Understand what saving a clarification completes

Check the resulting category separately after adding transaction context.

Updated 2026-11-11

Answer saved means the clarification reply was stored and categorization can consider that context. It does not mean the proposed account is final, the bank source has been imported, or a journal has been posted.

  1. Confirm the Answer saved message and the stored reply.
  2. Review the transaction’s category evidence after the context is considered.
  3. Save the supported account choice and complete any remaining accounting workflow separately.

The answer and the account choice do different jobs

The reply records a fact about the payment. The category decision maps that fact to a compatible ledger account. A complete factual answer can still require account mapping or an authorized reviewer’s decision.

If the suggestion remains uncertain, read the current question and warnings rather than assuming the save failed. The answer may be present while another fact is still missing. If a category has already been saved, the clarification section can become read-only with the saved answer available for reference. Use the current review controls instead of trying to resubmit the same context through a new source record. Finish by inspecting Book status or Recorded books when your task includes accounting completion, because the clarification’s success message reports only the reply outcome.
