Validate and Submit a Change Set in Salesforce Spiff

Before submitting a change set to the production environment, validate the change set to check for potential issues that prevent Spiff from merging the changes. However, validating a change set doesn’t verify that the changes result in calculable commission statements. Before submitting your change set, select the necessary dependent items. If you don’t include the dependencies, calculation errors can occur. After you test your changes, submit the change set for approval and deployment.
