How to avoid that FND_FLEX_PLSQL.VALIDATE() is not triggered when the same data is re-entered ?

(Doc ID 2023950.1)

Last updated on APRIL 23, 2018

Applies to:

Oracle Self-Service Human Resources - Version 12.1.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

FND_FLEX_PLSQL.VALIDATE() function ONLY gets called if the combination is not found as an existing combination in the code combinations table.  
When one is trying to add a record that is the same as an existing record, then the apps do not, and WILL NOT, call the extra FND_FLEX_PLSQL.VALIDATE function.
