Defining Resolution Reasons for Discrepancies

Users can manually resolve discrepancies. When doing so, the user must also provide an explanation — a reason — for resolving the discrepancy. The user must select a resolution reason from the list that you define in the DISCREPANCY RESOLU TYPE CODE installation reference codelist.

Enter values in the Description field and the Short Value field. The system displays the text string that you specify in the Description field to display the list of resolution reasons to the user. The corresponding short value is stored in the database.

Note:

Oracle reserves the CND BLK DELETED value as the resolution for a manual discrepancy associated with a conditional block that was deleted. The value is hard-coded. Do not add this value to the DISCREPANCY RESOLU TYPE CODE codelist.

The following table lists the default entries in the DISCREPANCY RESOLU TYPE CODE codelist.

Table 3-13 Values for the DISCREPANCY RESOLU TYPE CODE

Short Value	Long Value	Description
CRA VERIFY	CONFIRMED	CRA Correction
CRA VERIFY-INV	CONFIRMED	CRA Correction, Investigator consulted
CRA VERIFY-SRC	CONFIRMED	CRA Correction, Source Data consulted
INV VERIFY	CONFIRMED	Investigator Correction
STUDY ASSUMP	CONFIRMED	Study Assumption
NO ACTION REQD	CONFIRMED	No Action Required
ELIMINATED	IRRESOLVABLE	Data value changed. Disc no longer applicable.
OVERRULED	NON DISCREPANT	Disc not considered a validation error.
DATA MODIFIED	IRRESOLVABLE	Data value changed. Disc no longer applicable.
INV-NO INFO	IRRESOLVEABLE	Investigator queried. No more information available.

If you add a value, select a long value from the following:

• NULL: No value entered.

• CONFIRMED

• IRRESOLVABLE: Used for values which correspond to manually closed discepancies. This makes the RESOLUTIONTYPE CODE and COMMENT available when user selects an IRRESOLVABLE status.

• NOT DISCREPANT. Used for manual discrepancies only; indicates that the discrepancy was raised for a comment, not because there was a problem with the data.
