Rules that define valid combinations of segment values a user can enter in an account is called ____________
-
Cross Validation Rule
-
Account Validation Rule
-
Segment Validation Rule
-
All the above
Cross-validation rules in Oracle Applications define which combinations of segment values are valid when entering an account. They prevent invalid combinations (like balancing segment mismatch) and ensure data integrity across the flexfield structure.
In Oracle General Ledger's flexfield setup, a Cross Validation Rule defines which combinations of segment values (e.g., company, cost center, account) are permitted when a user builds an account code combination — preventing invalid or nonsensical combinations from being entered. There's no separate 'Account Validation Rule' or 'Segment Validation Rule' concept in this context (each segment's individual values are validated by value sets, but the cross-segment combination logic specifically is the Cross Validation Rule), so those distractors don't match the definition given.
