Supplier cost adjustments in Release 12.1
From Release 12 the restrictions on Supplier Invoice Adjustments have been removed. Although the Payable option Allow adjustments to paid invoices remains it only affects adjustments in Payables, adjustments to paid Invoices can still be done in Projects even if this option is disabled. Receipt Accrual Transactions from Purchasing can also now be adjusted.
This is because the routing has changed. Adjustments flow through Sub Ledger Accounting to the General Ledger. Payables and Purchasing know nothing of the changes carried out in Projects.
As these unrestricted adjustments to Supplier Invoices and Receipt Accruals may be something that the client does not want to take place in Projects, the Allow Adjustmentsflag is now accessible for each of these transaction sources. This flag defaults to not selected i.e. adjustments are not allowed for these transaction sources. Therefore if you try to do an adjustment without changing this flag you will get the error message.
The Supplier Cost Clearing Account needs to be defined in either the Project Implementation options or as a rule in SLA because the definition of this in Payables is no longer being referred to.
