Review a categorization run finished with errors

Check current categories before assuming failed items remain uncategorized.

Updated 2026-11-11

Finished with errors means some work in that categorization run could not be processed. The status does not mean every affected transaction lacks a category; some may already have a saved choice or suggestion from an earlier run.

  1. Expand the last categorization request and read the failed count.
  2. Compare it with current coverage and the relevant bank transaction details.
  3. Review genuinely unresolved records and use the available retry action when its current conditions allow.

Keep useful completed results

Suggestions already added during the run remain part of the reviewable results. You can inspect and edit them while investigating the records that still need another attempt.

If a transaction has an earlier category, verify that it still fits the current source and business purpose rather than treating the latest processing error as a reason to erase it. If it has no usable choice, read any missing-evidence or account-mapping message before retrying. A technical retry cannot supply a receipt or resolve an ambiguous payment purpose. The closed run’s counts remain historical; use current transaction evidence to decide what work remains. No categorization status should be used alone as proof that the ledger has been posted.
