# More on Adjustments

#### Validation

Validation is performed when you save the Adjustment.

If the Amount entered exceeds the value specified by Data Profile > Adjustments > MAXAMOUNT, the field fails validation and the following message is displayed: ***This value exceeds the maximum allowed value of <MAXAMOUNT>***.

#### Duplicate Adjustment Check

When you save an Adjustment the system verifies if the Type selected is configured to not allow duplicate Adjustments (Allow Duplicates = false).

If duplicates are not allowed the system checks to see if an Adjustment of the same type already exists on the account with the same amount and same transaction date.

If a duplicate is found then a pop-up is displayed with the Title "Duplicate Adjustment Found". The message reads:

"This adjustment cannot be created because an adjustment of the same type and amount already exists on this account for the specified date.

The selected adjustment type does allow duplicates."

#### Processing

If the Adjustment is not marked as blocked or dated for the future, when you click **Save** the Create Adjustment pop-up is replaced with the ***Processing*** pop-up.

If the Adjustment is not meant to process immediately they are returned to the Balances grid.

#### Backdating Control

Creating Payments and Adjustments can be governed by Backdating controls if this functionality is enabled.

When you click **SAVE** on creating or editing a Payment or Adjustment the system checks the ***Enable Backdating Control*** setting in Desktop Client ->Applications->Accounts Receivable Management ->Backdating Controls if the date for the transaction is set to a date in the past.

If the setting is set to true and the date specified is a date that is closed to backdating then a pop-up message is displayed to indicate the selected month is closed to new transactions.

A month is considered to be closed to backdating if the number of days configured in the ***Previous Month Will close...*** setting have elapsed since the last day of the previous month.
