Quick Fixes

The Quick Fixes feature displays one or more ways to address a given error. Quick Fixes is available for data errors only.

To display Quick Fixes choices, right-click on a document error (the red squiggle) in the EDI document pane and choose Quick Fixes from the shortcut menu. The menu displays the fixes that are available for the current error:

Fixes (when there is more than one) are listed in increasing order of scope - when possible, the scope of the first choice is limited to the current error (or class of error) only; other fixes listed are typically broader in scope (turning off a type of checking or validation, for example).

How Quick Fixes Works

Quick Fixes typically provides the following suggestions for addressing errors in the EDI document:

Change the value of a property in the EDI structure. For example, error DDEE0004 indicates that a mandatory element was missing. One Quick Fix for this type of error is to change that element's Requirement property from Mandatory to Optional. This results in importing a local copy of the segment's definition to the SEF file and changing the element's Requirement property. This change affects the specific definition only and might be appropriate if you want to do validation in general, but in this specific context, you do not require a value for the element.

You can import and change EDI standard definitions at any time. See Customizing an EDI Standard for more information.

Ignore a specific error number - in this example, ignore all DDEE0004 errors. This has the effect of treating all elements as optional. This is appropriate if you want to convert the data without checking if all mandatory elements are present.

Change an XML Converter property. In this example, the suggestion would be to use opt=yes, which treats all elements and segments as optional. This is appropriate if you want to convert the data and do little or no validity checking.

You can change the XML Converter properties at any time. See Specifying XML Converter Properties for more information.
