A scan error indicates which condition?

In this context, a scan error happens when the remittance code that is scanned exists in the system, but there is no action defined for it. The workflow can’t proceed because there’s no defined instruction or routing for that code, so the scanner flags an error. This is different from a code that isn’t recognized at all or a code that has a defined action (which would allow processing to continue). When you see a scan error, the remedy is to verify the code against the mapping of codes to actions and, if needed, add or update the defined action for that code.
