Any data issues identified in the OFSAA framework can be resolved through the Inbox->Task option by creating Issues and appropriate Actions. Data Issues such as Data Quality failures or Variance breaches or even known issues can be fixed using the Adjustment Framework option in Action. The adjustment entries posted are audit trailed and data traceability enabled.
