Exception resolution
MATERIAL EXCEPTION
Business question
An authoritative manufacturer source marks a gateway model Legacy and identifies a replacement. A reviewed authorised distributor labels the same product Active.
Observation record
Observed / reviewed on 2026-09-18
What we observed
Manufacturer state: Legacy, with a named replacement. Authorised-distributor lifecycle label: Active.
Why it mattered
Legacy and Active can support different purchase, support and replacement decisions.
What Scoriors checked
Legacy and Active can drive different purchase, support and replacement decisions; the conflict is decision-relevant within the reviewed scope.
What Scoriors found
What still held
Lifecycle and replacement context is affected. Inventory legitimacy, contract status and product compliance were not assessed.
What was affected
Confirm identity and applicability; route to channel or product owner; establish correct downstream context; re-test.
What remained uncertain
Regional SKU mapping, stock policy, refresh timing, contracts and internal partner guidance.
What needed another check
Confirm identity and applicability, route the conflict to the channel or product owner, establish the correct downstream context and re-test.
What Scoriors does not conclude
No conclusion about legality, inventory legitimacy, contractual breach, wrongdoing or compliance.
Re-test trigger
Corrected downstream context or a new authoritative lifecycle update
