When it is time to create reports based on your data, the consistency of entity data becomes crucial. It is easy to miss or report incorrectly sales if you strictly base your aggregates on the data coming from a system that has free form data entry on these key fields.

New Jersey, N.J, NJ, NJ., N J

All these entries will make it for shipping but not for analytical reporting.

By using TGPValidate to add a business rule to the Customer Maintenance window (or anywhere in the system that accepts the State field) it will assist us in controlling what goes into the system to facilitate reporting and other activities.

The included script, will prevent users from entering values to the state field not included in the standard abbreviation:
