Adjustment Field

Adjustment fields are text fields in the GUI that allow you to enter some text that will cause a particular calculation to be applied to a numerical or monetary value. They will disallow any text that does not describe an adjustment operation. There are the following adjustment operations:

Operation Explanation
+ add the following amount to the value (the default operation so the '+' can be missed out)
- subtract the following amount from the value
% calculate a percentage of the amount
~ round the value to the nearest multiple of the following amount

Only a single adjustment operation can be carried out.
