Adjustments
Making
The Transaction Adjustments feature allows OPS-COM administrators to modify the financial balance of an Adjustmentexisting astransaction by adding a charge or applying a partial reimbursement. Its primary purpose is to correct payment discrepancies or issue partial credits without canceling the entire transaction. This guide is intended for OPS-COM administrators responsible for financial processing and user account management.
Setup and Configuration
Making a transaction adjustment is a core administrative function that requires no additional system setup. It is accessed entirely through the individual user's profile within the administrative portal.
Using this Feature
Administrators can initiate an Adminadjustment directly from the transaction record. Adjustments can be made before a transaction is completed or after the payment has been processed.
