# Set up validation rule conditions

For each validation rule, you can set up conditions. The validation rule is only applied if the conditions are met.

To define a validation rule condition, you use a query. The validation rule is applied only to the records that are found by the query.

You can use these types of queries:

- **Inquiry**: Use the standard D365 F&SCM **Inquiry (SysQueryForm)** page to define the records to which the validation rule applies. The inquiry only queries the table as defined for the validation rule.
- **Dynamic query**: Use a dynamic query to define the records to which the validation rule applies. Before you can set up a condition with a dynamic query, set up the dynamic query to be applied. You can use a dynamic query, for example, to query other tables than the validation rule table, to define table relations, and to have only one record returned.
