Accept a deviation when a reported issue is acceptable and does not require correction, for example a duplicate that you intentionally keep as two separate records.
Prerequisites
An assessment result exists with the status Open.
Steps
Press Alt+Q to open the Tell Me search.
Enter Validation History and select the page from the results.
Select the assessment run, and then select Show Log.
Review the result you want to accept:
For a validation failure, review the result line in the Quality Assessment Exception Log.
For a duplicate failure, select the line, select View Duplicate Lines, and review the duplicate candidates on the Duplicate Result Details page.
Select the result line, or select multiple result lines to accept several at once.
Select Accept Deviation.
Results
Business Central changes the status of the selected results to Accepted Deviation, and you are no longer prompted to take corrective action on them.
Note
Accepting a deviation does not exclude the record from future runs. When you rerun the assessment and the same issue fails again, Business Central flags it again with the status Open.
