To adjust a balance:Balance adjustments can be made to any user balance and to assignment level predefined balances. You can make adjustments to balances of any unit type, and when you adjust a balance there is no requirement for you to carry out further processing actions. However, Oracle Payroll processes the results of money balance adjustments in such a way that you can easily pay the value of an adjustment to an employee if you require.
When you save your adjustment, it processes like a payroll run with just one entry, and the value you enter becomes a processed run result. When you select a consolidation set for the adjustment, the system labels the run result for prepayments processing, in the same way that it labels the results of payroll runs and QuickPay runs.
You adjust balances in the Adjust Balance window.
To adjust a balance:Query the assignment for which you want to adjust the balance.

The window displays your current effective date. If the assignment is to a payroll, it also displays the corresponding payroll processing period.
Select the element whose pay or input values you want to change, and update the entry values as you require.
Select a consolidation set to control further post-run processing.
The default consolidation set displays automatically but you can select another set. This is a required field even for balance adjustments that do not require further post-run processing.
Check the Costed check box and select the Costing field if you want to cost the balance adjustment. This enables you to enter costing details by using the Cost Allocation key flexfield.

Oracle Payroll applies the adjustment by creating a processed run item equivalent to the adjustment value you entered. The option buttons display the progress of the adjustment's processing.
Note: If the transaction finally shows Error, check that the units of measure for the entry values are correct. If they are, consult your system administrator.
