Agreement Adjustment Tab

Add or remove hours, incidents, or dollars from an agreement balance. Use adjustments to back-date coverage or correct allocation errors.

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

Adjustments pod fields

FieldDescription
AgreementDefaults to the current agreement and its start date.
AdjustmentEnter a positive number to add; enter a negative number to remove.
Effective DateThe date the adjustment takes effect.
NotesOptional 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.

  7. Go to Time & Expense > Time Entry Search.
  8. Open each time entry that should apply to this agreement.
