Redwood: View Scenario Exceptions Using a New User Experience

If you use the standard cost method to value your enterprise's inventory, you need to roll up the costs of your products. When you roll up the costs, publish the rolled up costs, and unpublish  the published costs, the corresponding processes log exception messages for the cost scenario. You need to review these exceptions and resolve or ignore them based on your business requirements.

The Scenario Exceptions page displays all the exceptions for the cost scenarios that had activity in the last 7 days. You can search for the records and filter the results based on your requirements.
