Identifying Discretionary Edits

Discretionary edits appear when you try to process a transaction that does not conform to business rules.

In the example below, the discretionary edit is indicated by the pink question mark icon (?) on the Error Worksheet window.

Note: If the data issue can be resolved on the current active window, click the question mark icon (?) icon to navigate to the location of the data issue.

When you navigate to the discretionary edit or close the Error Worksheet window, a discretionary edit icon appears to the left of each field that triggered a discretionary edit if the data issue originated on the current active window.
