In this table you define the validation table types that are valid for the Business partner attribute search functionality. In addition, you define the values (for validation types of Short alphanumeric and Long alphanumeric table types) that will be valid for entry/selection for the fields that are defined in Business partner attribute templates. This controls the entry of values in those types of fields defined in Business partner attribute templates. Per Template field of those types (in Work with BP attribute templates), you assign the code from this table that is to be valid. When you connect a Business partner attribute template to a business partner in the Business partner file, (and the end-user ultimately uses Attribute search mode to look up business partners), only the values held in this table for the connected Validation table code will be valid for entry/selection.
For Numeric and Date related validation types, you control the data entry of values via the Value range fields in the Business partner attribute template.
For File related validation types, you are able to connect a phyiscal file and the field for which you want to perform an attribute search, thereby being able to search for the values connected to that file/field. An example of this is the Signature file for the Signature field. The signature entered as a search attribute in Attribute search must exist in the file/field. Per Template field (in Work with BP attribute templates), you assign the code from this table that is to be valid.
For Program related validation types, there may be data that you want to be able to perform a search on that does not exist in one specific file. Instead, you need to validate the data from several files. For this type of validation, you need to write a program that selects business partners holding a specific attribute.
