Use the Validation Type drop down list to select the type of validation errors to view.

Validation Type	Description
All Errors	List all the validation error that has been identified.
Location Configuration	The source location configuration is invalid.
Location Primary	The destination of a movement is a primary location. Usually, primary locations have no input. If, for example, the primary location was fully mined it can be changed to a backfill location. Thus, movements to a primary location would be valid.
Location Sublocation	The sublocation source or destination is invalid. A location may have one or more sublocations. When working in an underground mine, for example, development is usually advanced sublocation by sublocation, or face by face.
Location the Same	The source and destination of the movement are the same.
Material Mismatch	The source and destination material type are not the same.
Movement Quantity	The movement quantity value is invalid.
Quantity Negative	An intermediate location has a negative inventory.
Quantity Threshold Max	The maximum quantity threshold for the destination location has been exceeded.
Quantity Threshold Min	The minimum quantity threshold for the destination location has not been met.
Quantity Zero	There is no inventory for the location.
