The Resolution table contains the Resolutions applied to Exceptions in various SmartSolve© solutions. Resolutions are selected by the Exception Owner prior to closing an Exception if no further action is needed (no Issue needed). The Resolution identifies the results of the investigation and justification as to why no further investigation is needed or what conclusion came upon verifying why the record can now be closed. Once a Resolution is assigned to the Exception; the Status of the Exception changes to CLOSED.
Exceptions can be re-opened once Resolutions are assigned as long as the user has appropriate rights. The user must also justify why the Exception is being reopened. A new Resolution will later need to be applied in order to Close the Exception record.
