I have a membership Audit Problem: A young man who is 18 is a Priest and he is showing up as an exception (Unrecorded Aaronic Priesthood ordination). My Bishop says that he should not be interviewed for the office of elder because he is still in High School. He was Ordained Priest 30 Dec 2018 and holds an office in the Priests Quorum Presidency as Priests Quorum First Assistant, set apart on 1 Sep 2020. What am I overlooking and how do I fix this exception? Thank you for your help in this matter.

The prompt text at the top of that page says "Next we will show you a list of young men 12 to 18 years old whose recorded priesthood office is not appropriate for their age. Check the box next to the name of any young man who has received an Aaronic Priesthood ordination beyond what is listed." (Emphasis mine.)

What you are trying to identify at this stage is whether there is a young man who has received a priesthood ordination that has not been recorded. The young man in question has been ordained a priest and the ordination has been recorded. He has NOT received an ordination beyond what is recorded in the database, so you should not check the box. That isn't the case here. The fact that he is 18 and not yet ordained an elder isn't an exception.

The goal here is to try to identify where an ordination was performed but the ordination was not recorded on the membership record.
