How to enter Non Business Adjustments (NBA)

The Non Business Adjustments (NBA) component of data loading allows you to adjust out any costs or revenue in the accounts that do not relate to the business. They also allow you to include costs or revenue that are business related but not already in the accounts.

Non Business Adjustments can be made when loading monthly data or after loading monthly data.

Entering an NBA DURING the monthly data load:

1. When loading a month of data into RTC, you are prompted with a Non Business Adjustment screen.
2. Click Add a Non Business Adjustment.
3. In the ‘Select the line to adjust‘ field, enter part of the account name to be adjusted and select from the list.
4. The software displays the value for the account for the month being loaded. Enter the Adjustment amount. Check that the Adjusted Value is what you are expecting.
5. Click Add Adjustment.
6. To adjust a second account, repeat the above steps.
7. To edit the amount, you need to delete the adjustment just created, and re-do it.

Entering an NBA AFTER the monthly data load:

Note: please Email Support if you need to adjust Balance Sheet values in RTC.  Only use these instructions for Income Statement adjustments.

1. From the menu, select the Monthly Data screen.
2. Choose the month/year you want to start from.
3. Click the Edit button (top-right).
4. Click on the 3 dots next to the line to be adjusted. Select Reallocate.
5. In each month to be adjusted, enter the amount. e.g. For an expense, enter a negative amount to increase it or a positive amount to decrease it.
6. In the ‘Select a Line’ field, type ‘NBA (Revenue)’ if it’s a revenue account being adjusted, ‘NBA (Direct)’ if it’s a direct cost, ‘NBA (Indirect)’ if it’s an Indirect Cost, or ‘NBA (Misc)’ if it’s a Miscellaneous account (purple). Tag the NBA line as NON-OPERATIONAL.
7. Click Apply.

This adjusts the line you chose and puts the opposite side to a Non Operational line (NBA….) which gets excluded from dashboard calculations.

Make a note of any adjustments you make because if data is reloaded, they will need to be re-entered.
