            <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5200m000" role="session">Validate Product Variants (tipcf5200m000)</GUIRef> session, is primarily developed to quickly
			 validate multiple product variants that are exchanged between companies by
			 means of <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000092" role="glossary">EDI</Link>. As a result, you need
			 no longer start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5120m000" role="session">Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000)</GUIRef> session to validate existing product variants, or
			 start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5230m000" role="session">Calculate Product Variant Sales Price Structure (tipcf5230m000)</GUIRef> session
			 manually, to calculate the sales price for a configured product variant. You
			 can also use this session to easily check which product variants have an
			 invalid configuration.</Paragraph>

If the configuration is valid, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5101s000#tipcf500.vali" role="field">Product Variant Valid</GUIRef> check box is selected in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5101s000" role="session">Product Variants (tipcf5101s000)</GUIRef> session.
