In the PDC Errors workspace, you can create, view, and edit the error codes used for field validation. It also allows you to define error codes and messages in other languages.

The Errors workspace allows you to create customized text for error codes to make it easier for business users to understand the problem, instead of having to interpret an error code. An error is a simple collection of 3 strings, which is eventually attached to a validation rule. When a validation is triggered, the text in the error message is displayed.

For example, you can define the Inception date missing error as, Inception date cannot be NULL and attached to the Inception date validation, which in-turn is attached to the Inception date field. So if you create an entity/fund and the Inception date field is left as blank, then the inception date validation is triggered and you will see the Inception date error message in the user interface.

An error can be defined as either critical or warning.

Critical: It triggers an exception and does not pass the field's release level status until it is resolved.
Warning: It triggers a soft exception but does NOT affect the field's release level status and moves on to the next authorization level.
