Adjustment Message (ADJ Message)

From FloristWiki

The Adjustment Message allows only the sending Member to report an error on the Outgoing Orders section on the Combined Report.

Do not file this report until you have contacted the filling Member and an agreement is reached concerning the error.

Do not file this report for errors listed in the “Confirmation of Orders Filled (Incoming)” section of the Combined Report. You should contact the sending Member, explain the error and authorize the sending Member to file the Adjustment.
