How To Use An Adjustment To Change The GL Distribution

Assume you have a frozen bill segment that affected an incorrect GL distribution code (e.g., it booked revenue to commercial - time-of-use - revenue and it should have booked it to industrial - time-of-use - revenue. You have two ways to correct such a situation:

You could correct the cause of the incorrect distribution code (probably incorrect GL information on a calculation rule/pricing rule) and cancel / rebill the bill segment. Refer to Cancel / Rebill for more information about this method.
You could create an adjustment that does not impact the customer's balance but does have a GL entry. This GL entry would reverse the effect of the original distribution code and have an offsetting entry to the correct distribution code. The following points explain how to do this:
Choose an adjustment type that only impacts the GL (i.e., the adjustment's adjustment type has an FT algorithm that doesn't impact the customer's current or payoff balance, it only impacts the GL).
Enter an adjustment amount of zero.
Generate the adjustment.
Drill into the adjustment's financial transaction and enter two (or more) GL distribution rows that reflect the redistribution of the amounts.
Return to the adjustment and freeze it.

Note:

Adjusting statistical amounts. You can use the above approach to change the statistical amount that is interfaced to the general ledger. The statistical amount is simply another column on the financial transaction's GL distribution rows.
