+ | __**Field Editing Restrictions and System Validation**__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Data Protection Mechanisms** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Edit Restriction Warnings** | ||
+ | * System Response: Attempting to modify protected fields triggers Excel validation warnings | ||
+ | * Example Scenario: Item price fields may display restriction notifications when modification is attempted | ||
+ | * Purpose: Prevents unauthorized changes to system-controlled data elements | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Consistency Protocol** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **UI-Excel Parity Rule** | ||
+ | * Fundamental Principle: Field editing permissions maintain complete consistency between contract user interface and Excel document | ||
+ | * Access Control: Fields that are non-editable within the contract management system remain protected in the Excel environment | ||
+ | * Business Logic: Editing restrictions reflect underlying business rules and data integrity requirements | ||
+ | |||
+ | **User Guidance** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Error Prevention: | ||
+ | * Proactive Notification: | ||
+ | * Workflow Efficiency: Clear restriction indicators prevent wasted effort on non-modifiable fields | ||
+ | * System Integrity: Protection mechanisms ensure data consistency across all editing platforms | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Best Practice:** Before attempting modifications, | ||

+ | **__Data Import Process and System Integration__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **File Preparation and Save Protocol** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Document Completion** | ||
+ | * Action: Save updated Excel document upon completion of all modifications | ||
+ | * Critical Requirement: | ||
+ | * File Integrity: Preserving filename ensures proper system recognition and processing | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Import Procedure** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Step 1: Import Function Access** | ||
+ | * Navigation: Access " | ||
+ | * Selection: Choose " | ||
+ | * File Location: Browse and select the saved Excel document from designated storage location | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Step 2: Upload and Integration** | ||
+ | * File Upload: System processes the selected Excel document | ||
+ | * Validation: Click " | ||
+ | * System Integration: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Critical Success Factors** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Filename Preservation: | ||
+ | * Requirement: | ||
+ | * System Recognition: | ||
+ | * Error Prevention: Filename modifications may result in import failures or data misalignment | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Process Verification: | ||
+ | * Quality Assurance: Review imported data within TPM system to confirm accurate integration | ||
+ | * Data Validation: Verify all modifications have been properly applied to contract configuration | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | **__Data Validation and Error Handling Protocol__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Import Validation Process** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Data Quality Assessment** | ||
+ | * Validation Screen: System displays comprehensive data validation results upon import initiation | ||
+ | * Error Identification: | ||
+ | * Quality Assurance: Automated validation ensures data integrity before system integration | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Error Management and Resolution** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Invalid Product Number Handling** | ||
+ | * System Response: Product numbers not found in TPM database are automatically excluded from import process | ||
+ | * Row Processing: Invalid entries are skipped while valid data continues through normal import workflow | ||
+ | * Error Documentation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Data Processing Logic** | ||
+ | * Selective Import: Only validated, system-recognized data is integrated into the contract | ||
+ | * Error Isolation: Invalid entries do not compromise the import of valid data elements | ||
+ | * Process Continuity: Import process continues despite individual row validation failures | ||
+ | |||
+ | **'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Pre-Import Verification: | ||
+ | * Product Number Validation: Verify all product numbers exist in TPM system before import | ||
+ | * Data Accuracy: Review Excel data for completeness and accuracy prior to upload | ||
+ | * Error Prevention: Proactive validation reduces import errors and processing delays | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Post-Import Review:** | ||
+ | * Validation Results: Carefully review validation screen for any excluded items | ||
+ | * Data Correction: Address invalid entries and re-import if necessary | ||
+ | * System Verification: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **__Incomplete Data Handling and Validation Protocols__** | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Partial Data Import Processing__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Incomplete Field Management** | ||
+ | * System Behavior: New products with missing required fields trigger "Bad Row" validation warnings | ||
+ | * Import Processing: Despite validation warnings, products are still integrated into the contract configuration | ||
+ | * Data State: Items exist within the contract but remain in incomplete status pending required field completion | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Contract Save Validation__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required Field Verification** | ||
+ | * Save Process: Contract save operation initiates comprehensive data validation | ||
+ | * System Notification: | ||
+ | * User Guidance: Clear messaging directs users to specific fields requiring completion | ||
+ | * Save Prevention: Contract cannot be finalized until all required fields are properly populated | ||
+ | |||
+ | __Data Integrity Management__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Two-Stage Validation Process:** | ||
+ | * Import Stage: Allows partial data entry with warning notifications | ||
+ | * Save Stage: Enforces complete data requirements for contract finalization | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Business Benefits:** | ||
+ | * Workflow Flexibility: | ||
+ | * Error Prevention: Multiple validation checkpoints prevent incomplete contract deployment | ||
+ | * Data Quality: Ensures all contracts meet minimum data requirements before activation | ||
+ | |||
+ | __User Action Requirements__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Post-Import Tasks:** | ||
+ | * Field Completion: Address all flagged required fields identified during import validation | ||
+ | * Data Review: Verify accuracy and completeness of all imported product information | ||
+ | * Contract Finalization: | ||
