When an invoice is entered, multiple receivables and payables are created based on the invoice type, and the amount of agency and producer commission.

Sometimes, one or more of the values are entered incorrectly, and need to be adjusted, but the original invoice is in a closed general ledger period.

Adjustments can be created with standalone invoices, or on-the-fly through reconcile.

This process will create a standard invoice using Policy & Billing, separate from the original incorrect invoice.

1. Load a client on one of the client tabs.
2. Open the existing incorrect invoice in Policy & Billing:

   • Select Policy & Billing from the top toolbar.

3. Select Policy -> Close Transaction.
4. Select Policy -> New Transaction.

   

5. Enter ADJ for Transaction (Transaction).
6. Verify the Bill Method. (Typically Agency Bill).
7. Select Next.
8. Type in only the adjustment amount(s).

   Examples

   • To increase the client premium by $50.00, enter Amount $50.00, and any additional commission changes for Agency and Producer.
   • To decrease the agency commission by $12.50, and not change the client premium, enter only an amount in the Agy Comm field as -$12.50.

Adjust an Invoice Using Reconcile

While performing either Reconcile Company Payables, Reconcile Producer Payables, Reconcile Client Receivables, or Reconcile Company Receivables, any invoice can be adjusted on-the-fly without leaving the reconcile window.

The example below is for Company Payables.

1. Select Company -> Reconcile Company Payables (Agency Bill).
2. Enter the Company code.
3. Verify the Start Date and End Date and select OK. The invoices will be loaded.
4. To adjust an invoice Right-Click anywhere on the invoice line and select Adjust This Invoice.

   

5. The Adjust Details window displays with one tab for each invoice line. Select the invoice line to adjust.
6. Enter new Adjusted amount, or enter the Adjustment difference. Select Tie adjustments to client adjustment to increase or decrease the client balance by the adjustment amount.

   

7. Enter the Transaction code, typically ADJ.
8. Optionally select Adjustment Effect Date to change the adjustment date from the current date to either the payment date, or a specific day.
9. Select Ok.
10. Complete the remaining Reconcile Company Payables steps to pay the invoices, verify the payment details, and perform the reconciliation.

The adjustment invoice is only created after Perform Reconciliation is selected, and the reconcile complete. If the reconciliation is cancelled, no changes are saved. The adjustment transaction and invoice will be created as the most recent transaction (SEQ) on the policy.
