NOTE: Debit and Credit adjustments: 

  1. Adjustments with a future date cannot be applied to trust accounts
  2. If you manually add a debit adjustment to record a negative balance from a previous application and have applied an interest rule, interest will not apply to these entries. Interest can only be applied to fees and/or costs. Rocket Matter does not include interest on a debit adjustment.
