How do I change a payment adjustment?

A payment adjustment modifies how a recorded payment affects the account—without removing the payment itself.

 

What it does

Changing a payment adjustment updates how much of a payment is applied, credited, or corrected, ensuring the final balance reflects what was actually intended.

 

Why you would change it

You’d update a payment adjustment when the original handling of a payment needs refinement:

  • Correct the applied amount
    The adjustment was entered with the wrong value or needs recalculation.

  • Fix allocation issues
    The payment was applied to the wrong license, charge, or account.

  • Update the context
    New information changes how the payment should be treated (e.g., refund vs. credit).

  • Resolve discrepancies
    Align the system with real-world transactions, such as partial payments or corrections.

 

In practice

Changing a payment adjustment keeps the payment intact while refining its impact. It’s the right approach when the transaction is valid—but how it was applied needs to be accurate and clearly documented.
