Resolving an exception

Who can do this

reconciliation:read to see it, reconciliation:import to load UWA records, reconciliation:run to compare, reconciliation:resolve to close an exception. Insights → Reconciliation.

Every exception has to be closed by a person deciding what it was.

Resolve

OutcomeUse it when
AcceptedThe discrepancy is real and legitimate — a manual entry that genuinely happened. It stands, and it counts.
Record correctedThe data was wrong and you have fixed it — a mistyped plate, a wrong date.
Known exceptionAn expected mismatch that recurs for a documented reason.
False positiveNot a discrepancy at all — the matcher was wrong, usually a formatting difference in the plate.

Add a note explaining the decision, then Resolve. Open to review drops by one.

Resolved

If a resolve fails

A resolve that comes back with a technical error message is a fault between the portal and the server, not something wrong with what you typed. Retrying will not help; report it rather than editing your note and trying again.

Doing it well​

  • Resolve while you remember. A three-week-old exception is archaeology.
  • Write the note. "Accepted" alone tells an auditor nothing. "Accepted — manual entry after RFID reader failure at Tangi, INC-CARD-0007" tells them everything.
  • Watch for patterns. Many Manual only exceptions at one gate is a hardware problem, not a paperwork problem.
  • Never resolve to clear the queue. These records become the bill.
