VALIDATION REQUIRED

If checked and the field is processed in the Target, the field to which the Requirement setting is assigned must have a validation (stored procedure) written and run against the data stored in the field.

This field is for documentation purposes only and indicates that the stored procedure should be written to validate the data, but doesn’t reflect whether one has been written.
