If there are validation errors with the new Product, Style or Options

• If validation errors are found during processing, these will be called out on the review screen with a red triangle to the left of the line(s) with errors
• Expanding the line(s) will show you the error messages
  
  
  
  

• You can still continue with the replacement when errors are present 
• The quote or sale will flag the line item(s) with validation errors in the Line Items section on the Quote Review page
• Until the errors are corrected, a user cannot product any customer output.  The only selection in Generate Reports will be the Internal Order
• Until the errors are corrected, the quote cannot be converted to a sale.  A sale cannot be ordered while errors are present.
