Cross-border Adjustments

Last updated on 2026-04-10

Overview

While allocations and adjustments are legally distinct concepts, from a technical perspective, cross-border adjustments work similar to tax allocations and FTE & PE allocations.

Cross-border adjustments can be imported as part of the allocations import, but the adjustments can also be manually created. The Cross-border Adjustments workspace is used to create cross-border adjustments between the CE that is subject to the adjustment and the CE or member of a Joint Venture (JV) group. The transferred values affect the CE calculation in the fields INC-2.13 and CT-2.17.

In this article, the CE that is subject to the adjustment is called source CE, and the CE or member of a JV group is called the target CE.

This article contains the following sections:

The Cross-border Adjustments workspace can be found at Pillar 2 | Entity Data Collection | Cross-border Adjustments. The workspace is displayed as follows, for example:

Notes:

  • Adjustments use the local currency of the source CE.
  • The Incoming allocations tab is purely informational. Entering new adjustments or editing existing adjustments must be done outgoing from the source CE.
