• Key Concepts: 
  Technical validity is a concept used in the SAP AP-MD Master Data component. It is a way of ensuring that the data entered into the system is valid and accurate. It is used to check that the data entered into the system meets certain criteria, such as being within a certain range or having a specific format.
  
  How to use it: 
  Technical validity can be used to ensure that data entered into the system is valid and accurate. This can be done by setting up rules and criteria for the data that must be met before it can be accepted. For example, a rule could be set up to only accept numbers between 1 and 10, or to only accept dates in a specific format. Once these rules are set up, any data that does not meet these criteria will be rejected.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up technical validity rules, it is important to make sure that they are as specific as possible. This will help ensure that only valid data is accepted into the system. It is also important to make sure that the rules are regularly reviewed and updated as needed, as this will help keep the system up-to-date with any changes in the data requirements.
