6 Understanding Adjustments and Corrections

This chapter contains these topics:

6.1 About Adjustments and Corrections

In addition to using the standard Oracle JD Edwards World Accounts Payable programs, you must use Russian-specific programs to:

  • Set up the system to work with adjustments and corrections documents.

  • Create adjustments for vouchers and invoices.

  • Associate adjustments to original invoices or vouchers.

  • Create corrections to vouchers and invoices.

  • Associate corrections to original invoices or vouchers.

6.2 Adjustments

An adjustment is a legal document that companies generate to modify vouchers, invoices or correction invoices previously issued with errors. A company generates an adjustment for a voucher or an invoice when its header information, such as supplier address or customer information, needs to be updated or corrected. You can issue an adjustment document to amend errors that are not related to item quantity or price.

You enter a new document using the standard software, using the specific document type for voucher/invoice adjustments. Then, you use the Adjustment/Correction Relationship (P74R0060) program, available both on G74R03 and G74R04 menus, to relate this change to the original document (voucher or invoice). Finally, this information is reflected when you print the VAT books.

The system saves adjustment information in the following tables:

  • Accounts Receivable Ledger (F0311).

  • Accounts Payable Ledger (F0411).

  • Adjustment/Correction Relationship with the Original Invoice (F74R0312).

  • Adjustment/Correction Relationship with the Original Voucher (F74R0412).

6.2.1 Updating Adjustments in the Address Book

To reflect the adjustment update VAT Purchase and Sales Books, you should modify the supplier information in the Address Book. The program A/B Additional Information (P74R0101) enables you to keep track of changes by storing the information by date. The previous Address Book information is saved into the Address Book by Date (F74R0116) table.

6.3 Corrections

A company creates a correction voucher/invoice if the contract conditions change or a document presents errors related to quantity or price in its lines. To amend errors that are not related to amounts or quantities, you create an adjustment document instead.

You enter a new credit or debit note using the standard software, using the specific document type for voucher/invoice corrections. Then, you use the Adjustment/Correction Relationship (P74R0060) program, available both on G74R03 and G74R04 menus, to relate this change to the original document (voucher or invoice). Finally, this information is reflected when you print the VAT books.

Each correction document includes its own correction number and date.

The system saves correction information in the following tables:

  • Accounts Receivable Ledger (F0311).

  • Accounts Payable Ledger (F0411).

  • Adjustment/Correction Relationship with the Original Invoice (F74R0312).

  • Adjustment/Correction Relationship with the Original Voucher (F74R0412).
