How to Create Transaction Adjustments
This step-by-step guide describes how to add adjustments to transactions. An adjustment is applied to a transaction line item's purchase price to calculate the final sale price. See How to Create Transaction Line Items for more information. Adjustments are applied automatically to new line items that meet the adjustment's criteria. These criteria are Product, Start/Stop Date, Customer Contact, and Customer Address. If a line item matches all of these criteria the adjustment will be applied. Adjustments can also be removed from a line item if they do not need to be applied in particular circumstances.
At this time adjustments can only be generated automatically when line items are created and match the adjustment's criteria.
