AJT
Adjustment Details. The EDIFACT segment that qualifies the reason and context of an adjustment.
Definition
The AJT (Adjustment Details) segment specifies the reason for an adjustment applied to a line or a total. It carries a coded adjustment reason (UNCL 4465) and an adjustment line number. It typically accompanies quantity or monetary segments to justify a correction.
Origin
AJT appears in the UN/CEFACT UNTDID. It is used in messages such as REMADV (Remittance Advice) and CREADV (Credit Advice) where discrepancies between invoiced and paid amounts need line-level justification.
Example in context
AJT+10:SP+1'Here, 10 codes the adjustment reason (Goods short shipped), SP qualifies responsibility (Shipping party), and 1 identifies the adjustment line.
