Handling Adjustments

Adjustments allow you to match transactions that have a variance in amounts for a valid reason.

If the manual match rules have been configured to allow tolerance, you can create a match with adjustment (as opposed to an exact match). You can also adjust one or more transactions from the same source, which is known as a single sided adjustment.

You can select transactions that are within the acceptable tolerance, and then click Match with Adjustment. The Selected Transactions dialog shows the selected transactions and allows you to fill in adjustment details. Then click Match with Adjustment to create the match. For a single sided adjustment, you can select transactions from one source and click Adjust to create the adjustment.

If you configure currency for data sources within the match type, the Adjustment panel contains the Currency field that shows the currency associated with the selected transactions. An error is shown if transactions with currencies that are not an exact match results are selected.

Unless Skip Review for Match with Adjustment is enabled for the match type, several validations are performed before the adjustment is saved. Messages are displayed when the following conditions exist:

• A value is missing for a Required attribute.
• The value entered for a Text attribute exceeds the maximum allowed length.
• The value entered for a list attribute is not defined in the attribute's list of valid values.

These validations help ensure that adjustments are accurate and increase the likelihood of successful posting to downstream systems.
