An indicator of poor input edit controls is the presence of alpha characters in the field for order lead time. Order lead time should only contain numeric values representing the time in days or weeks; the presence of alpha characters signifies that the system failed to enforce proper input validation, allowing for invalid data entry.
Alphabetical characters. As per best practices, data input fields where only numbers to be input, shall not allow alphabetical characters to be input. I hope this clarifies.
Alpha characters?
