An adjustment's amount may be positive, negative or zero:
A positive amount causes the taxpayer's balance(s) to increase.
A negative amount causes the taxpayer's balance(s) to decrease.
A zero amount will not affect the taxpayer's balance(s). A zero amount is odd, but necessary when you need to use an adjustment to correct the GL distribution. Refer to How To Use An Adjustment To Change Amounts Booked In Your GL for more information.
When creating a manual adjustment, the adjustment amount may default based on configuration on the adjustment type. When an amount is defaulted, it may be overridden by a user.
Some adjustment types may also be configured to take the base amount and calculate additional charges once the user clicks Generate.
