A warning I disagree with
A WARNING-severity validation result appeared, and you believe the rule's complaint is unwarranted (the data is correct as stated).
What this means
Warnings do not block export — the gate ignores them. They are surfaced for human judgement.
When to document and proceed
If after inspection the data is correct and the rule is being unhelpful (e.g. flagging a perfectly legitimate "Profit Before Tax without an income-tax expense" when the entity is in tax-loss-carryforward territory), document on the filing log and proceed.
When to escalate
If the same warning recurs across multiple filings for similar reasons, file a constitution-level issue. The rule library is published by ACRA and revisions happen — a long-running warning that's always wrong is worth pushing back on.
When NOT to ignore
ACRA can reject a filing even when the platform's gate let it through. Warnings most likely to be regulator-rejection candidates:
cross_statementwarnings (equity / cash-flow reconciliation mismatches)sign_conventionwarnings on revenue / expense classificationsmandatorywarnings (anINFO-priority element missing that the regulator expects)
When in doubt, fix the underlying data even though the gate would let you through.
