# Adjust and Reclassify Values in Reporting Entities

## Overview

You can use the **Adjust and reclassify values in reporting entities** app to adjust and reclassify account values per reporting entity. For example, it is possible to:

- Correct incorrect values at partner, cost center, and transaction type level
- Reclassify account values from the general ledger or a subledger to a statistical ledger
- Distribute values to several accounts

You can model the adjustments and reclassifications in freely definable scenarios with separate dimensions for the base values and the target postings.

## Creating the 'Adjust and Reclassify Values in Reporting Entities' App

The **Adjust and reclassify values in reporting entities** app can be created in any directory structure, provided that the element type **Next Generation App** has been [enabled](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/konfiguration-der-arbeitsbereiche/create-configure-directory-structures.md) for this directory structure.

To create the app, proceed as follows:

{% stepper %}
{% stepper-step %}
Navigate to the [directory structure](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/glossary.md#directory-structure) under which you want to create the app.
