Step 1: Identify Total Production
The Total column under Production in Dentrix provides the total production amount:
Total Production: $278,352.85
Step 2: Calculate Adjustments
To calculate adjustments, subtract the +Adjustment from the -Adjustment under the Collections section:

-Adjustment: $19,239.27
Net Adjustments: $46,464.93 - $19,239.27 = $27,225.66
Step 3: Calculate Adjusted Production
Now, add the Total Production to the Net Adjustments:
Adjusted Production = Total Production + Adjustments
Adjusted Production = $278,352.85 + $27,225.66
Adjusted Production = $305,578.51
