If the product has a document attached. The second is to make sure the product has a unit price. :

  • Document attached.

  • Unit price

Since we are working with an occurrence, we know that a room and an item have been defined. This example is checking across several modules at once. Two fields were added: Has document (yes/no) and Unit price.

...

The first part is an if/then format that checks if the product has a document AND has a unit price greater than zero. If both are true, we return TRUE. If either is not valid, we return FALSE. The Data type is a Yes/No, so in the occurrence properties panel, we will see a check box under Product Documents Status within a new group called Validation Check. This could also be a column added to an occurrence list to quickly see which occurrences are ready for procurement or used in a report filter.
