What is a requirement for saving changes to a PCMCS rule?

To save changes to a PCMCS rule, it is essential for the rule to be validated. Validation is a critical step that ensures the logic of the rule is correct and that there are no errors that could lead to incorrect calculations or data inconsistencies. This process checks for syntax errors, logical errors, and ensures that the rule adheres to the necessary guidelines and constraints established within the PCMCS application.

Validation serves not only to confirm that the rule is functionally sound but also to provide feedback on any issues that need to be addressed before the rule can be finalized and saved. This is particularly important in a complex environment where accuracy is paramount, as it helps prevent mistakes that could have significant implications for profitability and cost management analyses.

Ensuring that the rule is validated supports the overall integrity of the data processing and analytics within PCMCS, thereby making it a requirement for saving any modifications to a rule.
