How do I enter a billing adjustment?

A billing adjustment is a change made to an account balance to correct, increase, reduce, or reallocate charges associated with billing activity. Billing adjustments help ensure that account balances accurately reflect the correct amounts owed.

Billing adjustments may be used to correct billing errors, apply credits, reverse charges, adjust penalties or fees, or update balances after account reviews or disputes. These adjustments help support accurate billing, reconciliation, reporting, and audit tracking within Business Tax Collection.
