UB Contra Revenue Adjustment

1 Create a new Adjustments and Fees batch.

Adjustment transactions added to an existing batch will not overwrite the transactions already entered into the batch, but the batch will return to the Input step if a Proof List or GL Distribution report has already been created.
Open the Adjustments and Fees Batches window (UB> Adjustments and Fees). The Batches window will display all the open Adjustments and Fees batches.
Click here for information on Batch Processing.
Click the Create New Batch button to create a new batch. This will open the Create Batch window.

If there are open batches in the Adjustments and Fees process, you can create a new batch without affecting the open batches.

Enter a Batch Month and Batch Year. These fields will default to the current calendar period and calendar year and are used for reference only. The batch month and batch year do not affect the transaction or journal entry date of the transactions in the batch.
- The fiscal period the journal entry created is set up during the GL Distribution report (UB> Adjustments and Fees> GL Distribution> Journal Entry Date field).
Click Create to create the new Adjustments and Fees batch.

2 Open the Batch Overview page.

The Batch Overview page provides a general overview of the selected batch.
The left navigation menu displays all the steps in the Adjustments and Fees process.
In the main section you'll see information about batch steps that are currently processing, next available batch steps, and the last completed batch step.
- Batch steps that are currently processing will display a blue indicator bar to alert you that the step has not yet completed.
- Once the preceding batch step is complete, the next available batch steps will be enabled and you can select the next step you would like to run.
  - While some batch steps are optional, any batch step that includes the Required tag must be completed before the batch is allowed to proceed through to the Commit step.
The Batch Outputs section on the right will display any reports or exports that have already been generated in the Adjustments and Fees process.
