Combination Edit in BIPRELD
A customer in release 9 recently reported an issue in Billing Preload where COMBO Edit validation is not being done. It is triggering the Combination Edit program but it is not able to identify the invalid accounting row for the revenue. However the online combo edit validation does throw the error during bill entry.
ANSWER
BIPRELD calls combo edit but there is an exception. The combo edit functionality in Preload process was designed to call the Combo Edit process ONLY to edit accounting entries that are updated by ChartField inheritance logic (when the CF_ACTION_FLG option is defined as Y (yes). Once it triggers the Combo Edit it would only check generated accounting entries (example the generated AR row).
