Adding Adjustments instead of backing them out?

Summary

Backing out adjustments results in sign logic being the opposite to the accounting/financial rules

Hi Tim & everyone,

I have raised this question some time ago during the implementation and now that the Power Users have become a bit more mature in ARCS, they have indicated the same to me.

Adjustments are created to correct a General Ledger or a sub-system balance, the correction could be for either an existing incorrect journal or for a missing one or could be a combination of both cases.

When accountants create an adjustment, they apply the financial/accounting logic to decide the sign of the adjustment.
