Typically, accountants and bookkeepers use adjustment entries at fiscal year-end to record revenue earned and expenses incurred that are not recorded as invoices and bills. Adjustment entries may also be made to rectify incorrectly recorded transactions.

Learn how to:

• Record an adjustment
• Edit an adjustment
• Delete an adjustment

Record an adjustment

Example: Correcting services revenue incorrectly recorded to the Business Revenue account.

To create an adjustment entry, do the following:

1. In Flare's main menu, click Adjustment (1 below), and click the Add Adjustment button (2) on the Adjustments page.
   
   
   
   
2. Choose an adjustment date (3 below). The adjustment number is automatically generated; choose an account (4) to debit or credit; and,  enter the debit or credit amount (5).
   
   
   In this example, we are debiting Business Revenue by $1,000 and crediting Services Revenue by $1,000 to correct a recording error.
   
   Note: Selecting a vendor (6 above) is optional as the adjustment is being used to recategorize revenue without having to go through Sales > Invoices.
   
   
3. Enter an optional note about the entry (7). Click Add Item as needed if you need to adjust other accounts (8).
   
   
4. Click Save (9). The transaction is recorded in Flare, correcting the error, increasing Services Revenue by $1,000 and reducing Business Revenue by $1,000.
