Observation Tolerance

Observation Tolerance

Introduction

Our new Observation Tolerance feature has been introduced to reduce unnecessary manual work when reviewing data imported from accounting softwares. This feature allows users to set acceptable variance limits for small discrepancies, such as rounding differences in market values or incomes. Observations within the tolerance range will now automatically move to the Good To Go section, eliminating the need to approve minor discrepancies.

  1. Income Comparison - Compares the income received from the listed investments with the income announcement data.
