The PS&R system processes adjustments with a frequency code of 7 (cancel) and 8 (reissue). Other types of
adjustments, e.g., credits and debits, PRO adjustments, cannot be handled by this system. Prepare an
interface program that will convert the adjustments to frequency codes 7 or 8 in order to process PRO
debit/credit adjustments and maintain the data in the PS&R system for cost settlement.
