What is the purpose of customer-managed validation when updates are released?

• A. It ensures updates are applied automatically without review
• B. It allows customers to validate updates against their configurations before applying
• C. It delays updates indefinitely
• D. It disables tax updates

Answer: (B)

Customer-managed validation gives you a controlled checkpoint to test updates against your payroll configurations before they go live. By validating in a staging or test environment, you can verify that tax rules, calculations, and client-specific setups still produce the expected results after the update. This reduces the risk of misconfigurations or incorrect payroll processing when the update is applied and lets you approve deployment only after confirming compatibility. It isn’t about automatic application, indefinite delaying, or disabling tax updates—the goal is to confirm that the changes fit your configuration before you apply them.
