Manage Price Error Codes

Error codes can have a severity level of either Critical or Warning. The designation of a severity level controls whether the error is considered during the release process in RDC Prices. Critical errors prevent data from being released to the Production security tables, while warning errors are simply informational. You can use the Setup workspace in Reference Data Center to add, view, and edit the error codes used by RDC Prices.

There are predefined error codes within RDC under the center RDC and RDC Prices. RDC Prices Error Codes all start with the Error prefix of PR, have a severity of Critical and are defined with an Origin of Eagle. You may not purge these, as they are core error codes.
