Stock Adjustments

In this article

Use a stock adjustment to correct a warehouse quantity outside the purchase order receiving process. For example, add products found during a recount or remove missing products. For a delivery against a purchase order, use Purchase Order Receiving.

Creating an adjustment saves a Pending record. Inventory changes only when you commit it. A Completed adjustment stays in the Stock Adjustment list and cannot be edited or deleted. To undo its quantities, create and commit a reversal.
