Tips   Balance an order

Reconcile, or balance, an order by adding adjustment items and comments to the order, as appropriate.

Reconcile charges for a non-Ariba Buyer order in the same way, but because there is no associated Ariba order number, no line item information is displayed.

    • Enter a comment to describe the adjustment.
    • Select an account associated with the adjustment amount.
    • Click Add to add the adjustment line item. You can add multiple lines (each with a different adjustment type, amount, and so on), to account for the difference (shown in bold). As you add adjustments, Ariba Buyer displays the difference between the total charged and your adjustment amounts.
