Adjustment postings in SAP Business One: A guide

Correction postings in SAP Business One are a useful tool for correcting errors in existing postings without having to cancel the original posting. This is particularly important if the posting period of the original posting has already been closed. In such cases, manual adjustments are required.

Important aspects of correction bookings:

Use case

A typical scenario is the incorrect booking of a incoming invoice to a wrong Expense account.

Procedure

• The correction amount is manually transferred from the wrong account to the correct account.
• The amount originally posted incorrectly is entered as a negative value on the debit side of the incorrect account in order to correct the account total.
• At the same time, the amount is posted to the credit side of the correct account.
