SDL Desktop - Payment Adjustments
This guide is for SDL Desktop users who need to correct or reverse a previously entered payment. Follow these steps when you want to adjust a payment (zeroing it out and clearing its assignments), then enter a new, corrected payment afterward so the balance reflects the fix.
-
First, navigate to the payments section on your record and open the payment you previously entered.

-
Go to the Adjustment Tab on that payment.

-
Select the appropriate Adjustment type

-
Hit yes to adjust the entire payment amount automatically.

-
Click yes to remove all Payment Assignments on the bill.

-
The adjustment date should automatically be applied as the current date, but you can open the field to adjust if needed.

-
Use the Adjustment Notes field if you want to add any additional comments about the adjustment.

-
Click Apply then OK to save and close

-
The Payment item will now display 0 and the balance will have adjusted.

-
Later, when you are ready to enter a new payment, you will just hit the New button.

-
Enter the Payment Information as usual.

-
Click Apply and then OK.

-
You'll now see the adjusted payment, as well as the new payment, and again the balance should have updated.
