Options

Account

An account is an accounting record that shows increases, decreases, and a balance.

What is the account number?

  • I know the account number. Use the Account field to enter an account number.

  • Help me find the account number. Click Search, located at the end of the Account field. Use the Search form to select the account number. Click OK.

Billed amount

The Billed Amount displays the unadjusted billed amount. When you enter the Adjustment amount, in the Selected the Unpaid Billing to Adjust grid, the system will update the amount in the Billed Amount field to reflect the adjusted amount.

New Amount = Billed Amount − Adjustment

For example, the account for the Simms Estate is billed 172.63 but the account should only be billed $152.63. Jane uses Enter Billing Adjustments to subtract 20.00 from the billed amount. She enters 20.00-, making sure to enter the minus (-) sign, in the Adjustment column.

 

Then, Jane checks the amount in the New Amount column to make sure the New Amount column correctly displays the new billed amount.   

What is the adjustment amount?

Use the Adjustment column in the Select the Unpaid Billings to Adjust grid to enter the adjustment amount.
