDM staging journal lines** with data differences. You can only use this class if you use: - The **Master data management staging journal**. - **Data comparison** on the **MDM staging journal**. For more information, refer to [Monitor MDM staging journal](/data-management/docs/monitor-mdm-staging-journal). |

### Steps

1. Click **Connectivity** **studio - Integration Design**.
2. Click the **Documents** tab.
3. In the list, find and select the desired document of type **Staging** with **Journal table** '**BisStagingBufferOrderJournal**'.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. On the **Action Pane**, on the **Design** tab, click **Staging display options**.
6. Click the **Validation** tab.
7. Sub-task: Set up validation.
  1. Click **New**.
  2. You can set up a staging validation that applies to:

In the **Company accounts ID** field, enter or select a value, or clear the value.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> The **Company accounts ID** field is available only if the '**Shared staging validation**' feature is activated in the **Connectivity studio parameters**. In this case, the **Validation** tab only shows the shared validation setup (no company defined) and the validation setup for the current company.
> 
> If the '**Shared staging validation**' feature is inactive, the staging validation setup applies only to the company in which it is set up.
    - All companies in your D365 F&SCM environment. To do so, do not define a company.
    - A specific company. To do so, define the desired company.
  3. For a **Staging** document, these standard validation classes are available:

For a more detailed explanation, refer to the topic introduction. You can use a customized validation class. To do so, extend the standard validation class. If you do so, make sure to properly set the arguments.

In the **Validation class** field, enter or select a value.
    - **BisValidationFieldisMantadory**
    - **BisValidationReferenceExists**
    - **BisValidationMdmDifference**
  4. Choose to stop or continue the data processing if a validation is not met.

In the **Exception behavior** field, select an option.
  5. Select the type of the validation error if the validation is not met.

In the **Type** field, select an option.
  6. You can assign a unique number to the validation error message. So, you can recognize the validation error by the number.

In the **Number** field, enter a number.
  7. Define the message text for the validation error. By default, a text is given as defined in the validation class. You can change this text.

In the **Text** field, type a value.
  8. Click **Save**.
8. Sub-task: Set up validation arguments.
  1. Each validation class has several arguments to be set. For each argument, you must set either the **Record** **field** or the **Constant**.

In the **Record** **field** field, enter or select a value.
  2. In the **Constant** field, type a value.
9. Activate the validation if you finished its setup and want to apply it.

Select the **Active** check box.
