Manual Bill Entry Validators
This section applies to manually entered bills only
Note, Validators in the General Bill Entry section also work with Manual Billing:

BE – AccountLinkBillEditCheck
Stops users making a second change to a bill. It applies to bills older than 30 minutes and is used in conjunction with the Accounts Link Activity
BE - BillAttachmentValidator
Checks that an attachment has been added to the manual bill.
BE – BillEntryStopper
Alerts you if you are trying to save a bill to an Account that has this Validator set up against it
BE – BillInvoiceDateValidator
This Validator will fail if a valid date has not been entered in the Invoice date field.
BE – BillInvoiceNumber

BE – BillReceivedDateValidator
Checks that a received date has been entered in the manual bill.
BE – ElecUseDeMin & BE – GasUseDeMin
Checks whether a value of 1 has been entered in the deminimus cell. Validator will fail if any other value is there. If the 1 is present and the cost of the invoice is not adding up then it may be that CCL has been incorrectly charged.
