Administration guidance

Manage overrides and waivers

Use bounded maker-checker exceptions without erasing the control result that prompted them.

FOR
Organisation administrator, Approver, Procurement, Finance
OUTCOME
Use RAQOZ to use bounded maker-checker exceptions without erasing the control result that prompted them.

Before you begin

  • Organisation administrator access, or another role explicitly permitted for the setting.
  • The organisation has agreed the control or operating decision before configuration.

Guidance

  1. 1

    Confirm the underlying control result and evidence gap before requesting an exception.

  2. 2

    State the reason, scope and validity required for the waiver or override.

  3. 3

    Send the request to an independent eligible decision maker.

  4. 4

    Keep the original result, decision and later consumption connected.

Evidence RAQOZ retains

  • Original control result
  • Exception request and rationale
  • Independent decision and bounded use

Common issues

A configuration change behaves differently than expected.

Review scope, effective date, inheritance and status. Use a representative test or no-write simulation before activating a policy change.

A prior transaction appears to use an older rule.

That may be correct. Effective-dated versions preserve the policy context used at the time instead of rewriting history.
