When importing an AutoCare Qdb (Qualifier Database) file many STEP validation rules are performed. The table below describes each of these validation rules, where the validation check occurs, what happens when a validation fails, and an example of a failed validation message (when applicable). However, it does not detail the file type's data rules per the AutoCare Association. This information can be found at www.autocare.org.
