The distribution/error corrections allows the user to re-distribute amounts for revenue or expenditure accounts. For example, if expenditures need to be charged to more accounts than the purchase order was originally issued for or to correct an error in a previous expense.

      Total Distributed: displays the total amount distributed.  For example, if I re-distributed $100 from the 001-2740-423-0000-000000-001-00-000 to the 001-2740-423-0000-000000-002-00-000, the total distributed amount would be $100.

      Total Items: displays the total items' amount.  In my example above, if I re-distributed $100 from one account to another, the net amount would be $0 which is what would appear on the Total Items field.

      Legacy Fields:  Classic's ACTMOD Expense/Supplies Distribution transactions imported in the Redesign will create a Distribution/Error Correction transaction displaying the Legacy Check Number, Legacy Purchase Order Number and Legacy Receipt Number.  The actual transactions (the Legacy Check Number, PO Number and Receipt Number) are not imported.

More Information

By default the system will not allow budget and revenue corrections in the same transaction.  For example you can't increase an expenditure account and decrease a revenue account (or vice versa). They must be the same type of account (expenditure or revenue).  Also the amount reduced and the amount increased must equal to each other and balance to zero. The default rule affecting these behaviors is. org.ssdt_ohio.usas.model.distribution.DistributionRules.  This is a mandatory rule.
