ITIL-FOUNDATION · Question #396
When tan a known error record tie raised? (1) At any time when it would be useful to do so (2) After a workaround has been found
The correct answer is C. Neither of the above. This question - which contains apparent typographical errors - tests the precise ITIL criterion for raising a known error record, which is root cause identification rather than workaround availability or arbitrary timing.

Why each option
This question - which contains apparent typographical errors - tests the precise ITIL criterion for raising a known error record, which is root cause identification rather than workaround availability or arbitrary timing.
Limiting known error record creation to after a workaround is found is too restrictive - ITIL permits raising the record as soon as the root cause is identified, even without a workaround.
Creating a known error record at any arbitrary time without identifying the root cause does not meet the ITIL definition, making this statement imprecise as a standalone condition.
In ITIL, a known error record should be raised once the root cause of a problem has been identified and documented. Neither 'at any time' (too broad and imprecise) nor 'only after a workaround has been found' (too restrictive, as ITIL permits raising the record before a workaround exists) accurately captures this requirement as standalone conditions.
Because neither statement precisely and correctly describes the ITIL criterion on its own, selecting both as correct is also inaccurate.
