Accounting Adjustment

When an asset is delivered to a customer, but then later is delivered to another customer without any records in between, TrackAbout will automatically create an Account Adjustment to correct customer balances. See here for more information about Accounting Adjustments.

For Linked Exchange, when an Accounting Adjustment takes place, TrackAbout will send the Accounting Adjustment information to the Linked Exchange recipient partner to update their system.
