Stock adjustments
Use stock adjustments to decrease on-hand quantity when inventory is gone and there is no sale, supplier return, or transfer — for example breakage, leakage, spoilage, theft, fire, or a cycle-count short.
Adjustment types
Section titled “Adjustment types”| Type | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Normal | Routine loss (leakage, damage, spoilage) |
| Abnormal | Exceptional loss (fire, accident, theft) |
Amount recovered is optional money from insurance or scrap.
What not to use this for
Section titled “What not to use this for”- To add stock → use a purchase (received) or opening stock.
- To correct a sale → use POS returns or fulfillment tools, not an adjustment.
- Serial-tracked items in v1 → use other inventory tools as guided on screen.
