Project managers use this page to enter project-related ChartField values for the new transaction lines that are created when the transaction is adjusted.

If you are adjusting a single transaction, this page appears showing the ChartField values in the New Transaction Lines scroll area from the original transaction. Enter new values as required in the New Transaction Lines scroll area. Remove values to leave fields empty in the new transaction.

If you are adjusting multiple transactions, this page appears showing only the project business unit, project, activity, and other default values in the New Transaction Lines scroll area. Values that you enter in the New Transaction Lines scroll area apply to all transactions that appear in the Selected Project Transactions for Adjustment grid. Fields that you do not change on this page (fields that you leave blank) retain their original values in the adjusted transactions.

Note: To delete a ChartField value and leave the field empty on transaction rows, you must use the Transaction Adjustment page for a single transaction. For example, assume that the original transaction has a department value of 123 and product value of 789, and you want to change the department to A64 with no product value. You must select only this transaction to adjust, which enables you to delete the product value in the New Transaction Lines scroll area.
