An adjustment number is assigned automatically when you click the Save button after entering adjustment details.

Enter a debit to debit the general ledger account you specify when you enter the adjustment and credit the vendor account (increase the payables balance).

Enter a credit to credit the general ledger account you specify when you enter the adjustment and debit the vendor account (decrease the payables balance).

You can enter an optional description of up to 30 characters for each adjustment entry.

The description appears with the entry on the batch listing and posting journal. It also appears on the G/L Transactions report and in the General Ledger batch if you select Posting Seq.-Batch for the G/L Description Field option on the A/P Options screen, and do not consolidate G/L batches.

You can select a distribution code or enter the account number directly in the next column.

You can distribute the adjustment to as many accounts as you want.

You can enter an optional reference of up to 22 characters for each adjustment entry.

The reference appears with the entry on the batch listing and posting journal. It also appears on the G/L Transactions report and in the General Ledger batch if you select Posting Sequence-Batch for the G/L Reference field on the G/L Integration screen, and do not consolidate G/L batches.

Overview

Note: The Allow Adjustments In Payment Batch option must be selected on the A/P Options screen before you can use this screen.

Use the A/P Miscellaneous Adjustment Entry screen to account for small differences between the amount you are paying to a vendor and the amount that your records show you owe.

You can adjust a document only if you have applied a payment to it by entering a Payment transaction.
