Adjustments are part of the special tools that are never used except during the accounting start-up of the company. They can be used exceptionally by experienced users who have a good understanding of the accounting rules of the software.

To use adjustments, we must confirm our intention by clicking the button above, then select the customer account with the search button or by entering the code. Once the customer is selected, the list of current account items will be displayed in a table on the right (in this example, the customer account is empty).

You must enter the adjustment reference, the date and the amount. If the amount is positive, the adjustment will be an invoice; if it is negative, the adjustment will be a credit. The adjustment mode determines whether or not the tool creates an entry in the general ledger. When starting the accounting of the company, the option WITHOUT G/L entry will be used. This option allows you to adjust the auxiliary account without affecting the general ledger. During an accounting start, the general ledger will be adjusted by an opening entry.

If an adjustment is not made as part of an accounting start, it is very likely that the WITH G/L Entry mode will be chosen. In this case, you will need to enter or select a G/L account as a counterpart for the adjustment entry.

With this option, you will need to specify whether a sales tax adjustment should be part of the transaction.

An adjustment WITHOUT G/L entry used outside of an accounting start will unbalance the auxiliary balance versus the G/L.

A G/L adjustment entry must be made to rebalance the balance of the G/L account receivable covered by this customer's classification.
