How To Create A Transfer Adjustment

The following steps describe how to create a transfer adjustment.

Note:

You cannot use an adjustment type with a calculated amount for transfer adjustments.

To create a transfer adjustment using the Adjustment Portal:

Specify the "transfer from" Account and Obligation.
Specify an appropriate transfer Adjustment Type and click OK.
The appropriate maintenance map is displayed. Specify the Amount and if desired, the Creation Reason.
Indicate the "transfer to" Obligation and click Save

Note: Your specific implementation may define additional information required for a transfer adjustment.

After saving, the adjustment display portal is shown with the details entered so far. Click Generate. In the resulting page populate the data further:

Specify an Accounting Date and Adjustment Date. You may also specify the Effective Date.
Indicate the Debt Category to use on the debit side of the transfer or leave it blank to have it default from the adjustment type.
Indicate the Debt Category Priority for the credit side of the transfer if this adjustment should override the default debt category priority from the obligation type.
Check FT Header to indicate if the adjustment FT will be used as the assessment header, otherwise you may specify a Group FT ID if the Adjustment should be associated with a specific assessment.
Click Calculate.

After generating, click Freeze to freeze the adjustments' financial transactions.

The following steps highlight some differences in the process of creating a transfer adjustment if your implementation is using the legacy Adjustment page.

The Add dialogue brings the user to the main adjustment tab where the "transfer from" account, obligation may be specified along with the adjustment type and amount.
Creation Reason is not available.
"Transfer to" obligation information is defined on a separate Transfer Adjustment tab.
After specifying the transfer from and to information and the amount, click Generate to progress the adjustment.
