Manually credit or debit a participant’s balance. Intended for customer service corrections, manual workflows, and one-off adjustments outside of the rules engine.
  • CREDIT — adds funds. No upper bound
  • DEBIT — removes funds. Fails if the participant does not have sufficient available balance, unless allow_negative is true (used for clawbacks)
Every adjustment creates a journal entry in the participant’s transaction history for auditability.
For usage patterns and examples, see the Balance Operations guide.
