Using Inventory Adjustments

Use Inventory Adjustments to make corrections to physical inventory balances or valuation if there is no alternative way to make the necessary inventory changes. 

Note that this option is different than "transferring" an item from one code to another, for which you would simply use an inventory transfer or a work order.

Note: When adding or changing inventory for a standard cost item, the system will value the item at the current standard cost and the user will not be allowed to change the valuation.

The fields appearing below the solid line refer to all lots of the item currently in inventory.

For a list of fields and definitions on the screen, refer to Inventory Adjustments.

1. At the Item field, enter the item group and enter the item code.

If you are uncertain about how to enter an item code, see Navigating Net Yield - Selecting an Item Code.

Note: Lots created through Inventory Adjustments will be assigned numbers as follows: L + MONTH AND DATE OF ADJUSTMENT + LA + 01 (02,03, etc.). Sequential numbering (last two digits) begins with 01 every day. Up to 99 adjustments may be entered for a given item in one day. Examples: 1st adjust for item 10000000 on 01/02/15. Lot #: L0102-LA-01. 1st adjust for item 20000001 on 01/02/15. Lot #: L0102-LA-01. 2nd adjust for item 10000000 on 01/02/15. Lot #: L0102-LA-02.

When you have updated, the system makes the corresponding accounting entries for the items, sales categories, and cost adjustment types and creates the journal entry batches.

If quantities have been increased and the Inventory Labels setting has been set to Y (Y = Yes) for Inventory Adjustments, the following message will appear: "Print Labels? No/Yes."
