These are the checks that can be customized and you are able to specify the length and a checking rule
which together will be the validation that is relevant for that field.

For example Postal code can have 5 as the length of the field and the Checking rule will determine if the
length specified is the maximum length or the exact length with/without gaps etc.

You could use Further Checks to make the specified field mandatory. For example when Postal code req.
entry is checked, Postal code will be a mandatory input during vendor master creation.
