Create adjustment transactions

This extension allows you to generate accounting adjustment transactions (revaluation or devaluation to fair market value) for all securities by entering their market price in the dialog. To ensure correct input, the value must be entered without a thousands separator, and the decimal separator must be a period ("."). The program automatically proposes the list of securities found in the Items table.

Once you enter the market price, the program calculates the necessary adjustment by comparing the book value with the market value. The market price used for the adjustment is automatically inserted into the transaction description.

Before recording the transactions, a preview dialog is displayed, allowing you to review and confirm the adjustments. If the book value and the market value are identical, or if the security has a quantity of zero, no adjustment transaction is created.

The adjustment transaction is recorded using the cost or revenue account specified in the Account settings dialog under the "Other value changing income field". If no account is found, a placeholder is inserted instead.

This feature ensures that your securities are properly revalued while giving you full control over the adjustments before they are recorded. This operation could be performed multiple time in a year.
