Creating a Stock Adjustment
Correct stock across multiple products at once, with a categorized reason.
Adjust stock for one or more products in a single record, categorized by type — for accounting purposes, this matters: different types post to different GL accounts.
Fields
- Location (required)
- Adjustment type (required) — one of:
- Damaged
- Expired
- Lost / theft
- Stock correction — a routine count fix
- Returned to supplier
- Normal
- Abnormal
- Direction — increase or decrease (defaults to decrease)
- Items (required, at least 1) — product and quantity per line
- Amount recovered — if any value was recouped (e.g. a supplier credit for damaged goods)
- Reason (up to 1000 characters)
Picking the right type matters beyond record-keeping — each type routes to a different accounting entry. If you're unsure which applies, "Stock Correction" is the safest default for a routine count fix; use the more specific types (Damaged, Expired, etc.) when the cause is actually known.
