Source group adjustments in v16.161 Clark Wilkins, Simplexable 2018.01.30
A situation has been noted that required refinement to our source group accounting system. To recap the basics:
The situation that has arisen is a sale inside the transfer window which later has some credits issued. Since the source group tool takes the value out at full cost, we need to reset it for the credit amount if appropriate. (This might not be desirable for a group with no outside investors, but if you are doing back-charging for credits, you really need this correction.)
In the metadata, you can now enter a value (greater than zero) for credits you want compensated. The system will include this amount in the starting group value and thus offset the credit amount. For example, an item was sold for $1000 and the date means this was accounted for in the transfers. However, the item was credited in full later on and you want this amount excluded because the company received nothing. Add $1000 to the offset value and the transfer is effectively nulled out by raising the total group value by a compensating amount.
It's probably a good idea to use the accompanying notes field to record why you are doing this.
