Overview
An inventory adjustment would be processed to register any changes or differences among stock quantities in a given warehouse. The reason for such an adjustment could be to enter any variances of stock quantities based on the results of periodic stock taking. This functional section is used for that reason and also used to enter the opening balances of the existing stocks at the beginning of using the system.
This screen represents a transaction that affects the Inventory Items for a particular Warehouse based on differences in a stock taking process or due to a fortuitous event (accidental loss, damage, etc.). The reason for adjustments is to keep the consistency between the 'physical' and the 'on books' Inventory.
