| Validate Account Type | Requires new Accounts to use an Account Type registered for this Ledger. | Enable when Accounts must follow a controlled classification model. |
| Validate Routes       | Requires Transactions to match configured Accounting Routes.             | Enable after your Accounting Routes are planned or configured.      |

<Warning>
  Do not enable **Validate Routes** before your Accounting Routes exist. A Transaction that does not match a route fails validation.
