• Key Concepts: 
  Validation is a process in the Business Object Framework (BOPF) for ABAP that checks the consistency of data before it is saved. It ensures that the data entered into the system meets certain criteria and is valid. Validation can be done manually or automatically, depending on the requirements of the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  Validation can be used to check data before it is saved in the system. This can be done manually by checking the data against certain criteria or automatically by using validation rules. Validation rules are defined in the BOPF and can be used to check for errors or inconsistencies in the data. The validation process can also be used to ensure that data is entered correctly and meets certain criteria before it is saved.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up validation rules, it is important to consider what type of data needs to be validated and what criteria should be used for validation. It is also important to consider how often the validation should occur and how errors should be handled if they are found. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the validation rules are kept up-to-date as changes in the system may require changes in the validation rules.
