Review Exception Details and Resolution Options

Drill down from exception categories to exception details and review possible resolution options.

After you find exceptions, you can drill down through three levels:

Exception Category > Exception Type > Exception Details

For large result sets, the assistant shows categories first. For smaller result sets, it may go directly to exception types.

Select a category or type by entering its number or name from the displayed table.

Exception Categories and Types

Examples of exception categories include:

  • Project Definition

  • Rate Definition

  • Currency Conversion

  • Accounting Period

Examples of exception types include:

  • Project cost date isn't within project start and finish dates.

  • Cost rate for the worker is missing as of the project cost date.

  • Receiver ledger currency conversion rate is missing.

Exception Details

Exception details are grouped by the attributes most relevant to the selected exception type.

For example, missing worker cost rate exceptions may be grouped by worker, rate schedule, and project cost date range.

When the grouping contains only one transaction, the assistant adds the unprocessed transaction reference.

Resolution Options

After the assistant displays exception details, it lists possible resolution options for the selected exception type.

Example:

Project cost date isn't within project start and finish dates

Possible resolution options:

  • Change the project start and finish dates.

  • Change the project cost date.

The assistant lists options but does not choose or execute them.

  • Exception Types: return to the type summary.

  • Exception Categories: return to the category summary.

  • Start Over: begin a new query.
