Validating Your Data

After you run updates, validate TireMaster. The data validation checks to see that all required settings in System Controls have been completed and that other necessary configuration has been performed. Until you validate your database, you cannot create invoices or purchase orders, make payments, or access the general ledger.

To validate TireMaster

1. From the Help menu, select Validate. The Data Validation screen appears.

2. Click Validate. The validation utility displays the status of various TireMaster settings.

Note: Validation warnings are displayed in green text and errors are displayed in red text. If the validation utility reports any errors, you cannot create invoices, purchase orders, or perform various transactions until you eliminate the errors. For more information, see Validation Messages.

3. For a copy of the validation log, click Print.

4. To close the validation program, click Exit.
