The five ways out of an exception

Written for TableDI 2.0.0 on macOS · updated 2026-09-15

An exception is a row the job handled exactly as told that still needs a person: a payment that matches nothing, two amounts that disagree, a key that's blank or appears twice. After a run they wait on the job's Exceptions tab under To confirm. For a row, or a group with one cause, pick a way out:

  1. Add a rule and preview — fix the cause for this period and the ones after. Lifetime version.
  2. Change the source file — the file itself is wrong.
  3. Waive this period… — accept it with a reason that goes into the delivery.
  4. Carry to next period — the other side arrives later, like money in transit. Lifetime version.
  5. Mark as to do — neither wrong nor finished; it doesn't hold the delivery back.

You don't have to settle every row before delivering; the delivery asks once.

The Exceptions tab: kinds on the left, the rows in the middle, the selected row and the ways out on the right.

Reading the tab

Kinds and counts are on the left, the rows in the middle, and the selected row with its ways out on the right. Select … · handle together ticks every row with the same cause.

What each way out does

  • Adding a rule opens the Rules tab at the matching step. Nothing changes until you apply it; then this period is worked out again and the rows the rule settles leave the list. See Changing a rule.
  • Changing the source: fix the file, save it where it was, then click Run … again with the new file. Only this period is replaced; decided rows follow by type · key · difference.
  • Waiving asks Why (goes into the delivery). Numbers don't change. If the same row turns up next period it is marked Waived last period with your reason, and takes one confirmation.
  • Carrying marks the row Carried to …. Next period it joins the matching and closes on its own when its pair turns up; otherwise it's back to confirm.
  • To do keeps the row under Marked to do.

Changed your mind? Open the row and click Put it back to «to confirm».

In the delivery

Waived, carried and to-do rows go into the Exceptions sheet with their reason and original difference; rows still to confirm don't.
