18. Data Validation
Validation is the operator action who certifies data quality to make data as stamped or validated data.
Validation is achieved in three phases
Data selection phase
Selection of data period shall be 15 days
Control / Correction phase
The correction/modification done over data.
Validation phase
Saved modifications are set with a validation stamp on data. Validation occurs only on server side.
