## <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">Best Practices &amp; Considerations</span>

- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Document all adjustments**: When using the **Adjust** feature, always provide a clear and detailed reason for the modification. This is essential for maintaining a transparent and accurate audit trail.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Review item details before acting**: Before emailing a user or modifying an item, always click the **Item Number** to review the full details. This ensures you have the necessary context to take appropriate action.</span>

<p class="callout success">Periodically reviewing the **History** tab is a recommended best practice for verifying that adjustments and permit changes are accurately reflected in the user's account.</p>
