In which situation might an adjustment transaction be executed?

An adjustment transaction is typically executed in scenarios where it is necessary to correct or modify account balances after a transaction has occurred. This can happen during the reconciliation process, where discrepancies between recorded transactions and actual account balances are identified. When reconciling balances, adjustments are often needed to ensure that the financial records accurately reflect the true state of the account. This is particularly important for maintaining accurate records in financial systems and for compliance with accounting standards. Thus, when a balance is reconciling after a transaction, an adjustment transaction helps to rectify any inconsistencies that may have arisen during the transaction process.

Other situations presented, such as during a terminal update or before a claim is processed, typically involve standard operational procedures rather than the need for adjustments that correct balance discrepancies. When a new loan is requested, it's more about initiating a new transaction rather than making corrections to existing balances.
