Check an Account Field before saving

I would like to perform validation on a field that represents what type of account it is. I would like to check Account Picklist field, and if the correct value allow the parent ID to be saved or else it should be blank. Is this possible?

The alternative is messy with REST API from the external database. Validating in salesforce would be preferable.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

You can create validation rule on Account, there you can specify the condition, which will confirm whether to create account or not. If not, you can add error message to be displayed.

Thanks,
