  The SAP error message /CCEE/RSFI016 Validation method &1 in node &2 is invalid typically occurs in the context of SAP's Consolidation and Financial Reporting tools, particularly when dealing with validation rules in the context of data validation or financial consolidation processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Validation Method: The error indicates that the validation method specified (denoted by &1) for a particular node (denoted by &2) is not recognized or is not valid in the current context. This could be due to:
  
  The validation method not being defined in the system.
  A typo or incorrect reference in the configuration.
  The validation method being deactivated or deleted.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to the validation methods or nodes in the SAP system.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the validation method was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated.

  Editing the node configuration to reference a valid validation method.
  Creating a new validation method if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the relevant objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to set up and manage validation methods and nodes.
