A new validation mechanism added to prevent duplicate ABN (Australian Business Number) registrations. The system now checks if an ABN has already been used during a previous Business user registration, ensuring data integrity and avoiding duplicate business entries.
ABN Validation During Business User Registration
- When an Admin or a user registers a business account, the system now checks if the ABN provided already exists in the database.
- This validation applies to both front-end registrations, Admin-initiated registrations and Business user edit profile page.
Error Message for Duplicate ABN
- If the entered ABN matches an existing record, registration is blocked, and the system displays the following error message in red:
❌ “The ABN you entered has already been registered in the system. Please ensure Business does not already exist.”
- The user must enter a unique ABN to proceed with registration.
- Edit my profile page.
