Using Exception Manager

To help with the task of completing documents, Exception Manager provides a number of features, including color-coding to help you identify the validity of data, ways to view different parts of the document, and tools to change the data.

Exception Manager is an add-on application that allows Users to validate data and resolve exceptions within the Conexiom portal. If your organization does not have Exception Manager, it's likely these actions are completed within your ERP system.
