adjustmentrelated

Adjustmentrelated is an adjective used primarily in metadata tagging and terminology to indicate that an item, dataset, process, or concept is connected to the act of making adjustments or corrections. It denotes a relationship to modification, calibration, or adaptation rather than to the original state.

In data management and statistics, adjustment-related entries describe values that have been altered after initial capture, such as retroactive corrections, inflation adjustments, tax-rate changes, or other factor-based revisions. In manufacturing and engineering, adjustment-related tasks include calibration, alignment, tolerance setting, and parameter tuning performed to meet specifications.

In accounting, adjustment-related work refers to journal entries that adjust balances at period end or to reflect revised estimates, and they are often flagged for audit and reconciliation. As a labeling practice, categorizing items as adjustment-related helps distinguish changes from original data and supports traceability, reproducibility, and governance in data catalogs, software repositories, and process documentation.
