## Manual Adjustments

[Manual Adjustments](/documentation/data-management/adjustment-portal) allow you to ingest Journals directly to
to correct, update, or refine financial data.

## Extracts

[Extracts](/documentation/processing-configuration/data-extraction/overview) allow you to extract Journals,
Unposted Journals, Errors, Balances, and user-defined Entities (stored in FDS) automatically according to
schedules defined by you to eliminate manual extractions. Extracted data can be later used by downstream services,
for example, General Ledger.

## Period Locking

[Period Locking](/documentation/data-management/subledger/period-locking) allows you to control data feed incoming into
periods in the form of posted Journals. By either closing or opening periods, you can either prevent new Journals from
being posted or allow it.

## Error Management

[Error Management](/documentation/data-management/error-management-service/overview) service allows you to export a
log with processing errors for Business Events and Journals.

## Flow

[Flow](/documentation/processing-configuration/flow/overview) allows you to create custom processing within Fynapse framework.

Fynapse Flow allows you to compose your own integrated Fynapse processes, i.e. Flows, comprising of lookups, calculation
rules, native Fynapse processes such as the Accounting Engine processing and Journal processing, etc.

By creating process Flows that combine native Fynapse services with configurable or custom rules, you can configure the
Fynapse platform to meet the specific finance automation and data consumption needs of your organization with the fastest
possible time-to-value.
