Agreement Adjustment Tab
The Adjustments tab lets you add or remove hours, incidents, or dollars from an agreement’s available balance. The change appears immediately on the Agreement Recap Pod.
Adjustments list fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Effective Date | The date the adjustment takes effect. |
| Adjustment | The number of hours, incidents, or dollars added or removed. |
| Units | The unit type: hours, incidents, or dollars. |
| Last Update | The date the adjustment was last modified. |
| Updated By | The member who last modified the adjustment. |
Adjustments pod fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Agreement | Defaults to the current agreement and its start date. |
| Adjustment | Enter a positive number to add; enter a negative number to remove. |
| Effective Date | The date the adjustment takes effect. |
| Notes | Optional notes. These appear on the Agreement Reconciliation Report. |
Note: Adjustments expire based on the agreement’s recurring invoicing parameters, not a fixed calendar date. For example, if the agreement bills on a Contract Year cycle, an adjustment made on March 1 expires one contract year later from that date — not at the end of the calendar year.
