Manual Stock Adjustments

Correcting Inventory Counts

Sometimes you need to manually adjust stock levels to match physical reality.

When to Adjust

  • After a cycle count reveals discrepancies
  • Damaged or lost inventory
  • Miscounted receiving
  • System errors

Making an Adjustment

  1. Go to the product's detail page
  2. Find the inventory item at the specific location
  3. Click Adjust
  4. Enter the new quantity (or the adjustment amount)
  5. Select a reason for the adjustment
  6. Click Save

The adjustment is logged as a stock movement with full audit trail including who made the change and why.

Adjustment Reasons

Providing a reason helps with auditing:

  • Cycle count reconciliation
  • Damage/breakage
  • Theft/shrinkage
  • Receiving error correction
  • System correction

Important: Use manual adjustments sparingly. For routine operations, use the proper workflows (Receiving, Pick Lists, Transfers) to maintain a clean audit trail.
