Hi Madhu

Validation is for eg

If you want to use particular GL and Cost center combination and whenever the user enter the different combination, you can have a validation rule which will alert you by a warning message or erro message.

Substitution is for eg. even though the user enter the wrong cost center GL combination, the substitution will replace the wrong with the correct cost center in the back ground.

Thanks

Hi

Both validations are substitutions are user defined boolean statements(a combination like if and =, or ,and etc).

Validation as the name suggests will validate your date and substitution will substitute your data with correct data.

you define validations in OB28 T.code.

Another example of validation could be you restrict your user to post only in specific periods or only in current dates. The system issue a error msg when the user try to post in future date of the same posting period.

I have answered a thread in SDN-Check out here and download the doc.
