Finalist performs Exceptions Table as described below.

  1. You create an exceptions table in a text format using any editor.
    Note: ALL exceptions should be in alphabetical order (based on the ARGU field and then the L# field).
  2. During processing of your input file, Finalist uses your exceptions table file to apply changes to addresses in your input file that could be rejected to ensure a match to the Finalist Data File.
  3. The exceptions table does not change the input data, but rather the data that Finalist processes.
  4. The Address Detail Report indicates whether an exceptions table entry was used to process an address.
  5. The number of entries in your exceptions table displays on the Finalist Batch Report. If exceptions table processing is not activated, the "No. Exception Table Entries" field displays OFF. The Exceptions Table filename also displays on the Finalist Batch Report.
