Overview
The Account Adjustments screen is used to apply open credit memos and unapplied cash to invoices or debit memos. The same functionality is also available as part of the cash receipts entry. The Account Adjustments screen is different in that it only allows applying the credit or unapplied cash to open invoices or debit memos without any other entries.
Detail
There are no General Ledger entries made, as the balance of the Accounts Receivables will not change. Using the Account Adjustments screen makes quick application of credits easy and simple. If the user has access to print customer statements, a button on the toolbar can be used to easily print the statement of the customer for whom the adjustment is being made.
