If you need to adjust Payroll costing after posting the original cost batch, create an adjustment batch.
You can only create an adjustment batch if all the pre-existing cost batches for the period are posted; that is, you can only have one non-posted batch at a time per Payroll period.
This functionality is not available in the US, Australia or Canada as it relies upon access to retrospective costing which currently those regions do not have.

Select the posted batch (or batches) you want to create an adjustment for.
In the action menu, choose Add Adjustment Batch and click Apply Action (
).The Add Adjustment Batch screen lets you confirm the batches to create an adjustment for.
Click Next (
).This runs a background process that creates an adjustment batch for the selected posted batch year and period.
While the adjustment batch is Incomplete, you can revise the costing using Retrospective Costing (see Retrospective Payroll costing), Secure Retrospective Costing or by loading a file using Post Calculation Cost Load (see Post Calculation Cost Load file format).
When you have updated the costing, select the adjustment batch.
In the action menu, choose Complete Adjustment Batch and click Apply Action
