Accrual Accounting>Add Ability to Manually Edit Accrual Amounts
Alma calculates accrual percentages based on days, while we have always calculated the percentages/amounts based on months. That creates problems when we manually calculate an invoice outside of Alma, and then try to re-create it in Alma. We have had instances in which we have different amounts in Alma and with our business office as we could not enter the amounts manually in Alma. It would be really helpful to be able to manually edit amount fields for both fiscal years.
As another example, a 50/50 split of an odd number, e.g. 49.87 requires one year to be 24.93 and one to be 24.94. Currently, we have no control over which fiscal year gets billed more.

I completely agree with you; it is essential to have access to manual input for financing. People can calculate errors much better if they understand this topic. I often write out and calculate my salary myself when there are some nuances or problems. When the month is stable, and everything is fine, I use a special service to create checks for my employees' salaries. A friend told me how to get a pay stub on https://www.paystubcreator.net/ to make my work easier and save time. In general, it is essential to know how both options are done if you want to control your cash flow and not lose sight of anything

what is the difference between checks for one day and for a month?

I agree with Phoebe. Also a checkbox for manually overriding the accrual options per invoice. So it defaults to the standard math according to settings, but we can adjust it- either by percentage or amount.

How about creating a configuration option for how accrual can be calculated? Based on days or months.
