# Creating and Configuring Adjustment Levels

## Overview

You can create and configure adjustment levels in Lucanet. **Adjustment levels** determine the guidelines according to which a value is posted and measured. There is at least one adjustment level on which all data imports are saved by default. In general, it is useful to reserve an adjustment level for the data imports from the financial accounting source system. This ensures that the values on this adjustment level in Lucanet precisely match the data of internal accounting. Any adjustment postings (HGB, IFRS, US-GAAP or corporation valuation adjustment postings in connection with the consolidated financial statements) should then be made on adjustment levels created specifically for this purpose.

{% stepper %}

{% u %}{% /u %}Right-click the root folder **Adjustment levels** or another folder.
{% /stepper-step %}
