EXCEPTIONAL REPORT
An exception report is a type of summary report that identifies any
events that are outside the scope of what is considered a normal range.
Reports of this kind are employed in a number of settings, including the
process of inventory reconciliation, project management investigation,
and even employee assessments. The goal of the report is to identify any
factors that are not considered to be within acceptable parameters,
making it possible to take actions that help to minimize or eliminate
exceptions and increase overall efficiency.
An exception reporting refers to data that are outside of normal ranges. Exception reports aggregate these unusual conditions and present them separately. A timely reporting of exception conditions makes it easier for a manager to isolate cases that require immediate attention. The manager does not have to pore through other reports looking for these exception conditions. For example, an MIS exception report could notify a store manager when his inventory is running low so that he can reorder supplies. For a large organization, a human resources exception report could flag unusual levels of sick days for certain employees and business units. An exception report is automatically generated when a situation is unusual and requires some sort of attention. For example, consider a manufacturing plant with several production lines. All lines are expected to generate a certain volume. An MIS could generate an exception report if these are not met. Exception reports rely on trigger points. These are parameters set up by managers that would result in an exception. In the case of the production lines, the trigger point could be something like 10% below expected production.

• Determine what is really important in terms of business processes (e.g. inventory turns, a customer whose invoice is X days overdue). Another name for this is Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
• Define the point at which an action needs to take place (e.g. a customer’s invoice payment is 30 days late). This is commonly called a trigger point.
• Specify this “exception” in your exception reporting system.
• Specify the person to whom the exception reporting system will send an alert when required.
• If the value calculated by the accounting system or ERP system exceeds (above or below) the value you have specified, the exception reporting system will send you an e-mail or some other form of notification, giving you both values and the details you need to address the issue.
• Rather than you having to wade through countless reports, the exception reporting system will check the value of each KPI (usually instantaneously) and notify you when something requires your attention.
• Many accounting systems and ERP systems also support the creation of calculated values so that you are not restricted to the values in your accounting system.
• Identifies the exception and posts it to an exception reporting applet specific to a named user,
• Allows users to recognize/define an exception manually and post it to their exception reporting task manager, Alternately they could create a task or project that needs to be managed using the same control elements,
• lets users describe the exception in as much detail as required,
