Validation & Error Handling

the ruby globalquoteserviceapi createquote() https //docs nue io/apex global methods and services method returns structured errors and warnings that enable programmatic error handling this is especially valuable for ai driven workflows where the system can self correct based on error codes response structure on failure when a request fails validation or encounters a business logic error, the response includes a failure status and a list of structured error messages ruby globalapitypes createquoteresponse response = ruby globalquoteserviceapi createquote(request);

duplicate ignored default value applied a default value was applied for a missing field informational best practices always check response status before accessing response data data is null when status = 'failure' inspect warnings even on succeed warnings indicate potential issues such as discount conflicts, duplicate tags, or applied defaults that may not match your intent use errortype (not errorcode ) for programmatic handling errorcode contains the severity level ( "error" , "warning" ), while errortype contains the specific error code (e g , "product quantity invalid" ) for ai integrations parse errortype to auto correct and retry the structured error codes are designed for programmatic consumption an ai system can map each errortype to a correction strategy product sku or name required look up the correct sku product billingperiod invalid check the available values listed in the error message business logic error with "no pricebook entry found" try a different uom or currency, or create the missing price book entry quote subscriptionterm invalid ensure term is a positive number validate in preview mode first use iscommit = false to catch all errors before committing this avoids partial state from failed commits handle multiple errors a single request can return multiple errors (e g , missing quote name and invalid product quantity) process all errors before retrying rather than fixing one at a time
