A validation in BrightBooks typically refers to a check or report that ensures your accounting data—such as nominal balances—are accurate and consistent.

You can run a Nominal Only Validation Report to identify any issues with nominal balances for the current and future periods.

If errors are found, you may need to run a Nominal Only Recalculation to resolve them.

Validations can sometimes be identified:

• When running a year-end routine.

• By reports showing incorrect balances.

• The Customer/Supplier balance is showing incorrectly.

If you have validations on your account and a Nominal Only Recalculation does not resolve them, please contact support.
