Adjustments
The Adjustments feature allows reviewers to correct, modify, or update invoice amounts either at the overall invoice level (summary adjustment) or at the individual line item level (line item adjustment). This ensures accurate billing, prevents duplicate charges, and maintains transparency with vendors by recording reasons and notes for every adjustment.
- Navigate to the Invoices section.
- Select an invoice from the list to open its Detail View (Overview Tab).
- Within the Invoice Summary or Line Items section, click on the Adjustment icon to open the respective adjustment form.
Types of Adjustments
