Active (field ENAFLG)

Select this check box so that the data can be used in other records (documents, parameters, etc.) or during a mass processing. If not selected, the data is considered to be inactive and it cannot be used in other records.

 Special case when the data is rejected by the legislation:

If a data (same code) exists both with a legislation (e.g. FRA) and with no notion of legislation, and is used in record, several cases are possible:

Case 1: the data is active (with the FRA legislation but without a notion of legislation)

  • If the legislation of the record is identical (FRA in this example), only the data defined with the FRA legislation may be used. It will not be possible to use the data defined without legislation even if it is active.

Case 2: the data is not active with the FRA legislation but it is active with no notion of legislation.

  • If the legislation of the record is identical (FRA in this example), it will not be possible to use the data defined with the FRA legislation since it is inactive. It will not be possible either to use the data defined without legislation even if it is active.
