Missing Brand Validation

Prev Next


The system validates the "Brand" information of individual Application records on the Header section of the ACES XML file. If the brand is not available on the "Header" or "App" section of the XML file, then the validation fails and the system rejects the application.

For example, consider the attribute "BrandAAIAID" is not specified in XML and when the same is imported to the system, then the validation fails. The rejected applications with the "Missing Brand details" are available to the user for review with a valid error message under the "Task Details" section.

The following is a sample XML for Vehicle base ID:
